The short version
We handle the lot.
Southcombe Electrical is a family-run crew based right here in Whanganui. A single powerpoint, downlights through the lounge, a heat pump before winter, an old switchboard swapped out, an EV charger on the garage wall, solar on the roof, a full house rewire, the wiring on a new build, or the phone ringing at 9pm with the power out. It all runs through the same local team.
Josh has been on the tools for over 20 years and we've done 3,500+ jobs across Whanganui and beyond. Every job gets a fixed quote up front, tidy work, a full safety check before we leave, and the certification to prove it.
One local crew. Same hands, every job.
