The service list spans oven, stove and hob repairs, hot water repairs, kitchen electrical work, outside lighting, data cabling, new house wiring, home automation, switchboard upgrades, renovations, EV charger installation, and heat pump installation.

Keeping Homes Warm with Heat Pumps

Heat pump work is a particular focus for Illuminex, covering both new installations and upgrades to existing systems. For homeowners after a new system, the team handles everything from recommending the right heat pump to professional installation, working with brands including Gree and Mitsubishi. For those with an existing system, Illuminex offers heat pump retrofitting, helping customers choose the best heat pump technology to suit their needs and integrating it into their current setup — a move that can enhance energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, and improve overall comfort.

EV Chargers and House Rewiring

As electric vehicles become more common, Illuminex also offers EV charger installation, helping homeowners set up reliable charging at home. For older properties, the team's house rewiring service — sometimes carried out in stages across a renovation — ensures homes are brought up to a safe, modern standard, with customers noting the team's knowledge and skill throughout multi-stage projects.

What Customers Say

Customer reviews consistently praise Andy and the wider Illuminex team for punctuality, professionalism, and tidy, high-quality work. Reviewers specifically mention electrical panel replacements, EV charger installations, outlet and switch relocations, kitchen renovation wiring, and induction cooktop installations, with several customers noting they've used or plan to use Illuminex again for future electrical needs. One customer highlighted how the team provided clear options and costs at each stage of a house renovation, while another praised a Sunday follow-up call to organise an early Monday morning installation — a small but telling example of the company's responsiveness.
