This week, Brett has been busy in Branston, installing power and Quinetic dimmable LED strip lighting in a garden office. The result looks fantastic and adds a modern, stylish finish to the space. Quinetic lighting is a brilliant solution for anyone looking for wire-free control without the mess or disruption of chasing out walls or making good afterwards. The technology works through kinetic energy, meaning switches can be placed almost anywhere without the need for cabling. It is a smart, flexible option for both new projects and existing spaces where wiring might otherwise be difficult. This installation has been a great example of how clever technology can combine practicality with style. Take a look at the video to see the Quinetic system in action. If you are looking to improve your home lighting or need power installed for a garden room or office, we would be happy to help. Telephone: 07872 182672Email: office.impelectrical@gmail.com

On Friday, we had the honour and privilege of attending the Lincolnshire Marketing Awards 2025. We were shortlisted for the Best Family-Owned Business category and arrived with a sense of excitement, but trepidation knowing a win would be a huge ask. We were proud to come 3rd 🥉 out of the five businesses shortlisted, and it was amazing to have the opportunity to speak to other small business owners, learn from their experience and hopefully take away some things we can do to keep improving as we grow as a company. None of us come from a business background and we’re all just learning as we go. A lot of what we offer is purely based on how we would like to be treated as customers, rather than any fancy marketing ploys or extensive business strategies. We do what we do because we love it and because we hope to grow a business we can be proud of and pass on to the next generation. In the meantime, we’ll keep going and maybe one day we’ll hit the top spot… 🤩 🏆🤞

How we’ve helped our customers this week… It has been another busy and positive week for the team at Imp Electrical. Here is a look at what we have been working on. EV Charger Install This week we installed a Simpson and Partners 7kW EV charger. It is a high quality piece of kit with a customisable front that can be matched to suit the look of your property for a smart finish. It is also solar compatible, which makes it ideal for anyone looking to futureproof their home energy setup. This installation was a last minute addition to the diary and we were pleased to be able to help someone who needed a quick turnaround. The best part was seeing their positive Google Review afterwards. NAPIT Annual Assessment On Friday we completed our annual NAPIT assessment. This ensures we continue to meet the standards required across domestic electrical work, solar and battery installations, and electrical projects outside of domestic settings. The assessment includes a thorough review of paperwork, a site visit to check recent work, and detailed conversations about regulations and best practice. It is always a challenging day, but it is also a great opportunity to reflect on how we can continue to improve our services for customers. We left with some useful ideas that we are looking forward to putting into practice. Lincolnshire Marketing Awards We are also proud to share that Imp Electrical has been shortlisted at the Lincolnshire Marketing Awards 2025. It is fantastic to have our efforts recognised and we are looking forward to celebrating with other businesses later this week. Customer Feedback We always appreciate hearing from our customers. Here are two recent reviews that stood out: Team Win To finish the week, the team managed to make some time to head to the driving range after work on Friday. A small but enjoyable reward after a productive week. At Imp Electrical we are a friendly, professional and tidy team who take pride in delivering the highest quality of work across Lincolnshire.

We’ve just completed another EV charger installation in Sleaford – this time it was the brand-new Zappi Glo, and we’re seriously impressed. The Zappi Glo is solar compatible and works brilliantly with popular smart tariffs like Octopus Go’s intelligent rates and Ovo’s Charge Anytime. Whether you’re charging with sunshine or taking advantage of off-peak rates, it’s a smart and flexible choice. But that’s not the only upgrade we’re shouting about… ⚡️ Say hello to our new electric van! ⚡️As a renewable-focused company, we’re committed to walking the talk. Our new EV helps reduce our carbon footprint and aligns perfectly with the kind of future we’re helping customers build every day. Need an EV charger? Let’s talk. We’re not tied to any single manufacturer – instead, we take the time to recommend the right charger for your setup, budget, and goals. From Zappi and Hypervolt to Ohme and Wallbox, we’ve installed them all. Whether you’ve got solar panels or are have bought an electric vehicle, we’re here to help. 👉 Get in touch for a no-pressure chat about your options.

We’ve just wrapped up another solar installation in Sleaford, and it’s a beauty! 🙌 Our client chose a high-spec setup built for performance and futureproofing, including: To complete the system, they also opted for a SigEnergy EV charger, ensuring seamless compatibility with their solar setup. Keeping everything within the same ecosystem means easier control, better efficiency, and a much smoother user experience. Whether you’re monitoring solar generation, storing power, or charging your vehicle – it all just works. 👌😎 ⚡ What does the system include? 🔋 What will this setup do for the customer? Lower energy bills by generating and using their own electricity. Store power for later, including during blackouts (if backup is enabled). Charge their EV efficiently, potentially for free using solar power. Gain full control of their energy use via one ecosystem, likely managed through a single app. Looking to upgrade your energy setup? Get in touch with our friendly team to see what we can do for your home or business.

Here’s a recent example of a small electrical upgrade we carried out for a client who wanted some extra sockets added to their existing circuit, not always straightforward when you’ve got chipboard floors to work around! To make it happen cleanly and safely, we used an RMEG drill to create two precise access points, allowing us to run the new cabling without causing unnecessary damage or disruption. Everything’s been neatly wired in and tested, and the client was really pleased with the result. If you’re thinking about adding more sockets but aren’t sure how it’ll work with your current setup, we’re always happy to advise, just drop us a message!

Here’s another example of a garden room project we’ve undertaken this spring, with a real focus on feature lighting. We think it looks great! 💡😍 This was for a client in Branston. We’ve also used Quinetic wireless switches, which are a great solution if you don’t want the mess and redecoration you often get when putting new cables in place. Plus, in this instance, it saved running a cable across the garden and the groundworks that would have entailed. They’re a great bit of kit, and we find we’re installing more of these all the time.
