Are you available after hours?
Yes. We answer the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A real local sparky picks up — not a call centre. After-hours callouts attract a small surcharge; we'll tell you the exact price before we start.
Are you licensed and insured?
Absolutely. We're Licensed Master Electricians registered with the EWRB, fully insured, and every job is certified to AS/NZS 3000 standards.
What should I do if a socket starts sparking or smoking?
Switch off the main breaker at the switchboard, unplug anything in that socket if it's safe to reach, keep people clear, and call us straight away on 04 885 3562. Do not use the socket until we've inspected it.
What services do you cover?
Switchboard upgrades, fault finding, power outage repairs, hot water cylinder repairs, EV charger installation, smoke alarm installation, lighting design and install, dead sockets, and all general residential and light commercial electrical work.
How much do you charge?
