Māngere Work Is Mostly Lighting, and Mostly Upgrades
Lighting dominates our Māngere job records, and specifically upgrades rather than repairs: LED high bay replacements, LED conversions, front and exterior light repairs, and sensor lighting.
The rest is a mix of commercial and residential, replacing socket outlets, electric door releases, smoke detector installation and remedial work, and silicone grills. Warranty work on recently built homes also features.
High bay LED conversions are the standout. If you have a warehouse or workshop in Māngere still running metal halide or old fluorescent high bays, the running-cost difference is usually enough to pay for the changeover, and the light quality is not comparable.

Arrived to do the job promptly and did a quick efficient jobPosted on Google John TapeneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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 Lianne MacLeodTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Marco was very fast and efficient. Will definitely use French Electrical for all future electrical work.Posted on Google Shannon DuffyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is 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 Annette JacksonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First time using French Electricals. I will definitely be using this firm again. Efficient, polite, good info. about what to expect too.
