Capital City Electrical Services

Capital City Electrical Services (CCES) is an electrical contracting business based in Edinburgh, Scotland. According to its own website, the company was established in 2008 and has been a member of the NICEIC Approved Electrical Contractors list since 2009. It describes itself as a trusted and reliable Edinburgh electrician serving customers in the city as well as throughout Scotland and the North of England. The firm undertakes both domestic and commercial contracts. Its stated range of work spans small jobs such as additional wiring and sockets in a home through to re-wiring complete houses and offices. Services advertised include electrical installations and repairs, inspection and testing, 24-hour emergency callouts, wiring and re-wiring, data cabling, commercial electrical services, storage heating, additional socket outlets, ventilation, fuse board replacements and upgrades, water heaters, earthing and equipotential bonding, shower units, television and telephone points, linked smoke alarms, heat detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, and lighting installations. It also specialises in domestic and commercial lighting design and installation, including security and floodlighting, garden and exterior lighting, specialised LED arrangements, kitchen and bathroom low-voltage lighting, commercial installations and emergency lighting. For landlords, CCES offers testing and inspection reports, PAT testing and HMO works, alongside EICR periodic inspection reports and smoke alarm services, positioning itself as a compliance and safety partner for rental property owners. The company emphasises free, no-obligation quotes, competitive pricing and a professional, fast service, and it publishes customer testimonials from clients in Edinburgh, Fife, Falkirk and Birmingham. A notable specialism is electric vehicle (EV) charger installation. CCES states that it is accredited by OZEV (the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles) and can install home EV charging points under the Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS), quoting EVHS installer number EVHS3241. It lists approved-installer relationships with brands including Anderson EV, Ohm, My Energi, Rolec, Eassee and Project EV. The company notes that home chargers are typically fitted in a single day and are usually mounted on an exterior wall of a house or garage. CCES is a private, locally focused contracting business rather than a national utility or manufacturer. Its brand identity rests on trade accreditation (NICEIC, OZEV), geographic coverage across Edinburgh, the Lothians, Scotland and the north of England, and a broad service catalogue covering both traditional electrical work and newer EV charging infrastructure.

Capital City Electrical Services was established in 2008, according to the company's own website. From its base in Edinburgh, it built a business serving both domestic and commercial customers, and in 2009 it joined the NICEIC Approved Electrical Contractors list — a trade accreditation the company presents as a core assurance of professionalism and quality for its clients. Over the following years the firm expanded its advertised service range beyond routine domestic wiring. Its website describes work ranging from small jobs such as additional sockets and wiring in a home to re-wiring complete houses and offices, and it states that it can travel throughout Scotland and to the north of England for major contracts. Alongside general electrical installation and repair, the company added inspection and testing services, including EICR periodic inspection reports and PAT testing, and developed a dedicated offer for landlords covering HMO works and smoke alarms. A significant later development was the addition of electric vehicle charger installation. CCES states that its EV installers are accredited by OZEV (the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles), allowing it to install home charging points under the Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS), and it quotes EVHS installer number EVHS3241. The company positions itself as an approved installer for charger brands including Anderson EV, Ohm, My Energi, Rolec, Eassee and Project EV. Its website notes that home chargers are typically fitted in a single day and are usually mounted on an exterior wall of a house or garage, and it explains the EVHS grant rules, including the April 2022 changes that ended grants for certain property types. By its own account, the business has operated for over 14 years and continues to serve Edinburgh, the Lothians, the wider Scotland area and the north of England. It markets itself on free no-obligation quotes, competitive pricing and customer testimonials from clients across Edinburgh, Fife, Falkirk and Birmingham. The company remains a privately held, locally rooted electrical contractor rather than part of a national group.
