    Questions & answers

    What areas do you service?

    We’re based in Marlborough and service Blenheim / Kaikoura and surrounding areas , including the Marlborough Sounds (with our own service vessel). If you’re not sure whether we cover your location, flick us the address and we’ll confirm.

    How does pricing work?

    We price based on the scope, access, and compliance requirements. Small jobs are often time + materials. Larger work is typically a fixed quote. Either way — you’ll know what you’re up for before we start (no surprise invoices).

    What do you need from me to quote accurately?

    Any of these help heaps:

    • A few clear photos of the area (switchboard, ceiling access, existing lights/outlets)
    • Your address and best contact number
    • A short description of what you want done
    • For renovations/new builds: plans + electrical layout if available

     What does “energy-efficient electrical” actually mean?

    What does “energy-efficient electrical” actually mean?

     It means using smarter electrical design and equipment so your home uses less power to do the same job — without sacrificing comfort.

    That can include LED lighting, efficient hot water control, load management, modern switchboards, EV-ready circuits, and designing systems that don’t fight each other.

    Is energy efficiency only worth it if I have solar?

    Nope. Solar helps, but efficiency comes first.

    Reducing waste, shifting loads, and upgrading old gear often delivers faster payback than adding generation.

    Can energy efficiency upgrades really reduce power bills?

    Yes — especially in NZ homes with:

    • Older lighting
    • No hot water control
    • Aging switchboards
    • Inefficient appliances
    • Coastal corrosion causing losses

    We focus on upgrades that actually move the needle, not gimmicks.

    What is load management?

    It’s about controlling how and when large electrical loads run so they don’t overload your supply or run at expensive times. Think EV charging, hot water, heat pumps — all working with your supply, not against it.

    Are LED lights really that much better?

    Yes. LEDs use up to 80% less energy, last years longer, and produce less heat. The key is correct fittings, drivers, and spacing — not just swapping bulbs.

    Is home EV charging energy-efficient?

     Yes — if installed correctly. Home charging is far cheaper than public fast chargers and can be load-managed to avoid peak demand.

     Yes — if installed correctly. Home charging is far cheaper than public fast chargers and can be load-managed to avoid peak demand.

    Can EV charging be controlled to reduce power costs?

    Yes. We can install chargers that:

    • Charge at off-peak times
    • Balance with other loads
    • Avoid overloading your supply
