Electrical Shop in Dundee — Real Advice, Real People
Colin M Smith is Dundee’s independent electrical shop — stocking televisions, cooking appliances, audio, and major household electricals, with knowledgeable staff on hand and a local delivery and installation team that has served the city since 1970.
An electrical shop where the staff actually know the stock
Walk into a national chain and you will find plenty of products on shelves. What you often will not find is someone who can tell you why one television suits your room better than another, or which cooker will work in your specific kitchen. We can.
Years as an independent electrical shop
Trading since 1970, we have helped generations of Dundee and Angus households choose the right product for their home. Our experience across every category means we know the products and the questions to ask before recommending one.
1See it in person — not just on a screen
We display cooking appliances and televisions in our Hawkhill Court showroom. Screen size, oven cavity depth, and build quality are all much easier to judge when you are standing in front of the actual product — not looking at a photo.

4Cookers, ovens & hobs for every Dundee kitchen
From straightforward freestanding electric cookers to built-in ovens, ceramic hobs, and range cookers — we carry a wide selection and the expertise to help you choose the right setup for your kitchen layout, fuel type, and cooking habits.
Freestanding Electric, Gas & Dual Fuel Cookers
The most popular choice for Dundee homes — freestanding cookers slot between cabinets and require no major kitchen modifications to install. We stock electric, gas, dual fuel and range cooker options across a range of widths and budgets.
Not sure which fuel type suits your home? Gas gives more immediate heat control on the hob; electric fan ovens tend to be more consistent for baking. Dual fuel gives you both. Come in and we will talk it through.
Built-In Ovens, Hobs, Cooker Hoods & Microwaves
If you are fitting a new kitchen or replacing individual built-in appliances, our range covers electric ovens, ceramic and gas hobs, cooker hoods, microwave ovens, and warming drawers. Built-in appliances integrate into cabinetry for a cleaner finish and allow you to position the oven at a comfortable working height.
We can advise on cabinet compatibility and dimensions before you buy — call us or visit the showroom to compare options.
Televisions & audio — worth seeing before you decide
Buying a television online means choosing from a spec sheet and a thumbnail. Visiting our Dundee showroom means you can stand in front of the actual screen, compare sizes in real conditions, and ask someone who knows the difference between the models on display.
Televisions on display in our showroom
We display a selection of televisions at Hawkhill Court so you can compare screen sizes and picture quality in person. Screen size is one of the most commonly misjudged specs when buying online — standing in front of a 55-inch next to a 65-inch makes the choice much clearer. Our staff can advise on panel type, smart platform, and the best placement for your room.
Audio, soundbars & home cinema
Our audio range covers soundbars, hi-fi systems, wireless speakers including Sonos, headphones, turntables and radios. Whether you are looking for better sound from your television, a multi-room audio setup, or a quality hi-fi system, our team can advise on what will work in your space and at your budget. Sonos installation is available for multi-product setups — ask in store.
TV installation across Dundee
Our TV installation service covers stand assembly, connection of existing equipment (Sky, digital recorders), full channel tuning, Wi-Fi configuration, and a walkthrough of the set before we leave. Wall-mounted TV installation is also available. See our installation page for full details and pricing on all TV and audio installation options.
Brands include Samsung, LG, Panasonic, Sony, Sonos & more · Dundee showroom · Professional TV installation available

What a Dundee electrical shop gives you that online cannot
Online retailers have wide stock and fast delivery. What they cannot give you is a conversation with someone who has sold and installed these products for decades, and who will still pick up the phone if something goes wrong.
You see what you are buying. For a television, the gap between 55 inches and 65 inches is hard to judge from a product photo. For a range cooker, depth, door weight and cavity size matter in practice. Our showroom at Hawkhill Court exists so you can make those judgements in person before you commit.
One number for everything. If something is wrong with your delivery, your installation, or your appliance — you call 01382 224488. You speak to the same shop that sold you the product. There is no national call centre, no routing between departments, no waiting days for a callback.
Euronics membership gives you the range. As a Euronics member, Colin M Smith has access to competitive buying power across a wide range of brands. You are not paying a premium for shopping independently — our prices are competitive, and we will do our best to price match if you find better locally.
Extended warranty options available. We offer extended warranty cover on qualifying purchases, giving you protection beyond the standard manufacturer terms. Worth considering for televisions, range cookers and larger appliances where out-of-warranty repair costs can be significant. Ask in store when you purchase.
Electrical shop FAQs
Questions we hear regularly in store and on the phone. If yours is not here, call 01382 224488 and we will be happy to help.
Can I see televisions and cookers in person before buying?
Yes — our Hawkhill Court showroom in Dundee has a selection of televisions and cooking appliances on display. No appointment is needed. Come in during normal opening hours, look at the products in person, and speak to our staff if you have questions. We are at Unit C, Hawkhill Court, Mid Wynd, DD1 4JG — call 01382 224488 if you would like to confirm current display stock before travelling.
What size television should I buy for my living room?
A useful starting point: for a viewing distance of around 2 metres, 43–50 inches tends to work well. At 2.5–3 metres, 55–65 inches becomes more comfortable. Beyond 3 metres, 65 inches and above gives the best experience. That said, room layout, furniture placement and ambient lighting all affect how a screen feels in practice.
We display a range of screen sizes in our Dundee showroom — standing in front of a 55-inch next to a 65-inch makes the decision much easier than trying to judge from a website. Our staff can also advise on panel type and smart platform before you decide.
What is the difference between freestanding and built-in cooking appliances?
A freestanding cooker combines hob and oven in one unit that slots between kitchen cabinets. It is generally simpler to install, lower cost, and the right choice when you are doing a straight replacement rather than a full kitchen renovation.
Built-in appliances (a separate oven, hob and hood fitted into cabinetry) give a cleaner integrated look and allow you to position the oven at a comfortable height. They tend to suit new kitchen installations more than straight replacements. Cabinet compatibility and dimensions need to be checked before buying. Our staff can advise on both — call 01382 224488 or visit the showroom.
Do you sell gas cookers and can you install them?
Yes — we stock freestanding gas cookers and dual fuel models (gas hob, electric oven). Gas installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer, which is not a service we provide ourselves. We can deliver the appliance and our team will position it in place — but the final gas connection must be done by a qualified gas engineer. Electric cooker installation is something we do offer — see our installation page for details.
Can you install a TV, including wall mounting?
Yes — our television installation service covers unpacking, stand assembly or attachment to an existing suitable wall bracket, connection of existing equipment such as Sky boxes and digital recorders, full channel tuning, Wi-Fi configuration, and a demonstration before we leave. Wall-mounted TV installation using a new bracket is also available at a separate price. For details and pricing across all TV and audio installation options, see our installation page.
Do you offer finance or buy now, pay later on electricals?
Yes — finance and buy now, pay later options are available on qualifying purchases. This is particularly useful for larger purchases such as range cookers, large-screen televisions, American-style fridge freezers, or when buying multiple appliances for a new home. Ask in store or call 01382 224488 for details on what is currently available.
Do you price match with other retailers?
Yes — we offer a price match promise on like-for-like products from local authorised retailers. If you have found the same television or appliance cheaper locally, let us know before you purchase and we will do our best to match it. Call us on 01382 224488 with the details — the comparison needs to be genuinely like-for-like: same model, same specification, in stock and available from a recognised local retailer.
Do you stock Sonos and wireless audio products?
Yes — our audio range includes Sonos wireless speakers alongside soundbars, hi-fi systems, headphones, turntables and radios from other leading brands. If you are considering a multi-room Sonos setup, our team can advise on configuration. Installation for Sonos products is also available — call us for details, as pricing for multi-product installations may vary depending on the number of units and the setup required.
Which postcode areas do you deliver to from Dundee?
We deliver across all Dundee city postcodes (DD1–DD5), Newport-on-Tay and Tayport (DD6), Carnoustie (DD7), Forfar and Kirriemuir (DD8), Brechin (DD9), Montrose (DD10), and Arbroath (DD11). We also deliver to Blairgowrie and surrounding areas (PH10–PH13), Laurencekirk (AB30) and Stonehaven (AB39). Extended delivery to St Andrews (KY16) and Perth (PH1 & PH2) is available with an additional charge. If your postcode is not listed, call us on 01382 224488 before ordering and we will advise.
