Homes in Parnell
Auckland's oldest suburb
Parnell has some of the oldest houses in Auckland, from heritage villas near the village shops to character homes around the Rose Gardens. It is about 30km from our Kumeū base, along the Northwestern motorway.
Many of these houses still run on wiring and fuse boards that are decades old, and some have had partial upgrades over the years. Before quoting we look at the whole installation, so there are no surprises once the work starts.
Heritage villas and higher loads
Old villas often have original wiring behind plaster walls, with ceilings that are hard to get into. We plan cable routes so original features are left alone wherever possible, and we tidy up properly after ourselves.
When one Parnell owner wanted a 6kW home sauna, we ran a new 32A single-phase feed and routed the cable around the existing layout of the house. A load like that needs its own circuit, sized properly, and not a share of an existing one.
