Electricians, solar and EV charging in Cramlington

Cramlington is one of Northumberland's newer planned towns and its modern housing stock makes it particularly well-suited to solar and battery storage installations.

Local context

Why Cramlington matters for electrical and renewable

Cramlington has the highest proportion of post-1960s modern housing of any town in our service area — well over 80% of dwellings are 1960s or later, which is unusual outside the planned new towns of Washington and Newton Aycliffe. The practical consequence: roofs are large, aspects are predominantly south-facing (by design), consumer units are modern, EPC ratings are above the regional average, and almost no conservation constraints apply. Cramlington installs are some of the simplest jobs we do.

Paying next to nothing for electricity now

“Had solar panels and a battery fitted in February. By summer we were barely using any grid electricity at all. The monitoring app is great — you can see exactly what the panels are generating and where the energy is going.”

David R.

Sunderland

Smooth install, paperwork done properly

“North 85 surveyed the roof carefully (some installers had quoted me without measuring) and the layout they came back with put 12 panels where I expected 10. Net export to Octopus Outgoing is paying back faster than I had budgeted for.”

Great communication start to finish

“From the quote through to the final commissioning, the North 85 team kept me in the loop. Scaffold up Monday, install Tuesday-Wednesday, commissioned Thursday. Even helped me register for the SEG tariff. Highly recommend.”
