Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do I need a licensed electrician for all electrical work in Auckland?

Yes. NZ law requires all prescribed electrical work to be completed by an EWRB-registered electrician. This includes wiring, switchboard work, power points, heat pump connections, and EV charger installation.

2. How much do electrical services cost in Auckland?

Most electricians charge a call-out fee for the first 30–60 minutes, then an hourly rate after that. Emergency and after-hours jobs may cost more depending on the work required.

3. What is a Certificate of Compliance?

A Certificate of Compliance confirms the electrical work was completed safely and according to NZ electrical standards. It is important for insurance and property compliance.

4. How do I know if my home needs a switchboard upgrade?

Frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, burning smells, or old ceramic fuses can indicate your switchboard needs inspection or upgrading.

5. Can you install an EV charger at my Auckland home?

Yes. EV charger installation must be completed by a registered electrician. We install dedicated circuits and provide the required compliance certification.
