“Nigel re-wired my 1940's house, under budget, to code, extremely professional all round. He's a bloody hard worker, thorough, straight to the point. Nigel appears to dislike short cuts and dicky work as he found screeds of it in our old house and put it right. I would hire him again and recommend others to do so without hesitation. ”

About Auckland Switchboards

Owner Nigel Maclaurin has electrical experience that spans 40 years covering domestic, commercial and heavy industrial job sites all over Auckland and beyond. His training as an apprentice in the late 80’s was of a very high standard with a heavy industrial company, and he has carried this high standard throughout his working career. He’s worked on just about everything from domestic new builds, to the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London, to the Glenbrook Steel Mill in Waiuku, to many of Auckland’s high-rise buildings, just to name a few. “Do it right the first time” is a motto that Nigel believes in wholeheartedly.

Switchboards

Switchboards age just like everything else and need to be maintained for optimal electrical safety. Safety is forefront when considering an install or an upgrade, but cosmetics and functionality do play a role in the decision-making process in an upgrade as well.

Over time and we’re talking decades, switchboards generally end up being a jumbled mess of wires, as electrician after electrician adds a circuit here and a circuit there. Decades down the track your switchboard looks nothing like what it did when it was first built. So like many other things in life keeping things tidy has a flow on effect. At Auckland Switchboards we pride ourselves in perfection with tidy cable work, everything in line and continuity throughout. Trust us to enrich your life with a new Switchboard.

Testing and Certification

Testing and certification is the final step in making your home as safe as it can be. Not only is it mandatory under NZ law but it gives you, the customer, peace of mind so you can sleep at night. Knowing your new switchboard will protect you and your family when required is worth its weight in GOLD!

Electrical inspectors are responsible for any incoming mains up to the main switch of your switchboard including the meters. Electricians are responsible for anything beyond the main switch of your switchboard, and that’s the line of demarcation between an electrician and an electrical inspector. Both are responsible for testing their own work but an inspector will verify the electricians tests. The inspector provides a ‘Record of Inspection’ and the electrician provides a ‘Certificate of Compliance’. Both of these records should be kept in your files for seven years.
