I had a really great experience with Keith Gunn Ltd.
I moved into a flat with a ventilation unit/setup which was estimated by another company as costing £2,000.00 to repair/replace. This just wasn’t realistic for my budget and no other company in Edinburgh provided a quote or any solutions whatsoever due to the unique setup in the flat. Some companies cheekily offered a call out fee charge just to see the project, even though they front-loaded the conversation telling me they had no solutions in mind.
After speaking with a great staff member, Scott Virtue, and telling him about my headaches, we came to the ideal solution: replacing the unit system with an inline fan which would give me what I needed at a fraction of the price.
Thereafter, the company were very accommodating with last minute changes in my availability, and even more so when I managed to do some of the work prior to their attendance, whereby the quote was quickly altered to reflect what was needed/carried out.
Electrician carried out the work on time and within an hour - finally putting my ventilation dramas to bed.
Couldn’t be more thankful for the staff finding me solutions to what was 3 months of being turned away for one reason or another by other companies. Would recommend 100% and will contact them again for future projects!

I had my entire flat completely rewired by Keith Gunn Electrical Solutions. I am very happy with their work, professionalism, friendliness and price. Everything went as expected with regular updates as to how the work was progressing on a daily basis. Any issues with items being changed or locations were discussed before that part of the work went ahead. Would highly recommend this company, excellent from start to finish.

Excellent work carried out efficiently and carefully. We recommend Keith Gunn wholeheartedly. The work you carried out for us several years ago impressed us then and your standard remains high still. Thank you.

A relatively small job but yet again, fantastic service. Efficient, professional, courteous, tidied up, went above and beyond. Couldn’t recommend KGES highly enough and I rarely state such.

Outstanding experience from the get go, all the way to the execution - in terms of the speed and quality of the response at all stages. A] understanding the problem at hand and providing the quote and arranging for the same day visit [by Scott ], and B] then the visit by Louis [the technician] fixing our main problem [change of Electrical Hob Isolator switch] very efficiently, and also additionally kindly helping with other issues [a flickering light and a faulty light holder] so graciously. A real pleasure all the way. Thank you !!

The men who came to do the work had to come a number of times before the issue was finally resolved but were determined to sort the fault. We now have a functioning bell which looks and sounds great. All of the electricians who came to our house were delightful and extremely helpful - not showing any signs of frustration. I would definitely recommend them.

I simply cannot fault the service received from Keith Gunn Electricians. I have never experienced such helpful and knowledgeable personnel. I had an urgent electrical repair that was required and Scott was instrumental in getting the work booked in and completed as fast as absolutely possible - A real credit to the company.

We had a review of the house as new owners of the house. Stephen was prompt and respectful, very knowledgable and answered all my odd questions. Everything was explained to me but also sent in the report so we had a full record.
Will be using Keith Gunn again!

Engineer who came to do 2 jobs, including repairing a fan, said it didn't need doing. When we noticed fan still not working, Keith Gunn tried to charge a second call out fee to come and do job original engineer was employed to do. We weren't happy. Keith Gunn would not budge on second call out fee so we ended up getting another electrician in to do the job which was done very efficiently ( and for half price Keith Gunn wanted). Extra item was charged for in invoice though this was corrected when this pointed out. I recognise the many good reviews here but would suggest people get other quotes, check invoices very carefully and prepare to go elsewhere when faults are not corrected.

BUSINESS RESPONSE: This client was offered two quote options relating to a fan issue. She asked us to investigate and repair the fan issue rather than replace it, which was the cheaper option. Our engineer investigated the fan and found a loose connection, so he thought it was fixed. It turned out that the repair didn’t last, so we didn’t charge for this service as it was part of another job which included smoke detectors. As we would then have to return to replace the fan on a separate visit, our first hour charge was applied to the quote which the client did not agree with. She wanted the job done at the lower quoted price that was part of the original job which didn’t even cover our call out charge. There was a small discrepancy on the clients invoice, but as soon as this was highlighted, it was resolved immediately. I am sorry she feels our service was not up to scratch on this occasion but I do not know what more we could have done and feel disappointed they felt they had to leave this review.

Similar pricing to others but better advice on wiring regulation requirements. Electrician was swift, left hardly a trace that he had been and did a great job on our installation - very best and tidy. Thank you!

Fire alarm installation and investigating loose light fitting.
Phoned in the morning (quick to answer!) and the electrician came at lunchtime to do the job. Very happy with the service, super quick. Will definitely use again. Thanks.

A speedy, efficient and friendly service with the highest quality of work and professionalism. Keith Gunn give a variety of options when quoting to accommodate for low, middle and higher ranges. They put in great time and effort when outsourcing difficult or discontinued parts whilst maintaining the best possible price for lower budget requirements. I couldn't recommend this business enough. Thanks team!

Have have several things done since late last year:
• Garage electrics disconnected after rainwater had trickled into the part of the garage where the old socket and light switch are;
• Repaired outside junction facility for all the other outside lights; and installed two new automatic floodlights at prominent corners of the house to light up my driveway area in the dark (both of which work well);
• Fixed a number of inside light connections on the same trip switch as, and therefore affected by, the work on the outside lights and garage disconnection;
• Replaced several old lights in the house with new LED equivalents, including new chandeliers for the two main rooms downstairs, and two good new wall lights for the stairs/upstairs landing.
• Also have had a (brief) review done of all my existing wiring - and because of its age and its materials therein, a full rewiring is now recommended - and I aim to get that done as well later this summer.
A few items of work required revisits after the main work was completed - in both February and May 2022 - but everything covered by the recent repair/replacement jobs works fine now as I would expect.
