Ellerslie is about 33 kilometres from Livewire's Kumeū base.

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.
