Building a new home

If you’re a builder or an electrician and you’re building a new home, you’ll want power to your site pronto.  We can take you through our pricing plans, or arrange with your builder to get power to your site.

Electricity connections

Call our New Connections Team and they’ll arrange temporary electricity supply to a home or building under construction. They’re on call between 8am and 5pm Monday to Friday. Just leave a message if you call outside those times and they’ll phone you back.

Most things can be dealt with over the phone and there’s generally no paperwork. Our team is experienced and has technical backup, so they can also deal with any metering questions you have.

Call us as soon as you’ve finished with the temporary supply and we’ll close your account and send you a final bill. You’re responsible for all our charges as long as your temporary supply stays connected – so don’t forget to make that call pronto!

 Alternatively, we can change over the property from a temporary to a permanent account with the home owner. Either way just give us a call 0800 86 26 66 and we can help you out.

Get together with a gasfitter

It’s a legal requirement that your gas is installed by a certified gasfitter. To check they’re the real deal, ask to see their card issued by the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board. Or check out www.pgdb.co.nz and click on ‘search the public register’.
