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.
