Serving Onehunga and Central Auckland Since 1974
French Electrical has been based in East Tamaki since 1974, and we work across Onehunga’s homes, shops and industrial sites.
Onehunga mixes old villas and workers’ cottages with mid-century homes, new apartments and a large commercial area, so our work here covers everything from rewiring to industrial maintenance.

About Onehunga
Onehunga is one of Auckland’s oldest suburbs, on the northern shore of the Manukau Harbour. Onehunga Mall is the main shopping street, the suburb has its own train line to the city, and there is a large commercial and industrial area towards Penrose. Housing ranges from 1900s villas and cottages to state homes and new apartments.
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 rewire older homes, upgrade switchboards and install heat pumps. For local businesses we provide commercial and industrial maintenance, thermal imaging and fault-finding.
