Master Electricians – Workmanship Guarantee
Master Electricians Quality Assured members can safeguard the quality of their workmanship and provide extra assurance to consumers with a $20,000 workmanship guarantee.
The guarantee is an integral part of the Master Electricians brand – our members are the only electricians in New Zealand who can offer consumers such assurance. Master Electricians will consider claims against the workmanship for residential prescribed electrical work carried out by a member.

- Member workmanship. Such workmanship must be remedied either by the original contractor or an alternative member as determined by the Master Electricians at its complete discretion
The Guarantee does not cover:
- Unpaid contracts or other pricing or payment disputes or claims
- A claim where further work or alterations or an attempt at remedial action are subsequently carried out without the knowledge and agreement of the original contractor
- Any occurrence that would normally be covered by usual householders insurance, professional indemnity, public liability insurance held by the member, or any other forms of insurance
