Homes in Ponsonby
Villas and apartments off Ponsonby Road
Ponsonby mixes heritage villas with apartment blocks, all close to the cafes and shops on Ponsonby Road. It is about 27km from our base, straight down the Northwestern motorway.
Villas here often have a mix of old and new wiring after years of renovations. Apartments bring their own issues, like shared switchboards and fittings put in by the original developer.
Apartment downlights that keep failing
Some older apartment LED installs used undersized fittings, and the drivers overheat and fail well before they should. We replaced 16 downlights through one Ponsonby apartment for exactly this reason, after repeated failures in different rooms.
If your downlights keep dying one at a time, swapping them individually will not fix it. An LED replacement with properly rated fittings deals with the cause.

Kitchens and heaters
Kitchen upgrades are common in Ponsonby villas, and they usually mean new appliance circuits as well. We supplied and installed a canopy rangehood with new ducting over one customer's cooktop. Getting the duct route right in an older villa takes some planning, especially with a finished ceiling.
When two hard-wired wall heaters stopped working in another home, we traced the fault back to the switchboard instead of replacing the heaters. Villa rewires and ceiling fans are the other regular Ponsonby jobs.
