Appliance connections & circuits
Dedicated circuits for ovens, hot water and heavy appliances.
Home rewires & additions

Why it matters

Renovations & New Builds
Peak Electric prices off plans, coordinates first fix and second fix around the wider build programme, and delivers a properly commissioned installation with full compliance paperwork at handover — whether it's a bathroom refresh, an extension, or a full new build.

Full house rewires
Modern circuitry, RCD protection and tidy switchboard finish.
Kitchen & bathroom renovations
Task lighting, appliance circuits and safe wet-area installs.
Extensions & second storey work
Sub-boards, sub-mains and integration with the existing home.
New build first & second fix
On-programme delivery working alongside your builder.
Why it matters
The electrical layout is locked in once the linings go on. Getting it planned properly at rough-in stage avoids expensive rework and gives you a home that actually works day to day.
Lighting & LED Upgrades
Good lighting changes how a room feels and how it works. Peak Electric plans layouts around how you actually use each space — general, task and feature lighting, sensible zoning, dimming and warm-vs-cool colour temperature choices.
HomeownersRenovatorsRetailers
What's included
- Layout planning around real use
- Quality LED fittings, not cheap imports
- Dimming and zoning where it makes sense
Common examples of work
What a lighting & led upgrades job usually looks like
Show common examples of lighting & led upgrades work
LED downlight upgrades
Whole-house swaps to warm, efficient, long-life LED.
Feature & pendant lighting
Statement lighting installed level, plumb and properly supported.
Dimmers & smart controls
Compatible dimming so LEDs actually dim smoothly.
Outdoor & garden lighting
Weatherproof fittings and sensible cable routes.
Why it matters
Lighting is one of the highest-return upgrades in an older home. Done well, it drops power bills, extends fitting life and makes every room more usable after dark.
Switchboard Upgrades
Older fuse boards and early switchboards don't offer the RCD protection modern wiring standards call for. A switchboard upgrade brings the home up to current standards, tidies up years of add-ons, and makes future electrical work far easier.
Older homesRenters complianceRenovations
What's included
- Full replacement enclosure with RCDs
- Sub-mains check and re-terminate where needed
- Clear labelling and Certificate of Compliance
Common examples of work

Old fuse board replacements
Ceramic fuses out, modern RCBOs in — usually inside a day.
RCD safety switch upgrades
Proper RCD protection on every circuit that needs it.
Sub-boards for extensions
Cleanly separated boards for granny flats, workshops and sheds.
Rewires and re-labelling
Every circuit tested, labelled and documented.
Why it matters
A modern switchboard trips before a fault becomes dangerous. It's the single biggest safety upgrade most Nelson Tasman homes can make.
Fault Finding & Repairs
Intermittent faults, tripping breakers and dead circuits are almost always solvable — they just need a methodical approach. Peak Electric isolates the cause properly rather than guessing at parts, then makes a permanent repair with everything documented.
HomeownersLandlordsBusinesses
What's included
- Systematic testing, not guesswork
- Clear explanation of the cause
- Permanent repair, not a band-aid
Common examples of work
What a fault finding & repairs job usually looks like
Show common examples of fault finding & repairs work
Tripping breakers or RCDs
Circuit-by-circuit isolation to find the real cause.
Dead power points or lights
Fast diagnosis and lasting repair, not a temporary bypass.
Intermittent electrical faults
The tricky ones — traced properly instead of masked.
Damaged wiring repairs
Safe replacement of damaged cable runs and terminations.
Why it matters
A repeat-tripping RCD or hot socket is the home telling you something's wrong. Ignored, it can become a fire risk — dealt with properly, it's usually a straightforward fix.
Commercial Electrical
Peak Electric looks after small shops, offices, cafés and light commercial premises across Nelson Tasman — from a fresh fitout through to ongoing maintenance and compliance work. Willing to work outside trading hours where it keeps disruption down.
RetailersOfficesProperty managers
What's included
- Fitout pricing from drawings

Full electrical from plans through to commissioning.
Commercial lighting
Retail, task and emergency lighting done properly.
Data and power outlets
Neatly installed points where staff actually need them.
Ongoing maintenance
Scheduled visits so problems get caught early.
Why it matters
Commercial electrical downtime costs real money. Reliable maintenance and a properly documented install stop small issues turning into closed-doors problems.
Power Points & Electrical Fittings
Not enough outlets in the kitchen? Old ivory switches through the whole house? Peak Electric can add outlets, swap out dated fittings and modernise the look of the home in a single visit — with tidy cable routes and level, plumb finishes.

What's included
- Modern fittings in a finish you choose

Weatherproof outdoor outlets
IP-rated fittings for decks, patios and gardens.
Modern switch & outlet upgrades
Whole-house refresh to a consistent finish.
Why it matters
Overloaded multiboxes are one of the most common causes of household electrical fires. Extra outlets in the right places make the home safer and easier to live in.
Smoke Alarms
Interconnected smoke alarms mean when one triggers, they all sound — giving everyone in the home the earliest possible warning. Peak Electric installs long-life photoelectric alarms and interconnected systems that meet current New Zealand standards.

- Correct placement for your home layout

Battery & unit replacements
Old alarms removed and replaced cleanly.
Why it matters
Modern photoelectric alarms respond faster to smouldering fires and cut nuisance alarms in the kitchen. It's the cheapest life-safety upgrade a home can make.
Electrical Safety Checks
A methodical inspection of the switchboard, RCD protection, high-risk circuits and visible wiring — with a written report you can act on. Ideal before buying, after major renovations, or as part of a rental compliance package.
Pre-purchaseLandlordsPost-renovation
What's included
- Switchboard and RCD testing
- Visual and testing inspection of visible wiring
- Written report with clear priorities

Pre-purchase safety checks
Know what you're buying before you sign.
Rental property inspections
Landlord peace of mind and tenant safety.
Post-renovation checks
Independent verification that the work is right.
Switchboard health checks
RCD trip testing and thermal spot checks.
Why it matters
You can't insure or sell around a hidden electrical problem. A proper safety check finds issues while they're still cheap to fix.
Outdoor & Security Lighting
Outdoor lighting done properly does three jobs at once — security, usability and looks. Peak Electric plans the layout around how you use the property, uses fittings that hold up outdoors, and runs cabling through sensible routes so it isn't obvious.
HomeownersRural propertiesCoastal homes
What's included
- Weather-rated fittings and cabling
- Sensor, timer and switch options
- Sensible layouts, not overkill
Common examples of work

Sensor security lights
Covering the right approaches without lighting the whole street.
Garden & path lighting
Low-key, low-glare fittings that guide rather than dazzle.
Deck & outdoor entertaining
Warm, dimmable lighting for outdoor living spaces.
Driveway & entry lighting
Welcome-home lighting on timers or sensors.
Why it matters
Well-placed sensor lighting is one of the most effective and lowest-cost deterrents against opportunistic entry — and it makes the property safer to walk around at night.
Property Maintenance
Peak Electric can act as your ongoing electrical maintenance provider — scheduled visits, rental turnover checks, small repairs and reactive callouts. One point of contact, one set of records, no chasing multiple sparkies.
LandlordsProperty managersMulti-property owners
What's included
- Scheduled or on-call visits
- Consistent documentation across properties
- Landlord Healthy Homes support

Compliance and safety work

Why it matters
The same electrician looking after a property year after year catches problems early, keeps documentation consistent, and saves you from repeated diagnostic charges.
Safety & Compliance
Every job that legally needs paperwork gets it — issued at completion, not weeks later. Certificates of Compliance, Electrical Safety Certificates and insurance-ready documentation, all filed properly.

- Certificates issued on completion
