What electrical work do you carry out on farms?

We work on milking systems, water pumps, effluent equipment, backing gates, motors and controls. Our rural services also include switchboard upgrades, generator changeover installations and planned electrical maintenance, all organised around how your farm operates.

Can you help with an urgent milking shed or pump breakdown?

Yes. Call 09 435 0382 for our 24/7 breakdown service. Tell us whether the problem is affecting milking, stock water, effluent equipment or another essential system, along with your location and any fault indication. That helps us judge the urgency and bring what’s needed.

Do you provide preventative electrical maintenance for farms?

Yes. Farm maintenance can cover milking systems, water pumps, motors and backing gate controls. We plan the work around milking times, seasonal demands and shutdown opportunities, so wear and faults are fixed before they disrupt the farm.

Can you install a generator changeover for our farm?

Yes. We install generator changeovers so a suitable generator can power selected farm equipment during an outage. We work out which equipment needs to run, its starting demand and your existing supply before specifying the changeover and connection.

Do you service rural properties outside Whangārei?

Yes. We travel across Northland, from Mangawhai to Kaitāia, for rural repairs, maintenance and electrical projects. Let us know about gate access and where the equipment is on the property. For an urgent breakdown, phone 09 435 0382 to confirm attendance at your location.
