We Know Orewa's Homes
Orewa has some of the oldest housing stock on the Coast, and that matters for electrical work. Along the beachfront and Riverside Road you will find original baches and holiday homes, many with dated wiring and old fuse boards that were never built for today's heat pumps, dishwashers and EV chargers. Step back from the beach and there are 1980s and 90s brick-and-tiles, plus newer townhouses and retirement living around Nukumea and the Western Reserve. Salt air near the beach is hard on outdoor fittings too, so we see plenty of tired exterior points and lights.
What We Do in Orewa
Older homes are our bread and butter here, so rewires and switchboard upgrades come up often. Swapping an old fuse box for a modern board with RCD protection is one of the best safety upgrades an Orewa homeowner can make, and see our Residential Electrical Services for the full picture. We also fit power points, LED lighting, and weatherproof outdoor and spa power built to handle the sea air. For the cafes and shops along the main street we do commercial fit-outs, maintenance and test and tag.

Frequently asked questions
Very likely yes. Many older Orewa baches and beachfront homes still run ceramic fuses or early switchboards with no RCD protection, which is the safety device that cuts power fast enough to prevent a serious shock. If your board still uses rewireable fuses, trips often, or has no RCDs, an upgrade is well worth it, especially before adding heat pumps or an EV charger. We will take a look, explain your options plainly, and give you a free estimate. Call 09 390 9884.
Yes, rewires are one of the jobs we do most in Orewa. Older baches and holiday homes often have a patchwork of wiring added over decades, and salt air near the beach ages cabling and fittings faster than inland. We can rewire room by room or the whole house, upgrade the switchboard at the same time, and issue the compliance paperwork. As Registered Master Electricians the work is done safely and properly, and we always tidy up before we leave.
Yes. Orewa's beachfront location means outdoor fittings take a hammering from salt and moisture, so we use weatherproof, corrosion-resistant gear rated for the job rather than cheap fittings that rust out in a season. Whether it is a spa pool, an outdoor kitchen, garden lighting or a weatherproof power point by the deck, we install it to New Zealand standards on a properly protected circuit.
