We appreciate your continued trust and support. I wanted to personally update you on some important changes happening within our company.

At Hector's Electrics, we’ve always been dedicated to delivering exceptional customer service, especially in the growing field of renewable energy. Over the years, we've had the pleasure of helping many of our customers adopt the latest renewable technologies, from solar panels to EV chargers. This journey has inspired us to focus more closely on the renewables side of our business.

To reflect this shift, our company has been renamed MYE Renewables Ltd (Make Your Energy). This new name highlights our commitment to providing expert services in renewable energy. While we won’t be taking on new general electrical projects going forward, rest assured that our existing customers can still rely on us for any urgent needs.

Additionally, if you’re interested in solar panels, battery storage, or EV chargers, we’d be more than happy to assist you with our expert advice and services.

Keep an eye out for our new website, which will be launching soon—we're excited to share all the innovative solutions we have in store for you!

Thank you for being a part of our journey. We look forward to continuing to power your future with clean, sustainable energy.

Chris Hector - Electrician in Derby

From the owner

I'm a NICEIC registered Approved Contractor.  Apart from solving your electrical problems I like to raise money for the British Heart foundation.  Last year I completed the London to Reading and London to Brighton cycle events.  I also finished the North Derbyshire Cycle Sportive.  In my past I competed in Rifle Shooting at 5 Commonwealth Games and won 12 medals, four of each colour.  If you would like to put one on just ask and I'll bring it with me.

More about us

I'm obviously the brains behind the business and organise all the paperwork and keep the books straight.  In my past I ran the London Marathon in 4 hours 14 minutes.  I met Chris at the Manchester Commonwealth Games in 2002, where I was competing in Pistol Shooting.  Outside of our business I spend my time bringing up our daughter Megan and teaching swimming for a couple of local schools at the Repton Swimming pool.
