Why hire a registered electrician?

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
  • New-build electrical package: 4-6% of overall build cost

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.

Questions to ask before you hire

  • Are you currently registered and insured?
  • Can I see recent Bay of Plenty projects similar to mine?
  • Who will be on-site day to day—qualified electricians or apprentices?
  • How will variations be priced and approved?
  • What is your process for scheduling inspections and final sign-off?

Pairing trades for smoother projects

Electrical work often overlaps with other trades. Coordinating early with plumbers & gas fitters or solar power installers can prevent costly rework. Explore more building & construction specialists that complement your electrician:
