Switchboard & meter upgrades
Older boards often cannot safely carry a modern household: a heat pump, an induction hob and an EV were not on the plan in 1975. We upgrade, certify and document.

Your home should be safe, efficient and comfortable. Everything from a single power point to full wiring on a new build, tidy and certified.

Popular homeelectrical services
The four jobs Canterbury homeowners call us about most. The full list of everything we do is further down.
Lighting design & LED upgrades
Interior and exterior lighting designed rather than guessed, and whole-house LED replacements, usually the fastest payback of anything on this page.
EV charger installation
A dedicated, correctly sized and certified circuit for charging at home, sized against what your board can actually spare.
Renovations & rewiring
Rewiring through a renovation, including working around the older wiring you cannot see until the wall is open.

Also worth knowing
Casambi lighting controldone properly
We are Casambi certified, which means we can deliver wireless lighting control that is genuinely reliable rather than a collection of smart bulbs that drop off the network.
Scenes, zones, dimming and scheduling: controlled from a phone or a wall switch, and commissioned so it keeps working after we leave. It suits renovations especially well, because much of it goes in without running new switch wiring.
Rural & lifestyle
Approved Starlinkinstallers in NZ
If you are rural or on a lifestyle block, connectivity is often the real problem rather than power. We are Approved Starlink Installers, so we can mount the dish properly, run the cabling neatly and get the network side working, not just leave a box on the roof.
We have done this on homes, businesses and a marae, including the internal networking to go with it.
Penelope's Starlink install
We rang Aru as a new customer trying to troubleshoot our Starlink installation with our restaurant printers and can't believe the quick and clear service. Evan popped up the next morning and fixed our issues, so cheerful, thorough and quick. We will be calling you again for all electrical needs.
Everything else
The full listof what we do
A list, not a wall of boxes, fourteen equally-sized cards make everything look like a headline offer. Tap any line for the detail.
Full wiring on a new build, planned with your builder and staged to the programme, including getting the conduit and pre-wire in before it is expensive to change your mind.
New circuits into an extension, and tying them back into a board that was sized for the original house. We tell you up front if the board needs to come first.
The electrical side of heating and cooling: dedicated circuits, isolation and outdoor unit supply, done to the manufacturer's spec so the warranty stands.
Lighting, heating and security brought together so the house works the way you actually live, rather than four apps that do not talk to each other.
We are Casambi certified: scenes, zones, dimming and scheduling from a phone or a wall switch, commissioned so it keeps working after we leave. Suits renovations especially, because much of it goes in without running new switch wiring.
Alarm systems, movement sensors and security lighting, installed and commissioned rather than left for you to configure.
Interconnected, mains-powered smoke alarms: the standard for new builds and a sensible upgrade for any older home still on nine-volt batteries.
The small jobs: an outdoor socket, a garage circuit, more outlets in a kitchen, a switch moved. No job is too small to do properly.
Power and data run neatly to where the equipment actually goes, including in-wall runs and TV mounting.
Approved Starlink Installers in New Zealand: dish mounted properly, cabling run neatly, and the network side working, including getting a signal out to a sleepout or shed.
Something has failed and it cannot wait. Call us and we will tell you honestly whether it is today or tomorrow.
Nuisance tripping, a dead circuit, or a board that has been added to for forty years. We find the cause rather than replacing parts until it stops.
Where a job involves other trades, we will run the electrical programme and coordinate with them so nobody is waiting on us.
Certificates of compliance and electrical safety certificates issued and recorded, so the paperwork exists when you sell the house.

Marlon & KayChristchurch (Lighting upgrade)
A big thank-you to Aru and his team for upgrading the downlights in our entire house to LED. They were quick and very tidy and it was hardly a disruption. We would certainly use them again.
