Which electricians in Guildford do AI assistants actually recommend?

We put the 14 questions a person in Guildford asks before choosing electrician — cost, specialism, who to use, how to check them — to Claude and ChatGPT, 5 times each, 140 answers in all, and recorded every firm the answers named. 30 firms in Guildford were checked against those answers. 7 of them were named at least once. The rest were not recommended in a single answer.

Firms are ranked by the number of answers that named them, then by how many different questions. The assistants do not give identical answers twice, so a difference of one or two mentions is noise; being named on questions a rival is absent from is not.

The questions we asked

  1. Do I need a certified electrician or can a handyman fit a new consumer unit?
  2. How much does it cost to rewire a 3-bed house in Guildford?
  3. How do I check if an electrician near Guildford is NICEIC registered?
  4. Is it cheaper to hire a local independent electrician near Merrow or go with a big national company?
  5. My fuse box keeps tripping in my flat near Guildford station - what should I do before calling anyone out?
  6. Should I get an annual maintenance contract or just call someone ad hoc when something breaks?
  7. What questions should I ask an independent electrician in Godalming to make sure they're reliable?
  8. What's a fair price for an EICR electrical safety check somewhere around Woking?
  9. I'm renovating a kitchen in Farnham and need new circuits installed - what should I budget and check for?
  10. Which is better for EV charger installation - a local Guildford electrician or a specialist EV installer chain?
  11. Which independent electrician company should I use for a full house rewire near Guildford?
  12. Which local electrician near Aldershot has genuinely good reviews rather than fake ones?
  13. Driving along the A25 between Guildford and Dorking, are there any decent independent electricians based along that route I could call for an emergency?
  14. Which small local firm should I pick over a national electrical company for rewiring an old cottage near Cranleigh?

How this was measured

  • Date: 23 September 2026. This is one day, not a trend; the index is re-measured monthly.
  • Sample: 14 questions × 2 assistants × 5 runs = 140 answers. 30 firms checked.
  • Assistants used: Claude (Anthropic’s Sonnet model, through its API, with web search); ChatGPT (OpenAI’s gpt-4o-mini model, through its API, with web search — not the model inside the ChatGPT app). Answers from these programming interfaces can differ from what the consumer apps show.
  • Counting: a firm is counted when its name appears in an answer. Names are picked out of the answer text automatically, then matched to the firm list.
  • Limits: the assistants vary between runs, so small gaps are noise. Firms that were not named may still be recommended by an assistant or a question we did not ask. National chains are left off the list.

Is your firm on this list?

Every firm above has a private report: which answers named it, which rivals were named instead, whether its website can be read by the assistants, and the three things that would change the result. We work with one electrician in Guildford, and this index is re-measured every month, so the change is visible here.
