Serving Glen Innes and East Auckland Since 1974
French Electrical has been based in East Tamaki since 1974, a short drive across the Tamaki River from Glen Innes.
Glen Innes is changing fast. Many of its 1950s and 1960s state houses are being replaced with new homes and townhouses, so our work here ranges from making older homes safe to fitting out brand-new ones.

About Glen Innes
Glen Innes was developed mainly in the 1950s and 1960s as a state housing area, and is now part of one of Auckland’s largest regeneration projects, with older homes being replaced by new houses and terraces. The town centre and train station on the Eastern Line make it one of the best-connected suburbs in the east.
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. In older homes we often replace switchboards, add RCD protection and rewire where needed. In new builds we add power points, heat pumps and EV chargers. We also work for landlords on Healthy Homes heating and ventilation.
