Category: Marine Electrical Services

Marine electrical systems are the lifeblood of a modern vessel, powering critical safety equipment, navigation, and the complex ignition systems of onboard heating and cooking appliances. Because boats operate in a high-vibration, corrosive environment, electrical installations must be engineered to prevent galvanic corrosion, voltage drop, and the fire risks associated with substandard DC wiring. At Marine Heating Solutions, we provide specialised engineering support to ensure your 12V, 24V, and 230V systems are robust, safe, and fully integrated for life on the water.

The Specialist Difference: Efficiency-Led Engineering

Our service model focuses on technical precision and the use of marine-grade, multi-strand tinned copper cabling to ensure maximum conductivity and longevity. By utilising digital diagnostic tools to analyse battery health and charging profiles, we eliminate the inefficiencies that lead to premature battery failure and intermittent appliance shutdowns.

• Transparent & Competitive Rates: We maintain a policy of clear and fair pricing, ensuring expert marine electrical diagnostics are accessible to every boat owner.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Our engineering-led approach targets the root cause of electrical issues, such as poor grounding or undersized cabling, preventing the cycle of frequent component replacements.
• Long-Term Value: We design and install scalable power systems that accommodate modern lithium upgrades and solar integration, future-proofing your vessel’s energy independence.

Integrated Power & Appliance Support

An optimised electrical system is essential for the reliable operation of boat heating and cooking units. We specialise in the electrical integration of high-draw appliances, ensuring that technical diesel heating systems have the necessary peak current for glow-plug ignition. To understand the importance of circuit protection and battery management, read our guide on how to service a diesel heater to see how voltage stability affects appliance health.

Safety/Regulatory: BSS and Canal & River Trust (CRT)

Compliance with the Boat Safety Scheme (BSS) is mandatory to secure your Canal & River Trust (CRT) license. Our electrical work adheres to strict BSS standards regarding cable clipping, fuse ratings, and battery storage safety to protect your crew and your vessel from electrical fire risks.

Our recognised status with the Canal & River Trust ensures our installations meet the environmental and safety regulations of the inland waterways. We provide the technical documentation necessary to prove your electrical systems meet the required ISO standards for marine AC and DC systems.

Supporting Infrastructure

Electrical reliability is the foundation for all other onboard services. We provide specialised support for marine plumbing systems, ensuring pumps and sensors are correctly wired, as well as maintaining the electrical components of Surejust calorifiers and immersion heaters.
