Hosie Electrical

What Hosie Electrical does

Hosie Electrical is a privately held electrical contracting company headquartered in Inverurie, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, with a stated founding date of 1961 on its About Us page. The firm provides electrical installation, maintenance, testing, and renewable energy services to domestic, commercial, industrial, and agricultural customers across Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire. Its core service mix includes single and three-phase electrical installations, rewires, lighting, consumer unit upgrades, EICR and PAT testing, fire alarm and emergency lighting maintenance, and 24/7 emergency call-out coverage. A growing share of revenue is being directed into the renewable and energy transition category: MCS-certified solar PV design and installation, battery storage (including the Duracell Energy Dura5 and Dura5+), EV charging (MyEnergi Zappi and Duracell DuraCharger), and electric heating systems from Dimplex and Redwell, increasingly bundled under a smart energy management proposition with time-of-use tariff optimisation. Supporting credentials include SELECT and NICEIC trade association membership, MCS certification, and a Platinum Partner / Platinum Installer relationship with Duracell Energy established in April 2024.

The business operates a sales-led, direct service delivery model with field-based electricians executing project-based work on customer premises. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time installation and project fees, with a smaller recurring stream from testing, inspection, and emergency call-out services. Pricing is unit-based and varies by system size and property requirements; solar PV and battery storage installations are currently VAT-free in the UK. The go-to-market is overwhelmingly local: the company markets through community sponsorship (junior football, running and golf clubs, community awards, foodbank donations), word-of-mouth, and a direct website and phone channel offering free, no-obligation quotes. There is no public revenue, no external funding, and no disclosed headcount, though a 180+ year combined in-house experience base and a 40-year tenure milestone at the individual level indicate a small, stable, long-tenured team operating within a single UK region.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• SSE Energy Solutions: Major UK utility with growing residential solar/battery/EV offering and direct operational presence in NE Scotland. Comparable renewable customer segment with materially larger balance sheet.
• E.ON Next: National energy supplier bundling solar, battery, EV and heat pump installation with energy supply contracts. Comparable integrated offering at much greater scale and brand recognition.
• British Gas (Centrica): National incumbent offering solar, battery, EV chargers and heat pumps under one brand. Comparable product set but vastly greater scale, brand spend and geographic reach than Hosie.
• EDF Renewables UK: Large UK renewable energy operator with growing residential and small-commercial installation footprint. Comparable technology stack (solar, storage, EV) but operates at multi-region scale.

Direct peers

• Joju Solar: UK-wide solar PV, battery storage and EV charging installer with strong community-energy focus. Comparable as a renewable-first installer expanding the same integrated home energy proposition Hosie offers through Duracell.
• Forth Electrical Services: Central Scotland electrical contractor offering solar PV, battery, EV charging and general electrical work. Comparable multi-service regional installer competing for the same renewable upgrade demand.
• Greentech Renewables UK: UK solar and renewable installer operating across multiple regions. Comparable product mix (solar + storage + EV) and competitive threat to regional players like Hosie.
• Campbell & Kennedy: Scottish solar PV and electrical contractor installing domestic and commercial renewable energy systems. Comparable as a Scotland-based installer combining traditional electrical contracting with MCS-certified renewable offerings.
• Birnie Electrical Contractors: Aberdeen-based electrical contractor serving domestic, commercial, and industrial clients across the same North East Scotland geography. Most direct geographic and service-line overlap with Hosie.

Emerging players

• Plug In Solar: Smaller UK residential solar and battery installer competing at the lower end of the same installation category. Partial overlap with Hosie's domestic solar/battery offering.
