Serving Howick and East Auckland Since 1974
French Electrical has been based at 179c Harris Road, East Tamaki, since 1974, putting Howick and the wider East Auckland area firmly within our home patch. Over five decades we’ve wired new subdivisions, rewired villas, and kept local businesses running, watching Howick grow from a seaside village into one of Auckland’s largest residential hubs. We also cover the surrounding suburbs of Pakuranga, Botany, Bucklands Beach, Mission Bay, St Heliers, Flat Bush, and Beachlands, 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 Howick homeowners and local businesses have come to rely on.

About Howick
Howick is one of Auckland’s largest and most established suburbs, sitting on the coast in the city’s east. Once a separate borough with its own council, Howick retains a strong village character around its historic town centre, while newer growth has extended the suburb toward Botany and Flat Bush. This mix of heritage villas, mid-century homes, and modern builds means our electricians handle everything from careful rewires in older properties to full fit-outs in new subdivisions.
French Electrical carries out electrical work throughout Howick and the surrounding East Auckland suburbs of Pakuranga, Botany, Bucklands Beach, Flat Bush, Beachlands, and Maraetai for residential, commercial, and industrial clients alike.
