Whitford Properties Aren’t Suburban, and Neither Is the Electrical Work
Our Whitford work looks different to the rest of Auckland, and it’s worth being specific about why. Almost all of it is residential, but these are lifestyle blocks and large properties, not quarter-acre sections, so the jobs are bores, pumps, sheds, gates and generators rather than apartment switchboards.
Real examples from our job records here: running bore power in trench, connecting septic pumps, livening up power to a pump shed, floatless switch installation, generator testing for several repeat clients, gate repairs, prewiring a Totalspan shed, installing lights under a canopy, spa pool supply, and fault finding a compressor.
Long driveways, outbuildings and private water and wastewater systems mean the cable runs are longer, the earthing matters more, and a power outage takes out the water supply as well as the lights. We’re used to that. Our PO Box is at Whitford.
