Serving Glen Innes and East Auckland Since 1974
French Electrical has been based in East Tamaki since 1974, a short drive across the Tamaki River from Glen Innes.
Glen Innes is changing fast. Many of its 1950s and 1960s state houses are being replaced with new homes and townhouses, so our work here ranges from making older homes safe to fitting out brand-new ones.

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![]()

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![]()

About Glen Innes
Glen Innes was developed mainly in the 1950s and 1960s as a state housing area, and is now part of one of Auckland’s largest regeneration projects, with older homes being replaced by new houses and terraces. The town centre and train station on the Eastern Line make it one of the best-connected suburbs in the east.
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. In older homes we often replace switchboards, add RCD protection and rewire where needed. In new builds we add power points, heat pumps and EV chargers. We also work for landlords on Healthy Homes heating and ventilation.
