Our Services
Here’s a look at some of the most popular services our residential electricians provide in Auckland
Indoor Lighting
One of the most important parts of a residential electrical project is to create the perfect indoor lighting system for your home. We use our many years of experience, and our qualified lighting designers to create the perfect solution tailored to your requirements.
Outdoor Lighting
There’s nothing better than an evening spent outside with family and friends. The perfect outdoor lighting can help create the perfect ambience for your outdoor get-togethers!
Add-On Lighting
Whether you just need additional lighting in the living room, or you’re looking to create a lighting scheme for your newly added outdoor space, our electricians in Auckland will work with you to design a lighting setup that meets your needs, budget, and timeframe.
Additional Power Outlets
Several older homes are not suited for the modern lifestyle. Our registered electricians in Auckland can install additional power outlets at strategic points in your home to help cope with the additional gadgets and electrical devices.
House rewiring or Switchboard Upgrades
Most houses built before 1970 are likely to have the old style rewireable fuses, with deteriorating and unsafe rubber cabling and possibly even asbestos in the switchboard. Current NZ electrical regulations require these to be upgraded to a newer switchboard that meets the latest electrical standards. This ultimately means it’s safer for your home, and significantly reduces your fire risk.
Hot Water
Whether you need an upgrade, urgent repairs or a complete system replacement, our electricians can carry out an on-site assessment to identify your requirements and provide a solution for all kinds of hot water issues.
EV Chargers
With electric vehicles becoming popular by the day, it only makes sense to install a charging station on your property. Get in touch with us to discuss your requirements.
Smart & Energy Efficient Solutions
Technology has come a long way in the last 10years, and so have our electricians! We can walk you through bluetooth lighting and alarm systems you can control via an app on your phone. Or perhaps an energy efficient hot water system that reduces your power bill by up to $700 per year! Indoor air quality and reducing condensation is also a game changer for those working from home more often. We can tailor the perfect solution to suit your lifestyle.
Electrical Repairs and Maintenance in Auckland
We realise that even one malfunctioning appliance can wreak havoc on the entire household. That’s why we make it our goal to deliver prompt and quick service to all our clients.
Ceiling Fan Repairs & Installation
When considering a ceiling fan installation, understanding the costs involved is essential for homeowners across Auckland. The ceiling fan installation cost can vary based on several factors, such as the type of fan, the complexity of the installation, and whether high ceiling fan installation is required.
Extractor Fan Installation
At Livewire Electrical, we recognise that effective ventilation is essential for maintaining a healthy home, especially in areas like bathrooms and kitchens. A properly installed bathroom extractor fan is crucial for reducing mould and ensuring that your bathroom and nearby spaces stay dryer and healthier.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does hot water cylinder installation cost in Auckland?
Electric hot water cylinder installation in Auckland typically costs between $1,800 and $3,500 fitted, including removal of the old unit. Cylinder size, location and switchboard work affect final pricing.
Can you repair a hot water cylinder that is not heating?
Yes. Common causes are a failed element, faulty thermostat, tripped breaker or wiring fault. We diagnose the issue and quote the repair before any work starts.
How long does hot water installation take?
A like-for-like cylinder swap takes three to five hours. New installs or relocations can take a full day.
Do you install heat pump hot water systems?
Yes. Heat pump hot water systems use up to 70 percent less power than standard cylinders and suit homes looking to cut power bills. We help you choose the right size.
Can you upgrade an old gravity-fed cylinder to mains pressure?
Yes. Many older Auckland homes still have low-pressure gravity-fed cylinders. We upgrade to mains-pressure systems which give much better shower and tap flow.
Why is my hot water running out quickly?
Common causes are an undersized cylinder, a failed lower element, a leaking tempering valve or sediment build-up. We test the system and recommend the right fix.
Can you install timers on hot water systems?
Yes. Timers and ripple control devices help you heat water during off-peak hours and reduce power costs.
Do you handle insurance jobs for failed hot water systems?
Yes. We provide written quotes, fault reports and Certificates of Compliance suitable for insurance claims.
Is certification included with hot water installation?
Yes. Every install includes a Certificate of Compliance from a registered Auckland electrician.
What Auckland areas do you service for hot water work?
