Electrician Ponsonby

Serving Ponsonby and Central Auckland Since 1974

French Electrical has been based in East Tamaki since 1974, and we work across Ponsonby’s homes and businesses.

Ponsonby is known for its villas and for Ponsonby Road’s restaurants, bars and boutiques. That means a mix of character-home rewiring and commercial fit-outs for hospitality and retail.

Sam arrived at my home right on time, assessed the work that needed to be done, went away and brought the appropriate light fittings, installed them, tested them, and cleaned up the mess he had made. Very efficient service.  I would definitely use this firm again.

About Ponsonby

Ponsonby is an inner-west suburb centred on Ponsonby Road, one of Auckland’s busiest hospitality and retail strips. Most homes are villas and cottages built from the 1880s to the 1920s, many 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. For homes we rewire during renovations, upgrade switchboards and design lighting. For restaurants, bars and shops we handle fit-outs, commercial lighting, kitchen power and emergency lighting testing.
