5 Things An Electrician Can Do For Your Home You Probably Didn’t Know About

You might be surprised at the range of tasks our electricians can undertake. They can perform a huge range of tasks that may exceed what you would expect them to do. The team at French Electrical excel in various specialties from heat pump and aircon installation, to lighting and wiring, and much more. Here are five lesser-known specialty areas our electricians are highly trained in.

Data, TV, and Intercom

Our electricians can install high-quality audio-visual systems in your Auckland home. From running new electrical circuits and wiring to installing power outlets and wall plates, configuring the electrical system to provide proper power and grounding, and integrating the audio-visual systems with an existing smart home system. With the knowledge of setting up speakers, amplifiers, and other audio equipment, configuring and programming video displays, and other video equipment, our team can do it all.

Electric Vehicle Charging

A relatively new feature to homes is an EV charging system. Electric vehicle charging stations require electrical wiring and specific circuits to be installed. French Electrical can provide the installation of necessary circuits to support the EV charger, and make sure that the installation is done in a safe and compliant manner with local building codes. We will also be able to advise on the best location for the EV charger and the type of charger that is suitable for your vehicle to keep your car fully charged.

Solar Power

French Electrical has sustainable and renewable energy options to transform your home into an eco-friendly and energy-efficient property with solar power solutions. Choose a cheaper and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional energy methods by asking us about solar power options for your home.

Security Systems and CCTV

We understand the importance of a secure home, which is why our registered master electricians are skilled in the installation of a wide range of security devices. Rely on our team to determine the best locations for mounting security devices and running new circuits and wiring for a safe and secure home.

Home Cinema Installation

Create an immersive space to watch the latest blockbusters, TV news, and sports events with a home theatre installation from French Electrical. At some point or another, we’ve all dreamed of having our own cinematic experience at home.
