Does your kitchen trip power more often in winter?

It’s common when multiple high-load appliances run at once (think kettle + toaster + microwave + dishwasher + heater). Tripping can be a sign the circuit is overloaded—or that something needs attention.

If your power is tripping repeatedly, or you’ve noticed warm outlets, buzzing, or burning smells, don’t ignore it. Call Trude on 06 873 3444to get booked in so can check what’s going on and recommend the safest fix.

Dark mornings + dark evenings = more trips and falls—especially on stairs and in hallways.

Easy winter lighting wins:

• Brighter LED upgrades in high-traffic areas
• Sensor lights for hallways/entries
• Stair lighting for safer footing at night

If you want safer winter lighting at home, Harkness Electrical can help with options and installation.

Call Trude on 06 873 3444 to get booked in.

Winter brings rodents indoors—and unfortunately, wiring can be a target.

Signs something’s not right:

• Strange burning smells (especially in roof/ceiling spaces)
• Flickering lights or random tripping
• Scratching noises in walls/ceiling + electrical issues at the same time

Chewed cable insulation can become a serious fire risk. If you suspect damage, don’t ignore it—contact Trude on 06 873 3444to get it checked out..

Portable heater safety reminder: heaters are a winter must-have—but they’re also a common cause of electrical fires.

Keep it simple:

• Give your heater space (no curtains, bedding, or laundry nearby)
• Plug it directly into the wall (skip the multibox/extension lead)
• If you smell anything “hot” or notice buzzing/tripping—turn it off and get it checked

Want peace of mind this winter? If you’re relying on portable heaters, we can check your outlets, circuits and switchboard protection so your home stays warm—safely.

Autumn is the best time to catch electrical issues before winter demand ramps up.

Watch for warning signs like:

• Flickering lights
• Warm switches or outlets
• Circuits that trip more than once

Not sure what you’re seeing? A professional electrical health check can help spot problems early. Contact Trude on 06 873 3444to get it sorted.

Today, we celebrate all the special women in our lives 🌺

And from that place of gratitude, we take a moment to honour everything they do — often quietly, often without pause.

The steady hands and open hearts.

The strength that shows up every day — in care freely given, wisdom gently shared, and aroha woven through whānau, workplaces, and communities across New Zealand.

Those who carry so much, often quietly and without recognition.
Who listen deeply, give freely, and create warmth wherever they stand.

Today is about acknowledging that care, that presence, for all the unseen things — and saying thank you.

For all you do for us, and all you are.

With gratitude, this Mother’s Day 💛

ANZAC Day – Lest We Forget

Today we pause to remember and honour all New Zealanders who have served, and those who continue to serve, our country.

We acknowledge their courage, sacrifice, and commitment with gratitude and respect.

🌺 Lest we forget.

🚿 Bathrooms are ground zero for winter mould.

If mirrors stay fogged long after showers or mould keeps creeping back, your bathroom ventilation might not be keeping up.

As we head into cooler months, warm air + closed windows can trap moisture — and that’s when mould takes hold.

We’ve just published a helpful homeowner blog explaining:

✔️ Why bathrooms struggle in winter
✔️ Signs your fan isn’t coping
✔️ How good ventilation protects your home and health

If you’re unsure whether your bathroom fan is doing enough, a licensed electrician can assess your setup and recommend the right solution.

Today we’re celebrating an awesome milestone — Byron has been with Harkness Electrical for 7 years!

Seven years of hard work, dedication, good banter, and keeping the lights on (literally). Byron is the kind of team member you can always rely on — knowledgeable, dependable, and always willing to get stuck in.

Thanks for everything you bring to the team, Byron. We’re lucky to have you and appreciate the huge contribution you’ve made over the years 👏

Here’s to many more years of great work (and fewer call-outs after hours 😉).
