Serving Penrose and Central Auckland Since 1974
French Electrical has been based in East Tamaki since 1974, and Penrose is one of the main industrial areas we work in.
Penrose is mostly factories, warehouses and commercial premises. That means our work here is mainly planned maintenance, breakdown callouts, fit-outs and compliance for businesses, along with the homes on its residential edge.
