Motor installation and repair price
Single and three phase motor installation and repair starts at £70 per hour. That buys time on site to inspect the motor, isolate the supply, fit a replacement or carry out a repair, then test the circuit before we leave.

Who needs motor installation and repair
People book this work when a pump, fan, compressor or machine motor will not start, trips the supply, or runs hot. We work on single phase motors in houses and small shops, and three phase motors in workshops, plant rooms and factories.
- A house pump or fan motor that has failedHomeowners call when a boiler pump, shower pump, garage door motor or extractor will not run. We isolate the circuit, check the motor and starter, then fit a matching replacement or repair the windings and bearings.
- A workshop or factory motor that has burnt outJoiners, garages and factories book us when a three phase motor on a saw, compressor, hoist or conveyor has failed. We lock off the supply, check the starter and overload, then install a new motor or repair the existing one.
- A new machine that needs a motor fittedLandlords and business owners ask us to wire a new pump, fan or three phase motor onto an existing board. We size the cable, fit the isolator and starter, then test the run before we hand the machine back.
- A motor that trips or runs hotA motor that trips the fuse board or smells of burning needs finding before it damages the machine. We test current, insulation and rotation, then repair or replace the motor so the plant can run again.
What happens on the day
MX2 Electrical manages the motor work from the written price through to testing.
- Arrival and isolationWe arrive, find the motor and lock off the supply. We then check nameplate data, starter type and how the machine is coupled.
- Fit or repair the motorWe remove the failed motor or open it for repair. A replacement is aligned, coupled and wired to the starter. A repair is completed on the windings, bearings or terminals.
- Test and certificateWe run the motor, check rotation, current and temperature, then restore the covers. You receive a certificate when the work is notifiable.
