I had solar and batteries fit end of June and I’m over the moon with the results. Dave and his team talked and walked me through every stage of the job and their professionalism and work was 2nd to none. I would highly recommend them as I already have to numerous people

David installed additional solar PV and battery to work in conjunction with our existing FIT installation. He managed with ease the approvals process with Northern Powergrid. Installation was thorough, clean and tidy. The system was commisioned, up and running with no issues. Finally, David sent us a comprehensive pack of certificates, registrations, insurance documents etc. A professional job from someone who is clearly interested in the work they do and communicating effectively with their clients.

David helped me put panels on my roof and I simply cannot fault him for his knowledge, diligence and communication. He also managed to use a system where the panels were recessed into a stone roof. Frankly, he's the sort of tradesperson we all dream of finding! He has gone on to help one of my colleagues do the same and we are both very happy. David offers GivEnergy products mainly, and after 6 months of using it, the app is stable and provides excellent data. It's clear that David loves solar systems and even advised me when I added additional panels. Pricing wise, I had a lower quote from one of these companies that install three jobs a week and get national contracts with local authorities but for the extra 5-10% you get someone to deal with and I know he'll be around if I ever have any problems.

David upgraded the efficiency of our homes existing solar panel electricity generation system by installing storage batteries. He provided a great service at a very competitive price . He very much listened to what we wanted to achieve and came up with good solutions while keeping us fully involved in the process. On the evidence of his work for us we have have no hesitation in recommending him.

I highly recommend David. As a woman living on my own I always feel vulnerable when it comes to tradesmen - that I am an easy target and I am going to get exploited! David is one of the rare few who is genuine, helpful and absolutely trustworthy. I’m so pleased I connected with him and he did a marvellous job installing an EV charger even though my electric meter is in the middle of my house which made it very difficult! He did a great job hiding all the cabling leaving everything neat and tidy and like he was never even here! A true gem, you will not be disappointed using David for any/all of your electrical needs! 10/10 👍

I had not heard of DWES and tried the company out based on the fact that it is NAPIT registered. This was the best decision I could have made! David came for a free call out to qoute and gave great advice - much better than the fool that I had visit beforehand. David then came back promptly when the work was requested - he worked relentlesly and very persistantly to try and fault find for an electrical issue affecting lights. He was lovely to speak with, polite, friendly and had a lot of professional knowledge - he knew what he was doing unlike the muppet I had before. He was very keen to find the problem and was not adding to the price as he went along - the price he agreed was the price he asked for in the end - this was very kind and much appreciated. David provided a great solution to the problem when eventually the fault could not be found and, managed to resolve the problem anyway both efficiently and, within the reasonable price he originally qouted. The amount of effort he put in was excellent! Thank you David - I'm very grateful. I would highly recommend DWES. Keep up the great work! Excellent service.

Fantastic service, David is really knowledgable and has top class attention to detail on his installations. He has completed a full wiring of an outbuilding as well as fitting a new EV car charger and consumer unit. Always responds promptly to any contact made. Would highly recommend to anyone.

David carried out a full rewire of our house which we were renovating. His advice was invaluable as was his patience and flexibility coping with several changes of mind to get the right result! He also has great ideas aesthetically to help make fittings not only work but look right where they are sited. Subsequently we had him fit an EV charging point. His work was priced fairly and always completed to the highest standards. We would have no hesitation in recommending him and would certainly use him again.

I would highly recommend David. He recently worked on our house extension, did a brilliant job and ensured it was done to a high standard. He was really reliable which is hard to come by these days and got the job done as soon as he could. We’re really pleased with the work and would be keen to ask him to do further work on our house.

Top quality service. Dave fitted my Ohme Pro home EV charger and was really helpful and knowledgable throughout. He helped with advice on sourcing the product, along with a clean and tidy installation. I would highly recommend, and will be going back to Dave for solar/battery options in future.

Decided to book David instead of using the EV company installation service, partly because I was worried they wouldn't complete the installation due to things not being in place. Glad I did as we needed to sort a few things ahead of fitting the charging cable. David responded quickly, gave a better quote and delivered a great service, completing all the necessary works in one day. It wasn't the easiest of installations given where our electricity point was located in the middle of the house. Would thoroughly recommend for EV charging installation or solar panel installation

Great installation, very clean and tidy. The APP for monitoring charge levels and solar generation is good. And I’m saving a lot off my monthly bills

Dave was fantastic. Great service and loving the energy savings with our new solar panels . He showed good knowledge of up to date regulations and ensured safety was his priority- so important to me with 2 children. He was polite and professional. The work was completed in a timely manner and to a very high standard. Highly recommend and will definitely be using him for any other electric work.
