Frequently asked questions

General

Can you help with emergency electrical repairs?

Yes, we offer fast-response electrical services for urgent issues like power outages, electrical faults, or exposed wiring — 24/7 in Palmerston North.

Do I need a qualified electrician to install a power point?

Yes, any electrical work in New Zealand, including power point installations, must be done by a licensed electrician to comply with safety regulations and avoid insurance issues.

How do I know if my home’s wiring is up to code?

Common signs include flickering lights, tripping breakers, or visible damage to outlets. A qualified electrician can perform a full inspection and issue a Certificate of Compliance if needed.

How much does an electrician charge per hour in Palmerston North?

Rates typically range from $90 to $130+GST per hour, depending on the complexity of the work, materials needed, and the electrician’s experience. Fixed quotes are common for larger jobs.

How soon can you book an electrician in Palmerston North?

We can usually schedule bookings within 1–3 working days. For urgent issues or outages, we offer same-day emergency service throughout Palmerston North.

House Rewiring

Is rewiring messy or disruptive?

Some wall access is needed, but we use techniques to limit mess. We'll always clean up after and aim to minimise disturbance to your home.

How long does a full house rewire take?

A typical rewire takes 3–10 days depending on the size of the home and ease of access. We'll always try to minimise disruption.

Is it legal to rewire a house myself in New Zealand?

No. All electrical work must be carried out by a licensed electrician. DIY wiring is illegal and dangerous, and it voids insurance and can risk lives.

How much does it cost to rewire a house in NZ?

Rewiring costs vary by house size and access but typically range from $5,000 to $15,000. A site visit is required for an accurate quote.

What are the signs of outdated or unsafe wiring?

Look for burning smells, discoloured outlets, flickering lights, or breakers that trip frequently. These issues signal deteriorated or overloaded wiring that should be replaced.

Switchboard Upgrades

How much does it cost to upgrade a switchboard in Palmerston North?

Prices typically range from $1,200 to $3,000 depending on size and setup. We provide upfront quotes with no surprises.

Can I upgrade my switchboard without rewiring the house?

Yes, in many cases the switchboard can be upgraded independently — as long as the wiring condition is safe and compliant.

How long does a switchboard upgrade take?

Most upgrades are completed within a day. Power will be off during the changeover, but we schedule it to minimise downtime.

What are RCDs and do I need them?

Residual Current Devices (RCDs) shut off power instantly in a fault to prevent shocks. They're now required for most circuits in NZ homes.

When should I upgrade my switchboard?

Upgrade if your switchboard uses ceramic fuses, lacks RCD protection, or can’t handle modern electrical loads. Older switchboards are a major fire risk and may not meet current safety codes.

EV Chargers

Can you install EV chargers in apartment buildings?

Yes, we can install EV chargers for shared parking spaces or multi-unit dwellings, including load balancing and metering solutions.

Do I need council consent for an EV charger install?

Generally, no. But if upgrades to the main supply or shared infrastructure are needed, we’ll guide you through any approvals required.

Do I need 3-phase power to charge an electric vehicle?

Not necessarily. Most homes can charge EVs using single-phase power, but 3-phase connections offer faster charging times and are ideal for larger battery vehicles.

How much power does a Level 2 EV charger use?

Level 2 chargers typically use 7kW–22kW depending on your setup. Single-phase supplies offer up to 7.4kW, while 3-phase connections enable faster 22kW charging.

Can I install an EV charger at home in Palmerston North?

Absolutely. A qualified electrician can install wall-mounted EV chargers that are compatible with your vehicle and compliant with NZ power regulations.

3-Phase Power

What are the benefits of 3-phase power for industrial equipment?

It provides better voltage stability and smoother operation for motors, compressors, and machinery — reducing wear and increasing efficiency.

Is 3-phase power safe for residential use?

Yes, when installed by a licensed electrician. It’s commonly used in larger homes with spas, EVs, or heavy equipment.

Can you upgrade single-phase to 3-phase at my property?

Yes, but availability depends on your street’s supply. We’ll liaise with your energy provider and handle the internal upgrade.

How much does it cost to install 3-phase power in NZ?

Expect costs from $3,000–$10,000+, depending on your location, proximity to a 3-phase supply, and the level of electrical work needed inside your property.

What is 3-phase power and do I need it for my home or business?

3-phase power provides more efficient and stable electricity, especially for high-demand equipment. It’s common in commercial setups but also useful for EV chargers, large air cons, or workshops at home.

Can you assist with machine installations and relocations?

Yes, we handle wiring, isolator setups, and electrical commissioning for all types of industrial equipment.
