Serving Mission Bay and East Auckland Since 1974
French Electrical has been based in East Tamaki since 1974, and we work across Mission Bay and the eastern bays along Tamaki Drive.
Mission Bay has a mix of 1920s to 1950s bungalows, character homes and modern apartments. Older homes often need careful rewiring, and being on the waterfront, outdoor fittings wear faster than inland.

I emailed this company at 9:30am because they were local and had been in the area for about 50 years. I received an email response within an hour and had an electrician on site by 11:30am. He, Nigel, assessed tour immediate needs and identified a major problem that needed replacing. Because of the location of the problem, Nigel needed assistance. Three electricians were now on site and they worked very efficiently to not only effect the necessary repairs, but ensured that the primary cause for the previous damage should not reoccur. The team packed up their equipment, tidied up and were on their way. A very professional team of tradesmen whom I would highly recommend.Posted on Google![]()

The socket our fridge plugs into stopped working (even when we tried plugging in other things to test it) and French electrical were able to come over to check it out within a few hours of me calling. When Noah arrived he checked everything and couldn’t find anything wrong and it had started working again. But instead of just leaving it, he double checked behind the socket cover and all the wires as well as checking the switchboard and making sure everything was working well so that I could be confident that the fridge should be OK! Noah’s attention to detail meant that I felt reassured. I’d definitely book with them again for small or big jobs.Posted on Google![]()

About Mission Bay
Mission Bay is a waterfront suburb on Tamaki Drive, known for its beach, cafes and Art Deco fountain. Homes range from bungalows and character houses built between the wars to modern apartments and townhouses.
Homes built before the 1960s may still have rubber-insulated wiring, which goes brittle with age and can become a fire risk. We check for it before any renovation work. We often rewire and upgrade switchboards in older homes, install LED and designer lighting, and add smart home controls. Salt air is hard on outdoor fittings, so we use marine-grade or suitably IP-rated fittings for exterior lights and power. For businesses on Tamaki Drive, we handle maintenance, fit-outs and lighting.
