New builds – both homes or business premises – can be extremely stressful, time consuming and riddled with costly oversights as a result of poor planning or foresight. This is why it is essential to have a trusted electrical expert walk you through every step in the process – from poring over the drawings and plans, to leading you on walkthroughs of the build site to the finished build itself.
AB Electrical has established itself as the premiere electrical and lighting specialist in Auckland with well over 400 successfully completed new builds and renovations under our belt. In 2016 we won the acclaimed Lighting Design Award and we continue to offer our clients the highest level of technical expertise coupled with hand-holding guidance through each and every step of the build process.
Specializing in medium to high spec homes our North Shore electricians can help you make the right choice for indoor, general or specialised lighting. We can fit our electrical work to your new build’s specific style by adding unique features and fixtures of elegance. Our electricians can also assist with making your outdoor entertaining area a stunning location to host your family and friends.
Bring your vision to light – step by step
Our highly trained team of master electricians will guide you through the entire build process ensuring that your vision for your dream home or business is literally brought to light. What sets AB Electrical apart is our time-tested ability to honor the individually unique stylistic needs and wants of each valued customer. Having walked literally hundreds of new home builders and business owners through their builds – which ranged from low spec homes to high spec, intricately complex commercial builds and expansive, award winning decorative lighting builds on magazine worthy homes – we know where and how we can create the most value.
Our friendly staff are standing by to welcome you into our showroom anytime for a demonstration and to experience the highest quality in home lighting firsthand. We would love to chat with you about what is possible for the type of build you are looking to undertake, listen to your ideas as well as offer a few of our own.
Plan painlessly – Let us take care of the details
We pride ourselves in being able to answer our clients every question, query or concern -from which fittings to use, where to place power-points, which products to install and how and where to lay provisional wiring for future plans – like the swimming pool you want to build in a few years, the home entertainment system you can’t afford just yet or landscaping plans you have for the future.
A systems-based approach that maximizes efficiency and eliminates wastage
The underlying secret to our growing success as Auckland electricians is our adherence to a strict systems-based approach designed to maximize efficiency, reduce costs and ramp up performance and customer satisfaction. It is an approach we have developed, refined and perfected over the course of the hundreds of builds and refits we have successfully completed throughout the Auckland region.
All of our North Shore electricians ensure each and every step in the build process is covered by always adhering to our AB Electrical checklist. It’s a failsafe that ensures no corners are cut, nothing is overlooked or forgotten and that every detail of the build is carried out to precision.
By the book – how we go above and beyond
Every client of ours receives an ‘As Built’ booklet upon completion of your project. This book is basically the DNA blueprint of your homes electrical makeup and contains all the technical and detailed information any future electrician will ever require when working on your home. The AB booklet contains all the specs of the fitting used, information on resetting RCD’s, the electrical plan with full circuitry outlined, warranty information as well as a USB drive detailing the photo progression of the build on your home.
Key considerations with your new build:
Provisional wiring for exterior lighting, spa’s swimming pools tool shed’s
Underfloor heating
USB outlets
Sensors that control lighting throughout your house
Data outlets
Some of our most sought-after services for new builds include:
Electrical
AV Systems
Air conditioning
Intercoms
Alarms
CCTV
Underfloor heating
Ensure that your vision for your dream home or business is brought to light.

I had a faulty light switch connecting to a heat lamp/fan unit in the bathroom. The switch generated sparks when it was turned on. I submitted an online service request to AB Electrical. I received a return call within 10 mins and Mark the electrician arrived at my home shortly afterwards. The problem was dealt with efficiently by replacing the switch unit. AB Electrical has a good team to handle the booking and on site work. A big thanks to Mark and the office administrator!

Last week, we had 9 Led downlights installed by AB Electrical Holdings Ltd. We are very pleased with the led downlights installed – it makes a big difference with lighting.
We are impressed when dealing with Clynton in terms of getting a quote and making an appointment.
We are very impressed with the electrician called Tom as he was very professional and efficient. He made our day, as he was so polite, friendly with a big smiley face and did a perfect job. A1+++ We even told him how nice he was.
We would highly recommend AB Electrical to anyone. Thank you for your great customer services.
Our best regards,
Natalie and Bill

Mark from AB Electrical did an excellent job and made the whole process easy from start to finish. He was warm, friendly, professional, and very thorough with the work. His workmanship was tidy, and he took the time to clearly explain the best options for our EV charger installation and what we should consider moving forward.
Howard was also extremely thorough during the initial assessment, providing helpful advice on the most suitable products and discussing the various options available for our home installation. His knowledge and recommendations gave us confidence that we were making the right decision.

Clynton and the boys did an amazing job with our switch board upgrade and various other jobs(including smart switches) to bring our old house up to modern standards. Clynton even got the asbestos issue resolved at a great price. All electricians (Mark, Joe) were very professional and the price was the best I could find around and they stayed with the price even when things changed. Thanks for all the hard work guys.
