Serving Grey Lynn and Central Auckland Since 1974
French Electrical has been based at 179c Harris Road, East Tamaki, since 1974, putting Grey Lynn and the wider Central Auckland area firmly within our home patch. Over five decades we’ve wired new subdivisions, rewired villas, and kept local businesses running, watching Grey Lynn grow from a working-class villa suburb into one of Auckland’s most sought-after inner-city communities. We also cover the surrounding suburbs of Ponsonby, Westmere, Kingsland, and Arch Hill, so a familiar face is never far away.
Every job starts with a free, no-obligation quote, and 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. It’s a straightforward way of working that Grey Lynn homeowners and local businesses have come to rely on.

About Grey Lynn
Grey Lynn is an inner suburb three kilometres west of Auckland’s CBD, known for its heritage villas, strong community character, and Pasifika roots. West Lynn Village on Richmond Road is a popular local hub for cafes and independent shops, and the suburb’s older housing stock means renovation and rewiring work is common.
