Your Local Electrician in Portlaoise
Portlaoise is the county town of Laois and the largest town in the county — a busy commuter base on the M7 with a real mix of buildings. Around the town centre you have established streets and commercial premises, while estates such as Kilminchy, Rathevan and Esker Hills continue to grow, and the industrial estates on the edge of town keep their own steady demand for electrical work.
Maher Electrical is based just up the road in Mountmellick, so Portlaoise is one of our core service towns. We handle everything from a light fitting or socket addition to full house rewires, fuse board upgrades, commercial fit-outs, solar PV and EV charger installation — all tested and certified. As ECSSA registered, SEAI approved contractors, we also look after the paperwork, including installations like our recent solar PV, battery and Zappi project in Portlaoise.
