Homes and businesses in Onehunga
Older homes by the Manukau
Onehunga sits on the Manukau Harbour, with older houses around the town centre and light industrial and commercial premises further out. It is about 31km from our Kumeū base, and we work here for homeowners and businesses alike.
Some of the older houses still have overhead power lines and original fuse boards, which is why supply and switchboard upgrades make up a lot of our Onehunga work.
Old fuse boards and overhead lines
Many older homes here still have their original fuse board. In one case an inspection flagged it for replacement, so we quoted and fitted a modern switchboard with current safety switching.
Some properties are still fed by overhead lines from the street pole. We isolated one, removed the overhead cable and installed a new single-phase supply underground. It tidies up the property and takes the line out of reach of trees and vehicles.

On the commercial side, we look after a warehouse and office building on Church Street on an ongoing basis, plus LED conversions for homes and local premises. Light industrial sites nearby can also book test and tag.
