Frequently asked questions
Does Carter Electrical offer Insurance Backed Guarantees (IBG)?
An IBG is essential — it covers the workmanship warranty if the installer ceases trading. MCS-certified installers usually offer IBG via the MCS scheme. Confirm Carter Electrical provides an IBG certificate at handover; don't accept a workmanship guarantee that's only as good as the installer's continued existence.
How does Carter Electrical's quote process work?
Carter Electrical typically begins with an initial enquiry via phone or website, followed by a desktop assessment and on-site survey. Ask whether the quote is fixed-price or estimate-only, and confirm what's included (scaffolding, DNO application, commissioning).
Are there other solar installers in Reading I should compare?
Yes — three quotes is the UK standard. Use EnergyRanked's Reading filter to compare Carter Electrical against other local installers on rating, review count, and accreditation. Don't just chase the cheapest quote; compare warranty terms and brand specs side-by-side.
Is Carter Electrical registered with RECC or HIES?
RECC (Renewable Energy Consumer Code) and HIES (Home Insulation & Energy Systems) are the two main consumer protection codes for UK renewables installers. Check the RECC register at recc.org.uk or HIES register at hies.co.uk by company name. Membership of either gives you escalation routes and deposit protection.
What does Carter Electrical's website tell me?
Carter Electrical's website (carter-electrical.co.uk) typically lists their service categories, recent case studies, panel and inverter brands they install, and contact details. Cross-check against their Google listing — discrepancies between the two are a useful sanity check.
