Howick, Pakuranga, Botany, Parnell, Ponsonby & the Eastern Bays
Electrician East & Central Auckland
East & Central Auckland Electricians, Based in East Tamaki Since 1974
Our workshop is at 179c Harris Road, East Tamaki. East and Central Auckland are not service areas we expanded into; they are where we have been since 1974. Our vans are already this side of the motorway, which is why we can usually get to a Howick or Pakuranga callout the same day rather than the day after.
Across the eastern suburbs — Pakuranga, Highland Park, Flat Bush, Howick, Whitford, Bucklands Beach and the Eastern Bays — and through the central isthmus — Parnell, Newmarket, Epsom, Mt Eden, Ponsonby and Grey Lynn — we handle a genuinely mixed workload: office and retail fit-offs, villa and bungalow rewires, emergency and exit light testing across multi-block sites, switchboard and RCD upgrades, EV charger installation, and the everyday work of tripping circuits, extractor fans and garden lighting in houses right across both areas.
Every job starts with a free, no-obligation quote. If we are called out to investigate a fault that turns out to be outside our work, we will not charge a fault-finding fee.
