Locals say
5-star reviews from your neighbours.
“Switchboard started smelling hot on a Sunday night. Called at 9pm, sparky was in Riccarton within 40 minutes and made it safe. Upfront price, no drama.”
“Full rewire of a 1920s Merivale villa. Tidy work, clear quote before starting, and they worked around our family. Lights and heat pumps all perfect.”
“No hot water mid-winter with two kids at home. Fixed the element and thermostat the same morning and checked the rest of the board while here.”

Frequently asked.
Are you available 24 hours in Christchurch?
Yes. We answer the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for emergency electrical callouts across Christchurch and the surrounding Canterbury townships.
How fast can an electrician get to me?
For urgent jobs we aim to be on-site across Christchurch within the hour. Outer areas such as Rolleston, Rangiora and Darfield are typically 45-75 minutes.
Are your electricians licensed?
Every job is completed by a licensed New Zealand electrician and we are fully insured. You receive a Certificate of Compliance for all prescribed electrical work.
Do you charge for quotes?
Quotes for planned work such as rewires, switchboard upgrades and EV chargers are free. Emergency callouts are charged at a clearly stated callout rate confirmed before we travel.
What does an after-hours callout cost?
After-hours work carries a higher callout rate than standard weekday hours. We tell you the rate on the phone before dispatch, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
Do you work on rentals and healthy homes compliance?
Yes. We handle smoke alarm installs, heat pump circuits, switchboard safety upgrades and electrical reports for Christchurch landlords and property managers.
