Electrical repairs and house rewiring

For electrical faults, Whitburn Electrical can assess the problem and recommend what needs to be repaired, replaced or upgraded. We work efficiently to find the cause of electrical issues and get things working safely and reliably again.
Older Dunedin homes can have wiring that is outdated, deteriorating or no longer suited to the electrical demands of a modern household. We provide complete or partial house rewiring in Dunedin, including upgrades as part of renovations or when you're adding new appliances, lighting, heating, entertainment or technology to your home.

Insurance work including rewiring

If your insurer requires electrical work or rewiring before providing or continuing cover for your home, talk to Whitburn Electrical. We can assess the electrical system and carry out the rewiring or upgrades required to help bring your home up to the necessary safety and insurance requirements.

Electrical safety checks home buyers can arrange before purchasing

If you're considering buying a home, an electrical safety check can help you understand the condition of its wiring before you commit to the purchase.
Whitburn Electrical provides pre-purchase electrical checks to identify faulty or outdated wiring and areas that may need to be repaired, upgraded or replaced. This can be particularly important in older homes where TRS or VIR conduit wiring may be present.
Knowing about potential electrical issues beforehand gives you a clearer picture of the property you're buying. Faulty or outdated wiring may also affect insurance, making an electrical check an important part of doing your homework before purchasing a home.

Heat pump installation

A well-positioned and correctly installed heat pump can provide efficient heating during Otago winters and cooling when temperatures rise.
Whitburn Electrical provides heat pump installation in homes, taking care of the electrical work and installation required to get your new system up and running. We can install heat pumps as part of a renovation or home upgrade, or as a standalone improvement to make your home more comfortable throughout the year.

Renovating or building?

Getting your electrician involved at the right stage of a renovation or new build can make a big difference. We can take care of the electrical work throughout the project, from wiring and switchboards through to lighting, heating, data, entertainment and home automation.
It also gives you the opportunity to think beyond what you need right now and plan your electrical system around how you want to use your home in the years ahead.
