Ellerslie is about 33 kilometres from Livewire's Kumeū base. Most work here is straightforward residential maintenance: diagnosing a mains pressure hot water cylinder that has stopped heating without jumping to a replacement, correcting light fittings that were installed badly by someone else, and trenching exposed cable properly into the ground. Fixed quotes and a Certificate of Compliance on every job.

Homes in Ellerslie

Racecourse, villas and townhouses

Ellerslie is known for its racecourse and event centre, with older villas and newer townhouses close to the Southern motorway. It is about 33km from our base, and most of our work here is everyday residential maintenance.

The older villas need switchboard upgrades and repairs. The townhouses tend to want additions, such as EV chargers, data points and outdoor power, once the owners have lived in them a while.

Hot water without a needless replacement

A cylinder that has stopped heating does not always need replacing. One Ellerslie customer's 180L mains pressure cylinder had gone cold, and we found and fixed the fault so the cylinder stayed in service.

That saved the cost of a new cylinder and the plumber to fit it. We always test the element, thermostat and supply before suggesting a replacement.

Working in Ellerslie with Livewire

Putting earlier work right

Some jobs here are about fixing work that someone else did badly before us. We found a ceiling rose that had been hung on a hook and had come away from the ceiling, and refitted it properly.

At another property, single-core cable had been left exposed above ground, so we trenched it into the ground properly where it could not be dug up or tripped over. Townhouse owners also ask us for EV chargers, data and outdoor power.

Fantastic team! Our request was answered promptly and professionally. The electrician sent to our home, Tom, was efficient, friendly and great communicator. I also appreciated the tidiness at the work site after finishing and during the work. We are satisfied with the work carried out- moving and installing tricky PowerPoints in a kitchen and tiled bathroom. I will definitely be using this team again.

Epic service from the Livewire Electrical team! We had an urgent breaker issue on a switchboard, logged the job at short notice and they had it attended to and sorted within 2 hours. Fast, professional and easy to deal with from start to finish. Really appreciate the quick turnaround when we needed it. Highly recommend the Livewire team!

Jared and Tom were very friendly and efficient. Their workmanship was excellent. They were prompt on arrival, tidy with tools and equipment. They then tested the work they had done and did not leave the property until they, and myself, were satisfied that the job was to a high standard and working perfectly.

Absolutely A+ was my experience with Annette and the team. Had house electrical issues, Vector kept telling us it was our issue to sort...Livewire listened and diagnosed over the phone, pointed us back to Vector to sort it. Saved us a call out and no charge for advice. Awesome service and will be our first port of call next time. Thanks again

Thank you livewire electrical. The office team were chipper and helpful on the phone. Appointment was set to suit my schedule. Tom, the sparky, was prompt. He did a great job to fix all our problems. He was polite, cheerful and fixed everything in no time. Pricing is very reasonable. I'd like to give bonus points from the dog to Tom. She appreciated to be able to spectate your work 😁
