Clean, smart, and future-ready ⚡️🔋

We recently completed this install in Rolleston featuring a Schneider Electric EV charger paired with a peak controller, helping this home charge smarter, not harder.

With solar already in place ☀️ and a new Jaecoo in the driveway 🚗, this setup maximises self-generated energy while keeping grid demand under control.

Thinking about EV charging or upgrading your energy setup? We can help you get it right.

A great result when thoughtful design and quality electrical work come together.

This kitchen features the Switch Lighting sLED Dome, delivering clean, natural light right where it’s needed most.

Christchurch Electrical was proud to bring this project to life:
🔹 Complete electrical work including Switch Lighting installation
🔹 Ducted air conditioning with AirTouch zone control
🔹 Security system

Always a pleasure working alongside Switch Lighting and Generation Homes Canterbury.

The Switch Lighting sLED Dome range has been designed as an economical lighting solution for everyday spaces, delivering quality illumination and reliable performance without compromise.

Installed in the bulkhead of this kitchen, the sLED Dome purposefully illuminates the benchtops and working areas with a high CRI 90 output, enhancing true and natural colour representation throughout the space.

Available in 2700K, 3000K, and 4000K colour temperatures, along with textured white and textured black trim options, the range offers flexibility to suit a variety of interiors and design styles.

A simple, effective lighting solution that proves practical lighting can still feel good.

⚡ 3AM Callout – Power Restored ⚡

Mornington Thai Cuisine lost power in the early hours, and we were on-site fast to diagnose the issue.
We uncovered serious faults including doubled-up circuits, arcing RCBOs/MCBs, and neutrals used as phases.

An emergency board replacement was completed at 5am the next morning to keep the business running, followed by further early-morning work to correct circuits and remove major risks. We also installed two fire suppressors in the switchboard to handle the high kitchen demand safely.

✅ Power restored
✅ Major faults fixed
✅ Business stayed open

Christchurch Electrical – here when it matters most.
