Premium electrical installations
across Hertfordshire

Afta Electrical serves the whole of Hertfordshire, covering the major towns of St Albans, Watford, Stevenage, Hertford, Hatfield and Hemel Hempstead, as well as the commuter towns of Bishops Stortford, Hitchin and Welwyn Garden City. Hertfordshire's mix of affluent commuter belt communities, Garden City heritage properties and newer executive estates creates high demand for premium solar PV, battery storage and EV charger installations — all areas where Afta Electrical specialises.

As a county with a large proportion of detached and semi-detached properties with good south or south-west facing roof pitches, Hertfordshire consistently produces strong solar generation yields. Our engineers are experienced with the county's varied architecture — from the period townhouses of St Albans and Hertford to the Ebenezer Howard-designed properties of Welwyn Garden City and the 1970s and 1980s estates across the south of the county. We assess every property individually and will always tell you honestly if solar is or is not a good investment for your specific roof.

Premium installations for Hertfordshire homes

Hertfordshire homeowners expect high standards — and so do we. We use premium-tier inverters, panels and battery systems from established manufacturers, with full certification and workmanship guarantees on every installation. We do not compete on price with budget installers. We compete on quality.

Common Questions

FAQs — Electrical services
in Hertfordshire

Do you install solar on listed buildings or conservation area properties in Hertfordshire?

Solar panels on Grade II listed buildings require Listed Building Consent in addition to — or instead of — standard permitted development rights. Properties in conservation areas may also have restrictions on roof-mounted panels visible from the street. We assess planning status during every survey and advise honestly. In some cases we can recommend discreet in-roof systems or explore ground-mount options for properties where planning permission may be an issue.

Are there EV charger grants available for Hertfordshire homeowners?

The Government's Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS) is no longer open to homeowners in single-unit properties. However, OZEV grants are still available for flat owners, renters and businesses. We advise on current grant availability during every EV charger enquiry. Commercial EV charger installations may qualify for OZEV Workplace Charging Scheme funding — contact us for details.

Is Hertfordshire suitable for solar panels given its location?

Yes. Hertfordshire receives very similar solar irradiance to the rest of the south-east of England, which is among the best in the UK. A south-facing 4kW solar system in Hertfordshire will typically generate around 3,400–3,800 kWh per year — enough to cover a significant proportion of an average household's electricity consumption. We provide site-specific generation estimates during every free survey.

How much does a consumer unit replacement cost in Hertfordshire?

Consumer unit replacement pricing is the same across all our coverage areas, including Hertfordshire. An entry-level BG board starts from £595, a standard FuseBox from £695 and a premium Hager board from £795. The final price depends on the number of ways required, cable route lengths and the current condition of your existing consumer unit. See our consumer unit pricing page for a full breakdown.

Do you cover Bishops Stortford and other towns near the Essex border?

Yes. Bishops Stortford and all towns on or near the Hertfordshire-Essex border are fully within our service area. We regularly work in Bishops Stortford, Sawbridgeworth, Ware and Hoddesdon. Our operations are based in Witham, Essex, which puts us well-placed to serve the entire east of Hertfordshire quickly and efficiently.
