Electrician Palmerston North
Your Manawatū electricians for everything from a dead power point in Milson to a full rewire in Terrace End - with upfront pricing, compliance certificates every time, and the same crew doing your heat pump if you want the whole job done once.
Reliable, registered, straight-up
Our electricians live and work here, price openly, and treat the paperwork (CoCs, smoke-alarm compliance, the lot) as part of the job, not an extra.
Rates in the open: Straightforward jobs are charged by time with a clear call-out fee and hourly rate, confirmed upfront when you book (Auckland electricians typically run $90–$150/hr - ask us where we sit and we'll tell you straight). Bigger jobs - switchboards, rewires, renovations - get a fixed written quote before any work starts. No surprise invoices, ever; if we find something unexpected mid-job, work pauses until you've approved the change. Fixed prices you can already see: switchboards from $1,899, downlights from $89/point, power points from $149, 3-bed rewires typically $8,000–$12,000.
What the Manawatū calls us for
Every service, one local crew:
- Fault finding - tripping power, half-dead houses, storm-and-wind damage; urgent slots held daily.
- Switchboard upgrades - Palmy's older housing stock runs on a lot of ceramic fuses; we replace boards weekly, EV- and heat-pump-ready. From $1,899.
- Wiring & rewiring - pre-1970s homes in Terrace End, Hokowhitu, Awapuni and West End with original cable; assessed honestly, rewired in stages if the budget prefers.
- Lighting & LED downlights - conversions and new layouts, indoors and out. From $89 per point.
- Power points & outlets - including garage and outdoor power for workshops and sleepouts. From $149.
- Smoke alarms - the post-2024 interconnected rules for new builds and renos, and rental compliance packages for local landlords (Massey's student-flat belt keeps us busy here).
- Inspections & compliance - pre-purchase electrical checks, landlord safety checks, CoCs and insurance-driven assessments.
- New builds & renovations - plans-to-fit-off across Aokautere, Kelvin Grove, Whakarongo and Feilding's growth areas, alongside local builders.
- Commercial electrical - shops, offices and hospitality across the Square and beyond, worked around trading hours.
- Plus heat pumps - we're the rare local outfit that's a genuine specialist in both trades, so the board upgrade, the circuit and the heat pump happen in one coordinated visit. (Grant-eligible? We'll help you check your Warmer Kiwi Homes status while we're at it.)
- CCTV & security systems - cameras, alarms, monitoring and gate intercoms, from town sections to farm sheds.
- EV charger installation - from $1,799, with the switchboard sorted in the same visit where needed.
Local, and it shows
We cover Palmerston North city — Hokowhitu, Terrace End, Milson, Awapuni, Kelvin Grove, Cloverlea, Aokautere, Fitzherbert, West End — plus Feilding, Ashhurst, Longburn, Bunnythorpe, Sanson, Bulls, Foxton, Levin and Dannevirke. Rural Manawatū welcome; any travel component is quoted upfront, never discovered on the invoice.
The local knowledge earns its keep: wind-driven rain finding outdoor fittings, older weatherboard homes with decades of add-on wiring, student rentals needing bulletproof compliance, and lifestyle blocks where the shed’s “temporary” power arrangement has been temporary since 2003.
Why locals choose us: registered electricians, every job, every time (EWRB-checkable) · compliance certificates issued before we leave · 12-month workmanship guarantee · fixed quotes that stay fixed · and one number for electrical and heating, which nobody else local genuinely offers as a specialist in both.

Palmerston North electrician FAQs
How much does an electrician cost in Palmerston North?
Local rates typically run a little under Auckland's $90–$150/hr band; we confirm ours upfront when you book, with fixed quotes for substantial work.
Do you do urgent call-outs?
Yes - no-power, burning-smell and repeated-tripping situations get same-day priority; call rather than book online.
Do you work outside Palmy?
All over the Manawatū and down to Levin/Foxton; travel, if any, is quoted upfront.
Can you sort my rental's compliance in one visit?
Usually - smoke alarms, electrical safety check and any fixes, with dated documentation per property. Portfolio pricing available.
Electrical and a heat pump together?
That's our signature move: one crew, one shutdown, one invoice, both trades certified. See heat pumps in Palmerston North.
