Tell us what's going on
Pick the closest kind of job, say how soon you need it and give your postcode. A few words about the problem help, but they're optional. Then leave your first name and mobile, plus an email if you'd like things in writing.
We check a couple of things first
We check your mobile number is real. Automated tools read your message to estimate how big the job is, so it reaches someone who handles that size of work.
Local electricians see the job, not your details
Electricians who cover your suburb and do that kind of work can see the job, your first name and your suburb. Your mobile and email stay hidden.
One electrician takes it
The first to take your job gets your first name, mobile, email and message, and nobody else ever does. If nobody nearby has taken it after two days, electricians elsewhere in your region may see it on the same terms.
They get in touch and quote
Talk it through, book a visit if the job needs one, and ask for a written quote. You're under no obligation to say yes.
The work, then the paperwork
Every job of prescribed electrical work comes with an Electrical Safety Certificate (ESC). New circuits and rewires get a Certificate of Compliance (CoC) as well, and high-risk work, like mains work or a higher-capacity switchboard, also needs a Record of Inspection from a licensed electrical inspector. Your electrician has to issue them as soon as possible after finishing.
What we check before anyone sees your job
Each electrician's practising licence and registration class on the Electrical Workers Registration Board (EWRB) public register, their insurance, their NZBN, and evidence of the jobs they do regularly. How we check electricians has the detail, including what we turn people away for.
What we don't do
We don't quote, visit, supervise or sign off any electrical work. We're not electricians and never present ourselves as electricians, which matters here: in New Zealand it's an offence for someone unlicensed to claim to be licensed.
We can't send anyone in an emergency either. Fire, smoke or someone hurt is a 111 call. If there are burn marks, a strange smell or crackling at your switchboard, don't touch it and contact your lines company straight away. A power cut is for your power company or lines company, not an electrician.
Where we're up to
We're new, and we're starting in Auckland, so there'll be places we can't cover for a while. There are no reviews or finished jobs on the site yet, and we'll keep saying so until there are. If something isn't answered here, get in touch.
