Belfast — Northern Ireland
Solar, storage and EV charging for the city we work from.
Glow is based in Belfast — every survey, install and call-out in the city is home ground. From Victorian terraces off the Ormeau Road to new builds on the edge of Dundonald, we design around the roof in front of us, not a template.
Local knowledge
How we work in Belfast.
Belfast housing is a mix like nowhere else in NI — tight terraced streets in the south and west, 1930s semis across the east, apartments filling the centre and new estates pushing every boundary. That variety is why we survey properly before quoting: black-on-black panels sitting tight to the slate on older streets, larger arrays across suburban hips and gables, and battery systems sized around how city households actually use power — evening-heavy, EV on the drive, oil or gas heating that still needs electricity to run.
The city also keeps our electrical side busy. Belfast's rental stock needs EICRs and consumer unit upgrades to keep certificates current, and landlords get portfolio rates with remedials handled by the same team. For businesses — from Boucher Road units to city-centre offices — workplace EV charging and commercial rooftop solar are quoted with the NIE Networks paperwork handled in-house.

NICEIC approved
Electricians in Belfast.
Solar may lead the brand, but NICEIC electrical work is the foundation the company was built on — and Belfast keeps that side flat out. Rental stock across the city needs EICRs to keep certificates current, and we run scheduled programmes for landlords and letting agents: testing booked around tenants, remedials priced from the same visit, digital certificates filed the day the work's done. EICRs start from £180 +VAT.
Older terraces and semis bring the classic jobs — consumer unit replacement where boards predate RCD protection, fault-finding when a circuit starts tripping for no obvious reason, extra circuits for garden offices and outbuildings, and smart heating that cuts oil and gas spend. Whatever the job, it's certified properly and documented against the property for the next owner, tenant or upgrade.
Belfast questions
Asked locally, answered straight.
How quickly can you survey a Belfast property?
Usually within the week — we're based in the city, so Belfast surveys slot around nearby jobs. Urgent electrical faults are typically same-day.
Can you install solar on a terraced house in Belfast?
Yes — terraces are a big share of our city work. Access and scaffolding are planned street by street, and slim all-black panels keep the look right on older roofs.
Which parts of Belfast do you cover?
All of it — every BT postcode, from Cave Hill to Carryduff and Stormont to the Shankill. East Belfast and Castlereagh are our immediate doorstep, so response there is fastest of all.
How much does an EICR cost in Belfast?
From £180 +VAT for a typical home, with the digital certificate issued to you or your letting agent as soon as testing's complete. Landlords with multiple properties get scheduled programme rates.
Can you replace an old fuse box in a Belfast terrace?
Yes — consumer unit replacement in older terraces is one of our most common city jobs. You get modern RCD protection, a tidy labelled board and certification in a single visit.
