Serving Grey Lynn and Central Auckland Since 1974
French Electrical has been based in East Tamaki since 1974, and we work across Grey Lynn and the inner-west suburbs.
Grey Lynn is full of villas and bungalows from the early 1900s, many of them renovated more than once. That makes rewiring, switchboard upgrades and lighting for renovations the core of our work here.

About Grey Lynn
Grey Lynn is an inner-west suburb known for its villas, bungalows and character streets, with Grey Lynn Park at its centre. Many homes were built between the 1890s and 1930s and sit in character overlay areas.
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. Older villas also often have small switchboards and earlier DIY additions. We rewire during renovations, upgrade switchboards, design lighting for open-plan extensions, and install heat pumps and ventilation to deal with damp.

Electrician Grey Lynn — FAQs
Do you service Grey Lynn?
Yes. We cover Grey Lynn along with Ponsonby, Westmere, Kingsland, Herne Bay and Arch Hill. We keep an electrician on call 24/7 on 09 274 8082.
How much does an electrician cost in Grey Lynn?
Standard callouts are $160 + GST for the first hour, then $30 + GST per 15 minutes, and installation quotes are free. Travel is charged by zone, based on distance from our Harris Road depot: Zone 1 (within 10 km) is $30 + GST, and the rate rises slightly for each zone beyond that. We confirm the travel charge for Grey Lynn when you book, and full rates are on our pricing page.
My Grey Lynn villa was renovated years ago. Is the wiring OK?
Possibly, but older renovations often left sections of original wiring in place, and some have unpermitted DIY work. An Electrical WoF inspection will show what is safe and what needs replacing.
