Welcome to Cross Electrical

Cross Electrical is a company based in the East Midlands that specialises in electrical trace heating systems that incorporate a thermal insulation system. The company was established in 1971 to service the heavy fuel oil industry, and since then it has become one of the market leaders in this type of engineering.

Our engineers are all fully qualified with lots of experience in installing these systems. We also employ service and repair technicians who are given thorough training and provided with test and fault location equipment.
Although we are based in the East Midlands, our engineers provide a service anywhere across the country, as well as internationally, for all applications within industry and commerce.

Cross Electrical have expertise in bitumen trace heating systems and our service includes the processing of Bitumen in its liquid state. When dealing with bitumen we tend to install mineral cables because the surface temperatures of these cables can bear the high temperatures of bitumen which ranges from 150°C to over 200°C.


We sell snow- and ice-melting systems

Another product that we specialise in is snow and ice melting systems. Snow can be a huge inconvenience for people who need to walk to work, or particularly in areas around stairs where a slippery floor can cause accidents. Our systems can be situated directly under asphalt, embedded in concrete, or integrated into stairways. They are temperature-controlled so that ice or snow on top of them is immediately melted. Likewise, our roof gutter heating systems are implemented to prevent icicles forming and potentially harming people, downpipes from bursting, and water penetrating through to buildings.


Frost Protection Systems limit damage

Our frost protection system is designed with the aim of preventing frozen pipes from forming and cracking, which in turn creates long-term damage to buildings. The XEL range of Self-Regulating Heating Cables can be used on plastic or metal pipes. They cannot overheat because they are self-regulating but they are also good for the environment because they only heat up when they need to in order to prevent freezing.

If you have any questions about our company or what we do then please feel free to contact us, we look forward to hearing from you.
