Every home deserves safe, efficient electrics that meet modern standards. At DRW, we deliver professional residential electrical services across the Borders, supporting households in towns, villages, and rural communities. Our qualified residential electrician team works on everything from historic stone cottages to new-build developments, tailoring each project to the property’s needs.
Whether it’s a simple repair, a complete rewire, or the installation of smart technology, our goal is to keep your home safe, compliant, and reliable for years to come. With local knowledge and proven expertise, we are trusted by Borders homeowners who value quality workmanship and dependable support.





Homes across the Borders vary widely - from centuries-old stone houses to modern family estates. Our domestic electrical services are designed to adapt to this variety, ensuring every installation is practical, safe, and built for long-term reliability. We begin with a thorough survey of your property to identify risks, capacity requirements, and opportunities for efficiency before carrying out the work.
New build properties need a system that not only meets today’s demands but also supports future technologies. Our electricians design and install electrical systems for Borders developments that comply with the latest standards while leaving room for smart technology, renewable integration, and EV charging. By getting the installation right from the start, you avoid costly upgrades later.
Many historic homes in the Borders still rely on outdated wiring. These systems can pose safety risks and are often unable to cope with modern energy loads. Our rewiring service replaces unsafe systems with modern wiring, giving your home the ability to support everything from electric heating to high-power appliances. Rewiring also helps to preserve the value of older properties while ensuring safety and compliance.
With the Borders’ cold winters, heating is essential. We install efficient electric heating systems that provide consistent warmth without excessive running costs. Whether replacing outdated storage heaters or fitting a new heating solution in a renovation project, our installations balance comfort with efficiency, helping to lower bills while improving reliability.
Smart homes are no longer just a luxury. Many Borders households are now upgrading with smart systems that allow full control of lighting, heating, and security via apps or voice commands. We install tailored smart systems that suit your property and lifestyle, improving both convenience and efficiency.
Lighting has a significant impact on how your home feels and functions. We design LED lighting systems that reduce energy use while creating atmosphere and style in every room. For Borders properties, our LED solutions provide long-term savings while enhancing living spaces.
As more Borders residents switch to electric vehicles, demand for home charging is rising. We install safe and reliable EV chargers that integrate with your electrical system, ensuring your vehicle is ready when you are. Our team ensures installations are future-proofed and compliant with regulations.
Damp and condensation are common issues in older Borders homes. We install ventilation systems that improve air circulation, reduce moisture, and protect your property from mould and long-term structural damage. These solutions also improve indoor air quality for healthier living.
Good lighting outside the home is key for safety and security. We design, install, and maintain external lighting systems for Borders households and communities. From driveway security lights to larger communal projects, our lighting solutions are built for performance and energy efficiency.






Preventative care is just as important as installation. With our residential electrical maintenance services, Borders homeowners can ensure their systems remain safe, compliant, and efficient. We provide annual checks, emergency callouts, and long-term servicing to give households peace of mind.
