🌿 Brighten up the outdoor entertaining! 💡

This new covered deck in Cambridge was looking for a little more light, so we installed a new 1500mm IP-rated LED batten.

The IP-rated fitting is a practical choice for a covered outdoor area, providing protection from the conditions while delivering plenty of bright, even light across the deck.

Now there's enough light for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying the space well into the evening. 💡🍻

Another happy customer with a brighter outdoor entertaining area. ⚡

📶 Moved house and your internet isn't working? We can help with that too! ⚡

A recent customer had just moved into their new home and discovered their internet wasn't working. The previous occupants had taken the power pack for the fibre ONT with them, leaving the customer with no way to power it up and connect their modem.

We got everything sorted from there:

🔌 Picked up a replacement ONT power pack from Tuatahi First Fibre
🌐 Connected the ONT to the modem with a new Cat6 Ethernet lead
⚙️ Reconfigured the modem to use the fibre Ethernet connection
📶 Set up and renamed the 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi networks
🔐 Changed the WiFi passwords to something personal for the family
☎️ Got the home landline working correctly too

It's not your typical electrical job, but getting your home connected and your technology working properly is becoming just as important as the power itself.

At Volt City Electrical, we can also help with home office, data and WiFi installations and troubleshooting.

If you've moved into a new home and your internet setup isn't quite behaving, give us a call. ⚡

A quick update from Volt City Electrical

I'll be taking a short break and will be closed until Monday 03/08/26 while I head to Wellington to spend some time with family and celebrate my birthday.

I'd like to thank all of my customers for your support and I'm looking forward to coming back refreshed and ready to get stuck into the next job.

If you've sent through an enquiry while I'm away, I'll get back to you as soon as I return.

See you then! ⚡

⚡ Out with the old, in with induction! 🍳

We recently helped a customer upgrade from a faulty freestanding oven to a brand-new induction model, giving their kitchen a fresh new look and modern cooking performance.
To safely supply the new appliance, we:
⚡ Ran a new 10mm² dedicated power circuit
⚡ Installed a new RCBO in the switchboard for individual circuit protection
⚡ Connected and tested the new oven, ensuring everything was operating safely and compliantly

Induction cooking has become a popular choice for many homeowners thanks to its fast heat-up times, precise temperature control, and easy-to-clean cooktop.

Behind every great appliance installation is safe electrical work that you can't see, making sure it performs reliably for years to come.

Another happy customer and another quality installation completed.

⚡ Bringing an older garage setup into the modern day 🔧

This garage had an older style metal sub board that was ready for an upgrade.

We replaced it with a modern enclosure featuring:
⚡ A dedicated isolation switch for easier maintenance and safety
⚡ Individual RCBO protection for both the lighting and power circuits
⚡ New conduit to protect and tidy up the wiring to the light switch and outgoing circuits

The original wiring was run as exposed TPS, so enclosing it in conduit has given the installation a much cleaner finish while adding extra protection.

Small upgrades like this can make a big difference to the safety, reliability, and appearance of your electrical installation.

⚡ A 240 km round trip for one happy customer!

Most of our work keeps us busy around Hamilton and the Waikato, but today we hit the road for Auckland to help out one of our long-time customers with some electrical work.

Job done, customer happy, and before heading back south we couldn't resist grabbing a quick photo of the Sky Tower. 🏙️

It was a full day's work, and a late drive home, but looking after our customers is always worth it.

Now it's back to Hamilton and ready for another busy week! ⚡

Check out the upgraded lighting in this Hamilton garage by replacing two older 1500mm batten lights with modern LED battens.

While lighting upgrades might seem simple, they can make a huge difference to how a space feels and functions. Whether you're parking the car, working on a project, or looking for tools, good lighting makes every task easier.

Why upgrade to modern LED battens? 👇

⚡ Brighter, more even light output
⚡ Lower energy consumption
⚡ Longer lifespan than older fittings
⚡ Reduced maintenance and lamp replacements
⚡ Clean, modern appearance

The result is a brighter, more usable garage with efficient lighting that's built to last.

⚡ Hot water upgrades are getting smarter 🚿

We recently helped a customer make the switch from a gas califont to a modern external hot water cylinder setup.

For this install, we ran a brand-new dedicated circuit directly from the switchboard through to a local isolation switch before connecting the new hot water system safely and compliantly.

Why are more homeowners making the change to heat pump hot water systems? 👇

💧 Extremely energy efficient compared to traditional electric cylinders
💧 Reliable hot water for busy households
💧 Quieter and more compact than older systems
💧 Designed to handle New Zealand conditions year-round
💧 Great option for homes looking to modernise their hot water setup

Dedicated circuits are important for appliances like these because they ensure the system has the correct protection, isolation, and power supply to operate safely and reliably.

Is your home’s safety stuck in the past? 🛑⚡

Another day, another switchboard upgrade here in Hamilton! 🛠️

We replaced these dated MCBs with a modern, fully compliant setup built for today’s high-demand homes.

The big difference? Those old MCBs (in the first photo) were designed to protect your cables from overheating, but they don't offer the same level of people protection as modern RCBOs.

By upgrading to individual RCBOs for every circuit (in the second photo), we’ve given this home the "Gold Standard" of protection.

Why this upgrade is a game-changer:
⚡ Total Protection: RCBOs monitor for "earth leakage"—they trip in milliseconds if they detect a fault, preventing potentially fatal shocks.
⚡ Better Fire Safety: Modern components are far more sensitive to overloads from high-power appliances like heat pumps and EVs.
⚡ Smart Isolation: If one circuit has a fault, only that switch trips. You won't be left in total darkness hunting for a torch!
⚡ Insurance & Compliance: All work is done to AS/NZS 3000 standards, and a digital Certificate of Compliance (CoC) was issued on the spot.

If your board still looks like the “Before” photo, your home might be “working,” but it isn’t as safe as it could be. 👀

A close call in Western Heights today.
I came across this disaster during a fault finding. The combination of transposed Neutral and Earth and exposed copper strands is a major fire risk on its own. However, seeing this situated directly next to a gas valve makes it an incredibly dangerous situation for any household.

The good news is that the site is now safe. I have replaced the faulty socket and performed a full suite of tests to ensure everything is functioning correctly and meets all New Zealand safety standards.

If you have recently moved into a new home or have not had your electrical connections checked in years, it is well worth a professional look. Your safety is not worth the risk of a "she will be right" approach to wiring.

Give Volt City Electrical a call or send us a message to book a professional safety check today.
