Electrical work we do around Te Kauwhata homes
Everything from a full new-build wire-up to a couple of extra power points. Here's the work we do most around Te Kauwhata homes – one local sparky who turns up when he says, gets it done, and cleans up after himself.
Home electrical
New-build pre-wire, first and second fix, switchboards, fault-finding and repairs, lighting and extra power points. The day-to-day stuff around the home.
Learn moreHeat pump installation
Single-room splits right through to whole-house ducted, sized to suit the rooms so it actually heats the place properly.
Learn moreHome ventilation (SmartVent)
SmartVent positive-pressure systems for the condensation that new, closed-up homes get over winter. We're an authorised installer.
Learn moreSolar & battery
Grid-tied solar and battery storage to take the sting out of the power bill, or just solar-ready wiring run in before the walls close up so you can add panels later.
Learn moreInspections & sign-offs
Certificate of Verification on an existing install, a new-build handover sign-off, or a switchboard check – done locally, since Charly's a registered inspector himself.
Learn moreData, TV & EV charging
Cat-6 and network points, WiFi, TV and Starlink, plus a home EV charger wired on its own circuit, tested and labelled.

A lot of Te Kauwhata's growth is new families building out at the Estate, Lakeside and the subdivisions around them, so that's where most of our work is. Pre-wires, EV chargers, solar-ready wiring and making sure the supply can handle a modern home. For farms and the wider rural side see our rural electrical page.
New-build pre-wire, first and second fix
A subdivision build runs to a set order: pre-wire before the plaster, first fix at carcassing, second fix at handover, then sign-off. We fit in with your main contractor's timeline so the Cat-6, the EV-charger circuit and the solar conduit all go in while the walls are open, not chopped back in afterwards.
EV chargers commissioned at handover
Plenty of people here commute to Auckland in an EV, so the charger's usually on the list. We fit 7 kW Type 2 wall chargers on their own circuit with the right protection, and line it up with the builder so it's working on day one instead of getting added months later.
Solar-ready wiring at build stage
Running the conduit for solar while the walls are open costs next to nothing. Doing it later means pulling the lining off. We run conduit from where the panels would go down to the inverter spot and the switchboard, and leave a spare way at the board for the inverter circuit. Worth doing if solar's anywhere on the cards.
Getting the supply right
An EV charger, a heat pump, an induction cooktop and a hot-water cylinder all running at once adds up fast. We work out the load at design stage and either get the supply sized right with WEL Networks or fit a controller that prioritises circuits. Much easier to deal with now than after you've moved in.
Lifestyle blocks around town
The lifestyle blocks on the edge of town are part of the patch too. Generators, sheds, irrigation and stock-water pumps, plus changeover gear so a storm cut doesn't leave you without power. A common one to get sorted before winter.
