Electric work is highly regulated in New Zealand for good reason: a sub-standard connection can put your family, staff and insurance policy at risk. Using a registered electrician or licensed electrical contractor ensures compliance with AS/NZS 3000, proper documentation (CoC/RoI) and workmanship that stands the test of time.
Project types they cover
- Switchboard upgrades & rewiring of older villas
- New-build electrical design and installation
- Home automation, data & smart-home integration
- Solar PV connection and EV charger setup
- Commercial fit-outs, lighting plans and maintenance
Typical costs in the Bay of Plenty
Rates vary by experience and scope, but the figures below provide a local benchmark:
- Call-out fee: $90-$120 + GST
- Hourly rate: $85-$110 + GST
- Full three-bedroom rewiring: $8,000-$15,000

Always request a detailed quote and confirm whether materials, travel and compliance certificates are included.
Regulations you should know
Any prescribed electrical work (PEW) must be completed or supervised by a licensed professional and signed off with a Certificate of Compliance. DIY is limited to very minor tasks like changing a light bulb. For full guidelines see WorkSafe NZ.
