Electrical and heating work in Hororata

The Hororata area has plenty of older homes and rural properties, and many have wiring and switchboards that have been in place for a long time. Alongside heat pumps and lighting, a lot of the value we add out here is making older homes safer.

Is your wiring due for a check?

Signs your home could use an electrical check-up: an old fuse board with ceramic fuses, no RCD safety switch, lights that flicker, power points that feel warm, or switches that trip for no obvious reason. We'll check it over, explain what we find in plain English, and give you a clear quote for anything that needs doing.

Hororata electrician FAQs

Do you cover Hororata?

Yes. Hororata is about 20 minutes from our Darfield base. We also cover Glentunnel, Coalgate, Whitecliffs and the surrounding rural area.

What is an RCD and do I need one?

An RCD (residual current device) is a safety switch that cuts the power in a split second if it detects current leaking to earth, for example through a person. Many older homes don't have them. Adding RCD protection, usually as part of a switchboard upgrade, is one of the best safety improvements you can make.

Do you install heat pumps in Hororata?

Yes. We supply and install heat pumps and air conditioning in Hororata, including all the electrical work, and size each unit for how cold Canterbury winters really get.
