Whether you're building a new home, converting a garage, setting up a granny flat, or your existing 60-amp service can no longer handle your household's power demands, our team delivers reliable mains connection and upgrade services across all Auckland suburbs.

We handle all the paperwork, approvals and coordination with Vector and other authorities, so you don't have to. From initial application through to energisation and Certificate of Compliance, Electromech manages the full process.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a new mains connection take in Auckland?
The timeframe depends on Vector's availability and the type of connection required. Typically, a new residential mains connection in Auckland takes 2 to 6 weeks from application to energisation. Electromech handles all the paperwork and coordination to ensure the fastest possible turnaround.
Can Electromech upgrade my existing mains supply?
Yes. If your current single-phase 60A supply is no longer adequate for your household's power needs, we can upgrade to 100A or 200A single phase, or arrange a three-phase supply. This is increasingly common in Auckland homes with EV chargers, heat pumps and multiple high-draw appliances.
Do I need to deal with Vector directly?
No. Electromech manages all communication with Vector (Auckland's lines company) on your behalf. We submit the connection application, obtain approvals and coordinate the energisation date, you just let us know what you need.
What is a consumer unit and do I need one?
A consumer unit (also called a switchboard or distribution board) is the main electrical panel for your home where all circuits are controlled. Every home with a mains connection requires one. Electromech supplies and installs modern, RCD-protected consumer units that meet current NZ electrical standards.
What's the cost of a new mains connection in Auckland?
The cost of a new mains connection in Auckland varies based on the distance from the boundary to the house, whether it's overhead or underground, and the capacity required. Electromech provides free, itemised written quotes after an on site assessment. Vector's connection fees are separate and we'll advise you on these upfront.
