Nobody to coordinate
The dedicated circuit a new heat pump needs gets run by the same crew, the same day. No waiting a fortnight for a sparky to become available.
All service prices shown exclude GST. GST is added to the quoted rates.
Most heat pump jobs are half electrical anyway. We're both trades, so the dedicated circuit your new unit needs gets run by the same crew, on the same day, inside the same price.
Services
Trades, one team
Estimate, no site visit
01 — Fully qualified electricians
Our core work. Full and partial rewires, extra outlets, outdoor and security lighting, bathroom heating — and the small jobs everyone else is too busy to quote.
$100/hr + $50 travel /02Ceramic fuses and no RCDs is the most common unsafe thing we find in Auckland homes. Usually half a day, and certified before we leave.
Quoted /03Most of our work comes from property managers, so the whole thing is built around you: one contact, fast turnaround between tenancies, and paperwork that's right the first time.
Account rates /04Load-checked against your existing board first, so you're not tripping the house every time the car's plugged in overnight.
Quoted /05Office, retail and hospitality fit-outs delivered to programme. We work alongside your builder rather than turning up after the ceiling's already closed.
Per project /06No power, tripping breakers, burning smells, water through a light fitting. Ring us and we'll say honestly whether it's a tonight job or a tomorrow job.
$250 after hours02 — Commercial compliance
If you employ people or have the public through the door, you have a duty to keep electrical equipment safe — and testing and tagging is how you show it. It's also the first thing an insurer or auditor asks for. We currently test for the New Zealand Cancer Society and Mad Butcher.

Who it's for
You get a certificate of work completed, plus a list of anything that didn't pass. If something fails we tell you what it is and what it'll cost to replace or repair — we don't just red-tag it and walk off.
Book a site walk-through03 — All brands installed & serviced
The workhorse. One properly sized unit in the right spot beats two cheap ones in the wrong spots, and we'll tell you which you need before you buy anything.
Free quote /08Old unit died? We'll tell you honestly whether it's worth repairing first. If not, the old one is degassed and disposed of properly and we reuse the pipework where it's sound.
Free quote /09Whole-home heating with nothing on the wall but a slim grille. Retrofitting into older Auckland villas and bungalows is the part most installers avoid.
Free quote /10Several rooms, independent control, one outdoor unit instead of four boxes bolted down the side of the house. Usually the right answer for townhouses.
Free quote /11A unit that hasn't been cleaned in five years is costing you money every winter and pushing dust round your lounge. We service everything, regardless of who installed it.
$100/hr + $50 travel /12Certificates of Compliance on all prescribed work, and a Certificate of Verification (COV) for your insurer when they ask for one. Plus Healthy Homes heating assessments and pre-purchase electrical checks.
Quoted04 — Our published rates
No hourly guesswork and nothing hidden. The call-out charge and the health and safety fee are already inside the hourly rate, not added on afterwards. Travel is a flat $50 per visit. A standard call-out starts at $150 and materials and GST are shown separately.
Before you book
Send us a description and a couple of photos and you'll have a number back the next working day. If we do need to come out and look, that visit is free.
If something's not right
We're human and we can make the odd mistake on work or on pricing. William Morton handles it directly — team@firststop.co.nz or 022 090 4711.

05 — The difference
One visit
The dedicated circuit a new heat pump needs gets run by the same crew, the same day. No waiting a fortnight for a sparky to become available.
One price
Everything's in the quote. Nobody turns up on the day to tell you the electrical wasn't included and it's another $900.
One number
If something's not right in six months, there's exactly one team responsible for fixing it, and William picks up the phone himself.
06 — Where we work
We'll travel anywhere in Auckland for the right job. But Central and East is where we're based and where we know the housing stock — which villas still have original wiring, which apartment blocks have body-corp rules about outdoor units, which streets are on the old network.
Where we specialise. Anywhere else in Auckland — just ask.

07 — Not sure which one
Working out which service you need is our job, not yours. Ring us, or send a description and two photos, and our estimators will come back with a price inside 24 hours.
