Complete electrical services
No two properties are the same. Older villas have different electrical requirements than modern homes, and commercial offices operate differently from warehouses, retail stores and hospitality venues.
That is why every project begins with understanding how the building is used before recommending the right solution. Our services include installations, upgrades, maintenance, repairs and inspections across residential and commercial properties.

Switchboard upgrades
Older switchboards were designed for a completely different era. Today's homes often have heat pumps, induction cooktops, EV chargers and home offices - an ageing switchboard may struggle to support these loads safely.
Signs a switchboard upgrade may be required include:
- Ceramic fuses
- Tripping circuits
- Flickering lights
- Burning smells
- Limited circuit capacity
- Renovation projects
- Installing an EV charger
- Installing a ducted heat pump
We can assess your switchboard and recommend an upgrade that supports your property's current and future electrical needs.
Wiring & rewiring
Electrical wiring forms the backbone of every property. Older wiring may become unsafe through age, deterioration or increased electrical demand.
We carry out:
- Full house rewiring
- Partial rewiring
- Extension & renovation wiring
- New circuits
- Appliance circuits
- Garage & shed wiring
- Commercial rewiring
Every installation is planned carefully to suit the property layout while allowing room for future expansion where practical.
Lighting & LED downlights
Lighting influences the comfort, appearance and functionality of every room. LED technology offers improved efficiency, lower maintenance and better light quality compared with older lighting systems.
We install lighting for homes and commercial buildings including:
- LED downlights
- Feature & pendant lighting
- Kitchen lighting
- Bathroom lighting
- Exterior lighting
- Security lighting
- Garden lighting
- Office lighting
- Warehouse lighting
We can also help plan lighting layouts during renovations and new builds.
Power points & outlets
Many older homes simply don't have enough power outlets for modern living, and extension leads can create unnecessary clutter and safety concerns.
We install:
- Additional power points
- USB outlets
- Outdoor outlets
- Kitchen outlets
- Garage outlets
- Office outlets
- Appliance circuits
- Dedicated equipment circuits
Each installation is positioned to improve convenience while maintaining safe electrical loading.
Fault finding & electrical repairs
Lights flickering. Power tripping. Appliances losing power. Circuit breakers repeatedly switching off. These symptoms often point to an underlying issue that requires proper diagnosis - our electricians use systematic fault finding to identify the cause before recommending repairs.
Common faults include:
- Circuit overloads
- Damaged wiring
- Faulty switches & outlets
- RCD issues
- Appliance faults
- Water damage
- Loose connections
Finding the source properly helps avoid repeat problems.
Electrical inspections & compliance
Electrical safety begins with proper compliance. We provide electrical inspections and documentation for homes, rentals and commercial properties.
Inspections and documentation include:
- Certificate of Compliance (CoC)
- Electrical Safety Certificates
- Pre-purchase inspections
- Rental inspections
- Safety checks
- Renovation inspections
Inspections provide confidence that electrical work has been completed safely and complies with current New Zealand requirements.
New builds & renovations
Building or renovating provides the perfect opportunity to design electrical systems around how the property will be used. We work alongside homeowners, builders and architects during every stage of construction.
We can assist with:
- Electrical design
- Lighting layouts
- Switch locations
- Appliance planning
- Data cabling
- Heat pump preparation
- EV charging provision
- Future expansion planning
Good planning today saves time and money later.

- Existing homes
