Highlights
“Awesome Friendly Service. Only had a cable to be tested and tagged. Called them, they called back within minutes. I was able to go immediately to Onehunga and have the cable tested while I waited.”
“Matt & Nick arrived on the appointed day and discussed the job with us. Matt was the principal electrician onsite and worked diligently over the course of two days to get the work done. I was really impressed at how he did all the work without disrupting anyone in the office. Matt was a really nice guy and consulted with me on the work being done to ensure it was what we wanted. I highly recommend Northern Lights Electrical to anyone looking for a professional and timely job to be done. And”
Detailed reviews
Would highly recommend and will be using Northern Lights again. They turned up on time, did the work and even followed up the next day to check they'd put something back in its place.
Good service from my initial contact with the company to completion of the work. I had only a small job but it was completed efficiently, on time and with no hassle.
From the start to the end, it was a satisfying experience. Making the appointment with Libby was correct and Nick the electrician showed up on time. Very polite, very informative and competent. When job was finished full explanation on the situation and details of the job! I will contact you again!
These guys responded very quickly to an urgent fault affecting our business operation. They identified the issue and the fix very quickly. Very impressive service and highly recommended.
I have used Northern Lights for over ten years for work at our home as well on several rental properties that we own. John is excellent with communication, quality of work and attention to detail. John is also great at finding ingenious solutions to problems. I have no hesitation in recommending him for any electrical work whatsoever that may need doing.

We had Hannes from Northern Lights come and get our house prepared for Chorus to complete their fibre work. This involved running the fibre cable in our roof down to our TV. He also repaired some broken ducting. He was super helpful and let us know exactly what was happening. Would totally recommend again.
The process was painless. The several electricians doing the complete electrical connection of the house I was renovating were friendly and easy to communicate with. It's obvious they know very well their trade and I fill happy with the result.
I found Northern lights on google, from the first phone conversation with Libby to the work being completed they were 100% professional and friendly. A very satisfied customer. Nann Burnes
Northern Lights were fantastic. From quote stage through to final job completion everything went smoothly. We had several people quote the project but John at Northern Lights really understood the project from the get go. The team that did the work were excellent. We're very happy with the end result.
They got the job done, everything worked, and it was done professionally, cleanly, and on time. Everyone I spoke to was friendly and helpful. Quality, reliability, and good reputation were my deciding factors in going with Northern Lights.
Excellent service. Great job Still will need them after kitchen is in
John and his team did a fantastic job in a server room project for me rewiring a switchboard, adding new circuits and modifying existing circuits all done safely with the 5 rack server room running live and uninterrupted.
