Why hire a registered electrician?

In New Zealand, almost all electrical work—whether you are rewiring a villa in Ponsonby or installing a factory switchboard in Penrose—must be carried out by a licensed electrician. Professionals issue Certificates of Compliance (CoCs) that protect you from fire risk, voided insurance and council sign-off delays.

Key services available in Auckland

  • Residential wiring for new builds, renovations and extensions.
  • Commercial electrician services for fit-outs, data cabling and lighting design.
  • Industrial maintenance and shutdown work for manufacturing plants.
  • EV charger and solar inverter installs—often coordinated with solar power installers & suppliers.
  • Heat-pump circuits and smart-home automation.
  • Minor repairs—from a flickering light to connecting a freestanding cooker.

Compliance essentials

Auckland electricians follow AS/NZS 3000:2018 and must be registered with the Electrical Workers Registration Board. Always request:

  • Their EWRB licence number.
  • A written quote outlining scope and materials.
  • A CoC on completion.

Typical costs

Hourly rates range from $95–$125 + GST for a qualified electrician in Auckland. Expect set fees for common jobs (e.g. $180–$250 to connect a freestanding cooker) and higher labour for after-hours call-outs. For commercial or industrial projects, pricing moves to a job-based model—obtain at least three quotes.

How to choose the right contractor

  1. Match expertise: Seek a commercial electrician in Auckland for retail fit-outs; an industrial electrician for plant upgrades.
  2. Verify insurance: Minimum $2 million public liability is standard.
