The best of
Wellington. Ranked.

Founded by Ben Alchin in 2019, this residential-only outfit has grown fast on a simple pitch: homeowner-focused systems, a $20,000 workmanship guarantee, and 24/7 callouts. MoneyHub's top pick for Wellington in late 2024.

Dean Skipsey launched SFE in 2014 and it's since become a go-to across Wellington, Porirua and the Hutt, covering everything from switchboard upgrades to solar and SmartVent installs for both homes and businesses.

Run by Matt Stewart out of Taita, Fellow set out to be Wellington's number-one residential electrician by prioritising the client experience over just ticking off the job — rewires, EV chargers and lighting upgrades are the bread and butter.

Andy Morrison started Illuminex in 2021 and it's since built a loyal following across Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt and Wellington City for patient explanations and tidy work, backed by a $20,000 workmanship guarantee.

A genuine Wellington institution — trading for more than 60 years out of Kaiwharawhara, this Master Electricians and Site Safe-certified firm covers commercial, industrial and domestic work including data cabling and network upgrades.

Established in 1988 by Iain Stewart and Simon Rogers, this Mount Cook team has three-decade-deep roots in Wellington, Porirua and the Hutt, pairing standard wiring and safety-check work with energy-efficiency advice.

A tight, responsive operation led by Alex, praised for squeezing in short-notice jobs — from ceiling light installs to heat pump swaps — with transparent quoting and fast diagnosis of tricky circuit-breaker faults.

Led by Master Electrician Stu with 17-plus years under his belt, this outfit's whole ethos is in the name — old switchboard upgrades, lighting modernisation and renovation wiring handled with straight-up, jargon-free pricing.

Two decades in and based in Island Bay, DBES stands out for covering marine electrical work alongside the usual residential and commercial jobs — a rare specialty in a harbour city, backed by ECANZ's $20,000 guarantee.

Shaun's decade-plus outfit covers CBD to Thorndon, Kelburn, Karori and Miramar, with a real specialty in outdoor and garden lighting alongside EV charger installs for Tesla, Wallbox and Evnex systems.

Based in Wainuiomata and working right across Wellington, Lower Hutt and the Kapiti Coast, Eclipse leans into smart-home automation — lighting, climate, security and entertainment integration — on top of standard EV and commercial work.

A family-owned Porirua operator with over 15 years in the trade, Pankhurst covers Wellington, the Hutt Valley and Kapiti Coast for everything from switchboard upgrades to appliance installs and fault-finding.

A locally owned Waikanae operator that's built a strong name across the whole Kapiti corridor from Paekakariki up to Otaki and Levin — the pick for anyone north of Porirua wanting a genuinely local tradesperson.

Serving Kapiti, Horowhenua, Levin, Porirua and Wellington for over eight years, 2 Connect is a solid regional option for households and businesses further out from the CBD who still want Master Electrician-level service.

A genuinely suburb-by-suburb operator, reaching Miramar, Kilbirnie, Newtown, Karori, Kelburn, Khandallah, Wadestown, Ngaio, Wilton and Johnsonville — useful for anyone wanting confirmation their specific street is covered before booking.
