Your Local Electrician in Portarlington
Portarlington straddles the Laois–Offaly border and has long been one of the region's most popular commuter towns, with strong rail links towards Dublin, Kildare and the west. That shows in the property mix: period town houses around the centre, modern estates spreading out on both sides of the county line, a busy industrial estate, and a steady stream of new builds and renovations.
Maher Electrical covers both sides of the border from our Mountmellick base. We rewire and upgrade older town houses, handle first and second fix wiring in new estates, look after shops, offices and industrial units, and install solar PV, battery storage and EV chargers — a natural fit for commuters who want the car charged on home-generated power. Every job is tested and certified, and as an ECSSA registered, SEAI approved contractor, the paperwork is handled properly from start to finish.

Do you cover both sides of Portarlington, Laois and Offaly?
Yes. We work throughout Portarlington — on the Laois side and the Offaly side — including Killenard, Emo, The Heath, Monasterevin, Ballybrittas and Walsh Island. See our Co. Laois and Co. Offaly services for the wider area.

Do you install solar PV in Portarlington?
Yes. We are SEAI registered and install solar PV and battery storage for homes, farms and businesses around Portarlington. We survey the property, confirm the current grant position and handle the SEAI paperwork as part of your quote. EV charging can be added to make the most of the generation. See our solar PV service for details.
Can you rewire or upgrade the electrics in an older Portarlington house?
Yes. Period town houses often have dated wiring, old fuse boards or too few sockets. We rewire and upgrade properties while protecting original features, fit modern consumer units with RCD/RCBO protection, and issue certification when the work is complete. See our rewiring and fuse board services.
Do you install EV chargers for Portarlington commuters?
Yes. We install and commission home and workplace charge points, including 7kW Zappi chargers that can run on surplus solar power — ideal for commuters who park up in the evening. We can advise on the SEAI home charger grant during your quote. See our EV charger service.
