WHERE THIS COVERS

Hawke’s Bay, town by town

Napier
Hastings
Havelock North
Te Awanga
Waipukurau
Say the town in your request. NovaPay asks businesses working near it first rather than the whole region, so the quotes you get back are from people who will actually come.
WHAT IT USUALLY COSTS

$70 to $120 an hour

Typical New Zealand rates. Bigger jobs such as a switchboard upgrade are usually quoted as a fixed price rather than hourly, which is generally the better deal for you.
That is a New Zealand-wide range. What you are quoted in Hawke’s Bay depends on the job and on how far somebody has to travel to it, which is why the quotes come back priced for your job rather than as a rate card.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Do Napier and Hastings businesses cover both?
Most do — it is a twenty-minute drive and the two run as one market. Central Hawke’s Bay is further and a small job there may carry a travel charge, which the quote states.
Do I need a registered electrician?
For almost everything, yes. Most electrical work in New Zealand must be done by a registered electrician and certified afterwards. Ask for the certificate of compliance when the job is done.
How much does it cost to add a power point?
It depends far more on access than on the socket. An easy run in an accessible wall is quick, while a point on a brick or plastered wall can take several times as long. That is exactly why it is worth getting a quote rather than a phone estimate.
Can I get a fixed price instead of an hourly rate?
Usually. When you describe the whole job up front, most electricians will quote a fixed price for it. NovaPay asks for the callout, the rate and the expected hours so you can compare either way.
Who installs an EV charger?
A registered electrician, and the job normally includes checking your switchboard has capacity. Say which car you drive in the request so they can allow for the right charger.
