Premium electrical installations
across Cambridgeshire

Afta Electrical covers the whole of Cambridgeshire — from the university city of Cambridge and the unitary authority of Peterborough in the north to the market towns of Huntingdon, St Neots and St Ives in the west and the fenland towns of Ely, March and Wisbech in the east. Our engineers install solar PV, battery storage and EV chargers daily across the county, alongside consumer unit replacements and EICR inspections for landlords, homeowners and businesses.

Cambridgeshire's technology-forward communities — particularly around Cambridge and the Science Park — tend to be early adopters of solar and battery technology. We regularly work alongside home automation systems, heat pump installations and time-of-use tariff setups to ensure battery storage is configured for maximum financial benefit. Whether you are in a period property in central Cambridge, a new-build in St Neots or a rural farm near Ely, we have the experience to design and install the right system.

Cambridgeshire homeowners increasingly combine solar, battery storage and EV charging into integrated systems. We design and install complete energy packages — solar, battery and EV charger together — from a single specialist team. All systems are configured for compatibility with smart home and time-of-use tariff setups.

Common Questions

FAQs — Electrical services
in Cambridgeshire

Do you cover fenland areas and rural Cambridgeshire?

Yes. We cover the whole of Cambridgeshire, including the Fens around Ely, March and Wisbech. Fenland properties often represent some of the best solar opportunities in the county — flat open landscape, very little shading and excellent irradiance. Many fenland farms and rural properties also have large roof areas suitable for higher-capacity arrays.

Can you install solar on a new-build in Cambridgeshire?

Yes. New-build properties in Cambridgeshire are increasingly being designed with solar-readiness in mind, and we regularly install on both recently built homes and those under five years old. We check warranty conditions and structural loading specifications before installation and can coordinate with developers or building warranties where required.

What is the difference between G98 and G99 DNO applications in Cambridgeshire?

Most domestic solar systems in Cambridgeshire (up to 3.68kW export per phase) fall under G98 which allows self-notification to the DNO — we submit this on your behalf after installation. Larger systems require a G99 application, which involves formal approval from UK Power Networks (the DNO for Cambridgeshire) before installation can proceed. G99 applications typically add 6–12 weeks to the project timeline. We manage both types for you at no extra cost.

Can you combine a solar, battery and EV charger installation in one visit?

Yes — and this is one of the most cost-effective ways to install all three. When we install solar, battery storage and an EV charger together, we can optimise cable routes, share consumer unit capacity planning and complete all commissioning in a single visit or series of visits, reducing overall installation cost and disruption. Contact us to discuss a combined package for your Cambridgeshire property.

Do you work with Cambridge landlords for EICR inspections?

Yes. EICR inspections are a legal requirement for all private rented properties in England, including those in Cambridge. With the large student and private rental market in Cambridge, we carry out EICR inspections for landlords across the city and surrounding towns. We issue clear, compliant reports within two business days and can also carry out any required remedial work.
