OUR RESIDENTIAL ELECTRICIAN TESTIMONIALS
YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
FAQs - our residential Work
Is your work covered by a warranty or guarantee?
Yes. All residential electrical work is backed by a workmanship guarantee and compliant with New Zealand’s electrical safety regulations. We stand by the quality of our installations and repairs, giving you peace of mind long after the job is done.
Do I need to be home during the work?
Not always. For smaller jobs, you may not need to be home if access is arranged in advance. For larger installations or repairs, we prefer to walk you through the job beforehand and ensure everything is signed off after completion.
What types of homes do you work on?
We service all types of residential properties across Christchurch, including standalone homes, townhouses, apartments, and new builds. We’re also experienced in working on older homes that may require wiring upgrades or electrical safety checks.
Do you provide electrical safety inspections for Christchurch homes?
Yes, we offer comprehensive electrical safety inspections for homeowners, landlords, and property managers in Christchurch. These are ideal if you’re buying or selling a home, renovating, or simply want to ensure your system meets current safety standards. For rental properties, we also provide smoke alarm installation and compliance services to meet NZ regulations.
Can you help with upgrading old electrical systems in older Christchurch homes?
Absolutely. Many older Christchurch homes still have outdated wiring or fuse boxes. We specialise in upgrading these systems to meet modern electrical standards, improving both safety and energy efficiency without compromising the character of the home.
How soon can you get to my property in Christchurch?
Our response times vary depending on your location and the urgency of the job, but we aim to attend most residential callouts in Christchurch within 24 hours. For urgent electrical issues, we prioritise same-day service where possible.
How much does a residential electrician cost in Christchurch?
The cost of a residential electrician in Christchurch varies depending on the scope of the job. A standard callout typically starts from around $80–$120, with hourly rates between $80–$110 + GST. Larger jobs like switchboard upgrades, full rewires, or new installations are quoted individually based on materials and time required. We always provide a clear, upfront quote before starting work so there are no surprises.
Do you offer emergency or after-hours electrical callouts in Christchurch?
Yes, we understand that electrical emergencies don’t always happen during business hours. If you’re experiencing a dangerous situation such as sparking, burning smells, or a complete loss of power, contact us immediately. We do our best to arrange urgent callouts across Christchurch as quickly as possible, including evenings and weekends where availability allows.
What should I do if I have a power outage at home?
First, check your switchboard for any tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses and try resetting them. If the power doesn’t come back, check with your neighbours to see if the outage is localised to your property. If it’s just your home, it’s likely an internal electrical fault that needs professional attention. Avoid touching any exposed wiring and call a licensed electrician for safe diagnosis and repair.
Do you provide a certificate of compliance (COC) for electrical work?
Yes, all prescribed electrical work carried out by BT Electrical Solutions is accompanied by a certificate of compliance (COC) as required by New Zealand law. This certifies that the work has been completed safely and in accordance with AS/NZS 3000 wiring standards. We also lodge the necessary paperwork with the relevant authorities on your behalf.
