⚡ A little heads-up for households with solar PV and battery storage ⚡

We were recently called out by a new customer who had been left concerned after another company disconnected part of her solar system, claiming it was unsafe.

After carrying out the proper testing, we found the issue was limited to a single faulty part. Despite the panels being around 10 years old and producing a bit less than modern systems, the overall setup was still working as it should. We safely reconnected the string and provided a quote to address some genuinely poor and unsafe aspects of the original installation.

The takeaway? Not every “unsafe” diagnosis tells the full story.

We always recommend choosing a trusted local installer with solid reviews and a reputation for doing things properly 👍

⚡ Landlords: You could get £500 towards installing an EV charger!

The UK Government has increased grants for EV charge point installations to up to £500 per socket – helping cover nearly half the cost of installation.

From 1 April 2026, landlords, renters and flat owners can take advantage of the boosted funding, which has increased from £350 and will run until March 2027. ()

With more tenants switching to electric vehicles, installing an EV charger can make your property more attractive and future-ready.

Our team at Southam Electrical Bros can help with installation and guide you through the process.

New project completed near Bibury!

This one was a bit different for us — a brand new outbuilding and office wired to a very high smart spec.

We ran a 4-core 25mm armoured cable in parallel with the existing supply to handle the load and cable length. A wired Rako lighting system was also installed by us and later configured by others.

All circuits are protected by 30mA Type A RCDs for safety ✅

During testing we found a few issues that needed fixing — no connection on the main earth rod, missing oil bonding, and no earth rod at the tractor barn (where the supply came from). We sorted all of this and supplied full paperwork to the client.

Another job done safely and to a high standard 👷‍♂️⚡

⚡ A quick word of warning from Southam Electrical Bros ⚡

Over the past year, we’ve been called out to fix a worrying amount of unsafe electrical work — often done by unqualified people claiming to be electricians.

The fuseboard in the photo below was close to catching fire — a dangerous reminder of why it’s so important to use properly qualified tradespeople.

✅ Always check your electrician is registered with NIC EIC or NAPIT — this ensures they meet professional standards and carry the right insurance.

🔍 And before you hire anyone, take a minute to Google the company name and read their reviews. Real feedback from real customers can tell you a lot.
