Electrical Fit-Outs for Orakei Renovations and Rebuilds
A large share of Orakei's housing is being renovated or replaced, particularly along Paritai Drive, Kupe Street and the streets overlooking Hobson Bay. Steve works alongside builders and designers on these projects, handling first-fix wiring, switchboard design, lighting circuits, data cabling and the final fit-off. Because he is an owner-operator, you get one point of contact from the initial walk-through to the Certificate of Compliance at the end.
EV Charger Installation in Orakei
With multi-car garages and off-street parking common in Orakei, home EV charging is one of Steve's most requested jobs. He installs dedicated 32A circuits for 7kW single-phase chargers, and three-phase supplies for 11kW or 22kW units where the property has the capacity. Load management is set up so the charger, pool heat pump and kitchen can all run at once. Steve installs all major brands including Tesla Wall Connector, Wallbox and myenergi Zappi.
Rewiring 1950s and 1960s Homes Around Orakei Basin
The brick-and-tile homes on Coates Avenue, Reihana Street and the slopes above Orakei Basin are now 60-70 years old, and many still have original rubber or early PVC wiring, unearthed lighting circuits and a fuse board with no RCD protection. Steve rewires these homes room by room or as a complete job during renovation, fitting a modern switchboard and enough circuits for today's appliances. Access is usually good through the ceiling and subfloor, which keeps disruption low.
Pool, Spa and Outdoor Living Wiring
Orakei's outdoor entertaining areas often include heated pools, spas, outdoor kitchens and extensive garden lighting. All of this needs to be wired to AS/NZS 3000 pool-zone requirements with correct bonding, RCD protection and weatherproof enclosures. Steve handles pool pump and heat pump supplies, spa isolators, outdoor power and low-voltage LED garden lighting as one coordinated installation.
