Specialist off-grid energy systems and generator installation for remote properties, crofts, estates and rural sites across the Highlands, north of Scotland and the islands.
Usherwood Mechanical & Electrical specialises in off-grid energy systems and generator installation for remote and rural properties across the Highlands, north of Scotland and the islands. Unlike many specialists, we're also fully qualified for general electrical work — one contractor for everything.
Remote Highland and island properties need a different approach to energy. We design and install systems that work reliably without grid dependency — and keep them running.

Off-grid work in remote locations demands a different standard — reliable systems, proper certification, and an engineer who understands what's at stake when there's no grid to fall back on.
All work is certified and compliant. You get the paperwork, the sign-off, and the peace of mind — whether it's building regulations, insurance, a planning condition or a commercial handover.
We don't do token off-grid jobs. We've designed and installed Victron-based systems, wired remote properties with no grid connection, and commissioned primary generators for sites that depend on them entirely.
Remote Highland locations are exactly the kind of work we're here for. We'll travel for the right project — give us a call and we'll have a straight conversation about whether it makes sense.
Straight answers before you get in touch.
Yes — remote Highland properties, the Western Isles, Orkney, Shetland and other island and rural sites are exactly the kind of work we take on. Off-grid installs and generator projects are worth a conversation wherever they are. Call us and we'll be straight with you about whether it works.
Yes. We can supply, install and commission generators, or install equipment you've already sourced. Either way it gets done properly and certified.
It means the work is independently assessed, certified and legally compliant. You get a certificate of completion that satisfies building regulations, insurers and mortgage lenders — something an unaccredited contractor can't provide.
Yes. Remote generators in particular need regular attention to stay reliable. We're happy to discuss ongoing service arrangements — especially important when you're depending on the system entirely.
