Beachlands Is Coastal Living: Outdoors, and Often on Its Own Services
Beachlands work is residential and coastal, and a decent share of it is on new builds and recently completed homes.
Real jobs from our records here: prewiring an outdoor kitchenette, kitchen alterations, installing sensors and TV brackets, shifting a switch and alarm keypad, replacing downlights and fixing wall lights, fault finding a water pump tripping its power, installing a toby box, and lamp replacement.
Outdoor living is the theme, kitchens, entertaining areas and lighting that has to survive salt air. And because a number of Beachlands properties run on their own water supply, a pump fault is an electrical fault as often as it is a plumbing one. Our PO Box is at Whitford next door.

Arrived to do the job promptly and did a quick efficient jobPosted on Google John TapeneTrustindex 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.Posted on Google Lianne MacLeodTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Marco was very fast and efficient. Will definitely use French Electrical for all future electrical work.Posted on Google Shannon DuffyTrustindex 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.Posted on Google Annette JacksonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First time using French Electricals. I will definitely be using this firm again. Efficient, polite, good info. about what to expect too.

Electrician Beachlands FAQs
Can you wire an outdoor kitchen or entertaining area?
Yes, outdoor kitchenette prewires and fit-offs are work we’ve done in Beachlands, including weather-rated power and lighting that will stand up to coastal air. Call 09 274 8082.
Our water pump keeps tripping the power. Is that electrical?
Often, yes. Pump power tripping is a job we’ve done here; it can be the pump, the protection device or the supply, and it needs fault finding rather than guesswork.
Do you do warranty and remedial work on new builds?
Yes, including for group builders, sensors, lighting, alterations and finishing work on recently completed homes.
