Serving Somerville and East Auckland Since 1974

Somerville is a short drive from our depot at 179c Harris Road, East Tamaki, where French Electrical has been based since 1974.

Somerville is a small, mostly residential suburb between Howick and Botany, with homes built from the 1980s and 1990s. Many of those homes are now due for switchboard, lighting and heating upgrades.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I emailed this company at 9:30am because they were local and had been in the area for about 50 years. I received an email response within an hour and had an electrician on site by 11:30am. He, Nigel, assessed tour immediate needs and identified a major problem that needed replacing. Because of the location of the problem, Nigel needed assistance. Three electricians were now on site and they worked very efficiently to not only effect the necessary repairs, but ensured that the primary cause for the previous damage should not reoccur. The team packed up their equipment, tidied up and were on their way. A very professional team of tradesmen whom I would highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The socket our fridge plugs into stopped working (even when we tried plugging in other things to test it) and French electrical were able to come over to check it out within a few hours of me calling. When Noah arrived  he checked everything and couldn’t find anything wrong and it had started working again. But instead of just leaving it, he double checked behind the socket cover and all the wires as well as checking the switchboard and making sure everything was working well so that I could be confident that the fridge should be OK! Noah’s attention to detail meant that I felt reassured. I’d definitely book with them again for small or big jobs.

About Somerville

Somerville is a small residential suburb in East Auckland, between Howick, Botany and Dannemora. It is mostly family homes built from the 1980s and 1990s, with easy access to Howick Village and Botany Town Centre.

Homes of this age often still have their original switchboard, sometimes with old ceramic fuses or only one RCD. We commonly upgrade switchboards, replace old lighting with LEDs, add surge protection, and install heat pumps and home ventilation.
