As it is getting colder as we head into Winter it is going to get dark earlier so you switch on the lights and heat pump or light the fire.

This is a good time to think about upgrading those old and tired downlight's to new, fresh energy efficient and a lot brighter LED downlights to brighten up your house and modernise your lighting.

To think only if I could get the heat from the lounge Fire to the bedroom's, Elusion Electrical can install a heat transfer kit.
At Elusion Electrical we can freshen up you old heat pump with a new one or if you don't have a heat pump we can install one for you.

At Elusion Electrical we do domestic, residential and commercial electrical work along with the LED lighting and heat pumps. We cater for all your electrical needs.
