Our Services

Here’s a look at some of the most popular services our residential electricians provide in Auckland

Indoor Lighting

One of the most important parts of a residential electrical project is to create the perfect indoor lighting system for your home. We use our many years of experience, and our qualified lighting designers to create the perfect solution tailored to your requirements.

Outdoor Lighting

There’s nothing better than an evening spent outside with family and friends. The perfect outdoor lighting can help create the perfect ambience for your outdoor get-togethers!

Add-On Lighting

Whether you just need additional lighting in the living room, or you’re looking to create a lighting scheme for your newly added outdoor space, our electricians in Auckland will work with you to design a lighting setup that meets your needs, budget, and timeframe.

Additional Power Outlets

Several older homes are not suited for the modern lifestyle. Our registered electricians in Auckland can install additional power outlets at strategic points in your home to help cope with the additional gadgets and electrical devices.

House rewiring or Switchboard Upgrades

Most houses built before 1970 are likely to have the old style rewireable fuses, with deteriorating and unsafe rubber cabling and possibly even asbestos in the switchboard. Current NZ electrical regulations require these to be upgraded to a newer switchboard that meets the latest electrical standards. This ultimately means it’s safer for your home, and significantly reduces your fire risk.

Hot Water

Whether you need an upgrade, urgent repairs or a complete system replacement, our electricians can carry out an on-site assessment to identify your requirements and provide a solution for all kinds of hot water issues.

EV Chargers

With electric vehicles becoming popular by the day, it only makes sense to install a charging station on your property. Get in touch with us to discuss your requirements.

Smart & Energy Efficient Solutions

Technology has come a long way in the last 10years, and so have our electricians! We can walk you through bluetooth lighting and alarm systems you can control via an app on your phone. Or perhaps an energy efficient hot water system that reduces your power bill by up to $700 per year! Indoor air quality and reducing condensation is also a game changer for those working from home more often. We can tailor the perfect solution to suit your lifestyle.

Electrical Repairs and Maintenance in Auckland

We realise that even one malfunctioning appliance can wreak havoc on the entire household. That’s why we make it our goal to deliver prompt and quick service to all our clients.

Ceiling Fan Repairs & Installation
