What about a property in the Sounds?
Say so in the request. Water access changes both who can take the job and what it costs, and it is far better in the quote than discovered on the morning.
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.
