Serving Onehunga and Central Auckland Since 1974
French Electrical has been based at 179c Harris Road, East Tamaki, since 1974, putting Onehunga 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 Onehunga grow from one of Auckland’s oldest town centres into a thriving mix of established homes and new apartments. We also cover the surrounding suburbs of Penrose, Royal Oak, Mt Smart, and Hillsborough, 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 Onehunga homeowners and local businesses have come to rely on.
