Homes in Takapuna
Between the beach and Lake Pupuke
Takapuna sits between the beach and Lake Pupuke, with apartments, villas and a busy strip of shops and showrooms. It is about 30km from our base, and we book Takapuna jobs into our planned North Shore runs.
The housing is a real mix: older villas a few streets back from the beach, newer townhouses, and apartment blocks of every age around the town centre. Each brings its own kind of electrical job.
Apartment buildings and property managers
Many Takapuna jobs come through property managers looking after apartment buildings. Corridors, stairwells and car parks need lighting that works, because residents use them at all hours. We fixed a flickering communal corridor light for one building's property manager.
Inside individual apartments, LED upgrades are a regular job. In the villas it is more often a switchboard that has not been touched in decades.

EV chargers and retail faults
If you have already bought your own charger, we can install it, as long as the supply can take it. We wired and commissioned a customer-supplied Audi EV charger here to the car maker's specification.
For shops and showrooms, we work around opening hours as far as we can. A tripping fault at a local plumbing showroom was found and fixed without stopping trade.
