Goodbye Bad Electrical Service Forever

Goodbye Bad Electrical Service - Forever

Are you sick of poor service levels? Has your electrician let you down more than once? It’s a familiar story we hear often from our residential and business clients.

Poor Service Tick

Sometimes the electrician is hours late, sometimes they don’t turn up at all, you don’t trust them in your home, they don’t seem to know what they are doing, their workmanship is of poor quality or even worse - they leave the job incomplete or in a mess and you have to clean up!


We take pride in the work we do and the service we offer our clients, in fact the very foundation of our business is service - so if you are looking for an electrical company that treat others as they expect to be treated and do what they say they will do - Christchurch Electrical can help with that!



Good Service Makes The Difference Writing on Glass

“Jared and his team were fantastic on a project renovation. As an interior designer, I work with many trades and working with Jared is always so seamless and hassle-free, a clear favourite. They are always on time, communicative with myself and their staff. The end result is always perfect. Couldn’t recommend them more! Thanks - Modi Design.” - Georgia L.


“Communication was great, fast friendly polite, highly recommend these folk, always there on the spot when needed urgently, excellent job always done, phone service also could not get better, James arrived 6am Sunday morning, took an hour to do the job, was quick, efficient, friendly, cleaned up after himself. Great work.”– Dave Morgan

Finding An Electrician You Can Trust

Even though you may be able to do many home repairs on your own, electrical work should be left to the professionals. It is possible to cause a fire, shock, electrocution, or other injuries through faulty wiring. To ensure the quality of the work, you should hire a good, reliable electrician, but if you've previously had some bad experiences - how you can you find an electrician you can trust?


  1. Ask for recommendations - Friends, family and other trusted tradespeople maybe able to recommend a good electrician from experience
  2. Search for a Master Electrician - Master Electricians always thoroughly test their work, and when the job’s done you’ll get official certification and you also automatically get a $20,000 Workmanship Guarantee on all residential work to give you peace of mind
  3. Discuss their areas of expertise - What past experience do they have with your electrical requirements? Are you seeking a specific area of skill? New construction, renovation, architectural, exterior, thermography, solar etc. Or do you require an electrical firm that has extensive specialist knowledge in all areas (one point of call)?
  4. Check out their reviews/testimonials - Check out their Google reviews - is there an area of concern that is being highlighted (perhaps they always leave behind a messy site or unfinished work)
  5. Can you get hold of them - It's not unheard of for tradespeople to ignore phone calls/messages either intentionally or because they don't have the resource to respond - use a business you can reach, who are responsive to your enquiries and can guarantee the day that the electrician will be in attendance
  6. Emergency contact - keep the number of a reliable emergency, 24/7 electrician to hand.  When you are in an emergency situation, the last thing you have time to do is ring round to find someone suitable
  7. Call Christchurch Electrical! Trusted by Canterbury for over 65 years, Christchurch Electrical are Master Electrician's available 24/7 with a breadth of knowledge and experience across all areas of residential and commercial electrical services
