Frequently Asked Questions

Top questions homeowners and businesses ask us about our electrical services.  


  • Do you provide 24-hour emergency electrician service in Auckland?

    Yes. Call 021 515 838 any time, day or night, and we’ll get a qualified North Shore electrician to your Auckland address as quickly as possible to restore power or make the site safe.

  • How much does a full house rewire cost in New Zealand?

    A typical three-bedroom Auckland home costs $9,000–$15,000+ NZD to rewire, depending on size, access, switchboard condition and any extras such as data, alarm or EV-charger cabling. Send us your plans or book a free site visit for an exact quote.

  • Can you install an electric vehicle (EV) charger at my home or workplace?

    Absolutely. We supply and install 7 kW and 22 kW wall chargers, upgrade your switchboard if needed, and issue the Certificate of Compliance required by NZ regulations.

  • How often should my switchboard be inspected or upgraded?

    If your board is more than 25 years old, still uses fuses, or lacks RCD protection, book an inspection now. Modern RCD-protected boards meet AS/NZS 3000 standards and greatly reduce fire and shock risk.

  • What power savings can I expect by switching to LED lighting?

    Quality LED downlights use up to 80 % less electricity than halogens and last 25,000 + hours. A typical North Shore household can save $200–$400 per year on lighting alone.

  • Do I need a Certificate of Compliance (CoC) for small electrical jobs?

    Any mains work—new circuits, switchboard upgrades, EV chargers—must be signed off with a CoC. Small like-for-like light-fitting swaps need only an Electrical Safety Certificate (ESC). We supply the correct paperwork on every job.

  • Can you run data and phone cabling during my renovation?

    Yes. We install Cat-6/Cat-6A data lines, patch panels and extra phone outlets while walls are open, saving you future rework and extra cost.

  • Are you qualified to work on commercial or high-risk sites?

    We hold $2 million public-liability cover, and we regularly work in shops, cafés, schools, petrol stations and light-industrial plants.


  • Do you service areas outside the North Shore?

    Yes. While we’re based in Murrays bay, we travel Auckland-wide—North Shore, West, Central, East and South Auckland, and as far north as Silverdale and Ōrewa.
