Howick, Pakuranga, Botany, Bucklands Beach & the Eastern Bays
Electrician East Auckland
East Auckland Electricians, Based in East Tamaki Since 1974
Our workshop is at 179c Harris Road, East Tamaki. East Auckland isn’t a service area we expanded into; it’s where we’ve been since 1974. Our vans are already this side of the motorway, which is why we can usually get to a Howick or Pakuranga callout the same day rather than the day after.
East Auckland is also where most of our work actually sits. Across Pakuranga, Highland Park, Flat Bush, Howick, Whitford, Bucklands Beach and the Eastern Bays we handle a genuinely mixed workload: office and retail fit-offs, lift shaft lighting and stair-lift wiring checks, emergency and exit light testing across multi-block sites, ceiling heaters and nurse call upgrades in aged-care facilities, bore and septic pumps and generator testing on Whitford lifestyle blocks, intercoms and automatic gates in St Heliers, and the everyday work, tripping circuits, extractor fans, garden lighting and switchboards, in houses right across the area.
Every job starts with a free, no-obligation quote. If we’re called out to investigate a fault that turns out to be outside our work, we won’t charge a fault-finding fee.
