Electricians in Takapuna

Ballard Services is a Devonport electrical business covering Takapuna, a straight run up Lake Road from our base. We handle switchboard upgrades, electrical inspections and compliance reports, and EV charging, with every job certified by our own Registered Electrical Inspector.

Takapuna homes we work on

Takapuna’s housing stock is the most mixed on the Shore. Apartment towers and townhouse blocks sit a street away from beachfront homes, with a band of 1960s and 70s units in between that are quietly running switchboards from their construction era. Each type generates its own electrical work, and we do all of it from ten minutes down the road.

For apartments and units, the routine work is compliance: switchboard reports for body corporates, inspection reports for landlords and property managers, and the remedial upgrades that follow. Older unit boards with rewireable fuses and no RCD protection are common, and they are exactly the boards insurers are starting to ask questions about.

Along the beach and on the fringes, the work runs premium: renovation electrical, architectural lighting, solar on the bigger roofs, and EV charging. In shared parking, a charger is a design problem involving metering, load management and body corporate sign-off, which suits a firm whose specialty is awkward installs. The commercial strip brings fit-out and maintenance work for shops and hospitality on top.

Takapuna questions

Can you install EV chargers in Takapuna apartment buildings?

Yes. Shared basements and body corporate approval make apartment charging a design job rather than a plug-in job: metering, load management and cable routes all have to be agreed before anything goes on a wall. We handle the technical case for the body corporate as part of the work.

Do you do landlord and body corporate compliance work?

Yes. Switchboard reports, inspection reports and remedial work for rental units and apartment buildings, issued in-house by our own Registered Electrical Inspector. Property managers get one contact for the report and the fix.

How quickly can you get to Takapuna?

Takapuna is a straight run up Lake Road from our Devonport base, so we are usually on site within the hour of a scheduled slot. You are not paying for an electrician to cross the bridge.

Do you do commercial electrical work in Takapuna?

Yes. Fit-outs, maintenance and compliance work for shops and hospitality on the Takapuna strip, including commercial switchboard reports issued by our in-house Registered Electrical Inspector.
