 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The job included : Supply and install a new 40way switchboard complete with RCD protection. Supply and install a new 16mm² mains cable. The staff were professional, respectful and friendly. I was happy with the job they did and have no hesitation in recommending them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Matt from Northern Lights replaced all the lighting in our house, and did an excellent job. Everything looks great and is lined up perfectly.

He was also really easy to deal with! Friendly, professional, and good to chat to. The whole process felt smooth from start to finish. Would definitely recommend.

Updating to say that Matt did such a great job, we requested he come out to do some outdoor lights for us. He again did such a stellar job! Very happy!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was very pleased with the work done. Ethan explained things to me clearly and just got on with the job. Very pleasant and very punctual. He also accurately conveyed to Ildi at the office what needed sourcing. I was also really impressed with how she kept me in the loop re the sourcing of the lights. When she said things would occur (like updates and arrival), they did indeed happen. It was also very clear from the start, and throughout, what charges would be incurred. I appreciated this straightforward approach. Northern Lights have been my electricians of choice and will continue to be.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a builder, I can’t overstate how much I value working with John and his team. No matter the size of the job—whether it’s a small bathroom renovation or a full-scale commercial project—they’re consistently reliable, punctual, and highly professional.

What really sets John apart is the support he provides on larger projects. His deep knowledge of NZ standards and codes of practice is invaluable during the planning and study stages, giving me confidence that every detail is covered.

From electrical services and data to heat pumps, solar panels, and more, this is a team you can count on as a true partner for both small and large projects.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service from start to finish. I wasn't too sure what tradie to call but Ildi was great on the phone and arranged same-day assistance, which was hugely appreciated. Hannes was professional, thorough, and took the time to explain everything clearly. He investigated the leaks from the kitchen light fittings, confirmed the electrical fittings were safe, and used his ladder to get up on the roof to clear the gutters while on site. The detailed notes and photos were really helpful too. Highly recommended!

Common questions

Straight answers

We get a lot of the same questions — so here are honest answers. If yours isn't here, just call us.

What does an electrician cost in Auckland?

−

Every job is different, but our pricing is fair, competitive, and reflects the quality and reliability of our workmanship. Our minimum charge includes the first hour on site and covers travel to your location. When you book a job with us, we'll email you a clear breakdown of our standard rates and any applicable charges as part of your confirmation. For smaller jobs, our standard hourly rates apply. For larger or more complex projects, we're happy to arrange a free quote.

Do you charge for quotes?

We offer free quotes for all commercial and certain types of residential jobs. To give you an accurate pricing, we may need to carry out a site visit or discuss the scope in more detail — this will always be communicated up front.

What's the difference between a CoC and ESC, and do I need one?

A Certificate of Compliance (COC) is issued for new electrical installations or major work and confirms that the job meets New Zealand's legal and safety requirements. An Electrical Safety Certificate (ESC) confirms that the work has been tested and is safe to use. Depending on the type of job, you may receive one or both documents. We'll always provide the correct certification to ensure your peace of mind and compliance with NZ electrical standards.

Do you charge for travel?

Our initial call-out fee includes travel within our standard Auckland service area. For additional visits, after-hours work, or remote locations, a small travel fee may apply — but we'll always let you know in advance as part of your booking confirmation.

How are materials charged?

We supply high-quality materials that meet all relevant New Zealand standards and are covered by both product and workmanship warranties. This ensures the job is done right the first time — with no surprises later. To guarantee compliance and safety, we generally do not install customer-supplied materials. However, lighting fixtures — such as decorative pendants, feature lights, or other specialty fittings — can be selected and supplied by the customer, as these often require personal aesthetic choices. We're happy to install these as part of your project.

Do you cover all of Auckland?

Yes. We're based in Onehunga and work right across Auckland: North Shore, Central, East, West and South Auckland. See all Auckland areas we cover.
