What do electrician services include?
Local electrical contractors can handle all electrical projects, whether for residential, commercial, or industrial properties. If you are building from scratch, they can help construct an efficient electrical framework for you. They can also establish new electrical wiring and control panels, and test the electrical flow for your safety.
As for existing properties, electricians can routinely maintain, repair, and upgrade your power systems whenever needed. They can also handle electrical equipment and machinery for factories and manufacturing plants. Here is a better overview of electrical services you can book:
Domestic electrician near me
Electrical safety is paramount when it comes to your home, and that's when residential electricians play a vital role. They follow safety regulations and make sure that all electrical components and control panels, including electrical wiring and cables, are in good condition to avoid any incidents that could put you and your family at risk.
Domestic electricians can establish power points and switches to support your household appliances. They can also assist with installing various electrical appliances such as electric heaters and showers, in case you're looking to upgrade or planning a renovation. All while ensuring they follow all building regulations.
Commercial electrician near me
Not to be confused with domestic electricians, commercial electricians are mostly involved in large-scale projects for buildings and various businesses like restaurants, hotels, and corporate offices. Depending on your establishment's requirements, they can fix lighting, heating, and cooling systems or install fire alarms and other security equipment if needed.
Industrial electrician near me
For engineering projects or tasks that involve higher voltage systems and more complex machinery, it's better to connect with a licensed industrial electrician. Their services include electrical construction and maintenance for industries like factories and plants. They don't just install lights and electrical heaters. Most of the time, they also deal with different types of manufacturing equipment, including hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Industrial electricians can also troubleshoot problems and repair them as they see fit. They can even create tailored maintenance programs for your electrical motors and generators.
Emergency electrician
The moment you sense something odd with your control panels, sockets, and switches, or notice a burning smell, spark, or flickering of lights, get in touch with a local electrician immediately. With Airtasker, finding available emergency electricians in your area is fast and easy! You won't even have to worry about not having any tools on hand–most electricians are already equipped with their own professional tool kits, which they can bring with them for any service that you may need.

Replace small pcb on Dimplex Danville DNV20CH electric fire
£75
Willowbrae, City of Edinburgh
1st Apr 2026
The Dimplex Danville DNV20CH fire stopped working. I have bought 4 new lamps, a new transducer and a new fan and none of these purchases have got the fire to work again. I have now purchased a new PCB , which I believe was the issue in the first place, but I need assistance from someone with the skills to remove the existing pcb and replace it with the new one. The disconnecting and reconnecting the wires is the difficult task and remembering where they all go back to.

Diagnose and repair electrical issue with indicators on a 2012 CBR600f
£150
Balerno, City of Edinburgh
11th May 2025
An issue has developed with the indicators on my 012 Honda CBR600f, they now don't work at all and I have spent ages fault finding and haven't found any obvious reasons for why, especially since they stopped working randomly. It's not the indicators themselves that are broken or the fuse, relay or switch so I honestly have no clue why it's not working.
