I had a fantastic experience with Jamie installing Fox solar panels and battery (Nov 2024). From the initial conversation, he was knowledgeable but spoke in plain English, with no sales nonsense. I had several quotes and Jamie was very competitive on price. Having discussed the installation at length with him and how he wanted to go about it, I decided he was the installer for me. Jamie is an electrician by trade (MCS registered), with family business experience in roofing, so he’s perfectly qualified for the job. Furthermore, as he’s the main part of the installation team, you’re not having to pay for what is a essentially an extra project manager.

Once I’d given him the green light, everything happened very quickly (at my request). He called in a favour with the scaffolders, which went up the next day. 2 days after that the installation was complete. Jamie and his roofer turned up at 7:30 both mornings and worked through till dark on both days. They took the upmost care in the installation. Nothing was rushed. (beware of installers claiming they can do a big install in 1 day). Jamie’s electrical work was outstanding. All wiring was very neat and tidy, so much so that the person installing my new smart meter a week later commented on ‘how good the electrician was’ that I used for the installation. In his words ‘it’s all the little things that he’s taken good care of’.

My installation design wasn’t straight forward, as I have an external garage to house the battery and extra solar panels, in addition to the house roof, which has velux. Both of the other installers I spoke to wanted to run cables along my wall connecting the garage to the house, and both wanted me to dig a small trench under a slab to run cables from house to wall. Jamie hadn’t mentioned the slab but was originally planning to run the cables on the wall. The moment I knew I’d made the right choice with Jamie during installation was when he spoke to me to say he wanted to dig up the garden to run the cables under ground, rather than run them along the wall. When I asked why, the answer was ‘because running 3 cables will look awful along the wall’. He was right. So at no extra cost, he and his labourer dug a deep trench about 15 yards from house to garage and ran them underground. This is hard work! Ask yourself how many tradesmen would want to do all the extra work, for no extra money, just to make it look better for the customer? They put all the earth back and it looked terrific. They also ran cables further underground to my smart meter rather than along the wall. It was such a good job you can’t notice any cables at all. Even in my garage, because everything happened so quickly, I’d forgot to move a load of heavy equipment when they arrived. They just moved it all without any complaint and got on with the job. They left everything exceptionally neat and tidy.

Post install, Jamie’s after sales has been fantastic. As promised, I received all the important documents (including MCS certificate and everything required for SEG application) the very next morning after installation, which was a Saturday. He continually chased the scaffolders to remove that, which came down a week later. He responds to emails lightening quick. He’s answered all my questions and called me back at my request for further support. He even sent me a battery schematic which was requested by my new energy supplier, within minutes of me asking for one. I received all non essential documentation 2 weeks later.

My new system is working flawlessly and my energy company are now paying me for my electricity exports, rather than the other way around. Jamie is a fantastic tradesmen, the best I’ve ever worked with in fact. I have absolutely no reservations in recommending him to anyone reading this. Disclosure – Before a few weeks ago I’d never spoken to Jamie before. I am in no way incentivised for writing this review but desperately wanted to do it as a small token of my gratitude for an exceptional job, well done.

Thanks Jamie, it was a pleasure.

Couldn't recommend Jamie highly enough. From start to finish, very professional. After speaking to most of the bigger companies, it was refreshing to speak to someone who knew what they were talking about, and was patient enough to explain the system clearly. In the end, the price, quality of system and install, and overall service was top notch. If you've done loads of research and are hesitating, don't - go for Jamie.

Jamie and his colleague recently installed solar panels at my home, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the entire process. From the initial consultation to the final installation, their professionalism and expertise were evident. Jamie was punctual, friendly, and took the time to explain everything clearly, answering all my questions with patience.

The installation itself was seamless, and they ensured everything was cleaned up before they left. I can’t wait to see the benefits hit my wallet! I highly recommend Jamie and his team to anyone considering solar panels – you won’t be disappointed!

Great experience from start to finish, Jamie was always available even when on leave to answer my questions, and squeezed us in at extremely short notice, and happily included some extra bits at no additional charge.

Very thorough during the solar and battery installation, as well as walking us through the system once complete.

Install was very neat and tidy, from the panel installation to the external cabling, no issues to raise on our part, and very happy with the install so far.

Jamie has been there from start to finish and no doubt will be available to answer any questions down the line if any crop up

Hello. Very nice people. Anytime they will answer to your phone and answer to your question even they are busy. Jamie is very helpful and honest guy. He installed an EV charger an gave me a very good price. The system was at a very good price and the is working well. Unfortunately is not much sun as we are in winter but even now the solar still produce some electricity. Everything was done in one day. Very professional. You will not go wrong with Jamie. I had few quotes for other companies but couldn't beat J H Electrical. I hope everything will go well and I recommend Jamie as is nice guy and explain everything from begin to the end.

Jamie recently installed a solar and battery system for me in County Durham. I chose to use Jamie following extensive research and found that Jamie offered me a very good value for money system, having spent a lot of time answering questions for me during my research and checking in with me but without being pushy or using and salesman speak.

A couple of other places I contacted use typical sales spin, whereas Jamie was just honest and straight talking.

Re-works of the quotes came promptly. The work done was very tidy. There was lots of engagement around where I wanted things and he even went to pick up some building materials from the merchant so that we could make it all fit in to an area I wanted the batteries and inverter to go.

Everything was done as planned, very efficiently, with a very smart and tidy set up, which a week on is producing excellent results despite the poor weather - I can’t wait for summer to come back around.

I have already recommended Jamie to others and wouldn’t hesitate to use again (and indeed will when we move home at some point in the future).

Feeling very fortunate to have found someone who offered such good value and service and did such a good job. Thank you!

Had solar panels and battery supplied and fitted at the beginning of November which everything looks very neat and tidy with great communication and service from start to Finish, even the after sales are great. I would highly recommend using J.H electrical for your solar panels at a very reasonable cost

They came on a Sunday for me and fitted me a great Solor package. They worked around a house full of kids with autism. They payed attention to every detail for me.
