After an electrical solution?

Protect the safety of your home.

There are typically 1,500 electrical fires a year in New Zealand, making up nearly a quarter of all fire incidents. The most common reasons for these fires are overloaded circuits, faulty outlets, outdated wiring or misused/overloaded extensions.

If your home was built over 25 years ago and it hasn't been updated since, it's likely your electricals are at fault. An annual check can reduce the risk of accidents and costly repairs for your home.

Protect you family and insurance premium. 

Avoid becoming a statistic yourself.

Increase the resale value of your home.

Our team are recognised by the largest professional electrical body in New Zealand as experts at what they do.

More than just a repair job.


LED lights last up to 25 times longer and use up to 90% less energy than traditional bulbs, saving you between $100-150 a year.


Increase the efficiency of your heat pump by 65% with a new, energy approved model.


Join more than 56,000 Kiwis switching to solar panels and reduce your energy bill costs by 40-70%.


Recover the investment on your solar panel system within a decade and use the savings to pay off the cost of your mortgage.


Safe circuts that are up to date can typically run at up to 1500-2400 watts — further wattage requires additional safety features to prevent energy spikes or overload.

What to look out for in old homes

Outdated electrical fittings.

Look for old wiring, fuse boxes, or outdated electrical panels that may need upgrading to meet modern safety standards.

Broken switches and sockets.

Ensure that all switches and sockets are in proper working condition, without any cracks, loose connections, or malfunctioning components.

Burn marks around sockets.

Check for any scorch marks, discoloration, or signs of overheating around electrical sockets, which could indicate potential fire hazards.

Lack of record for what electrical work does.

Verify if there is documentation or records of past electrical repairs or upgrades, as it helps in understanding the history and condition of the electrical system in the house.

How to safeguard your home.


In the last census, electrical fires were up by 22% from previous years, due to faulty or old wiring. As more houses or buildings are updated to include new switches, plugs and greater 240v capacity, they’ll need to be updated. In fact, all 279,000 NZ homes built during the 1970s and earlier need to be updated to meet compliance standards today. So, whether you’re undertaking a new build or renovating an existing project, it’s important to engage with expert electricians who can meet safety standards and wire around your electricity usage, with specific outlets that meet your electrical requirements.
