Things to consider before connecting power
Power connections often involve more than a straightforward trenching and connection. What’s required can change depending on the site, the plans, and how power needs to be supplied now and in the future.
This is where we can help:
Connecting power for
new developments
or adding a dwelling to an existing site
Upgrading power supply to suit increased demand
Taking overhead
power underground
Working through site
constraints such as access, shared services, or long driveways
How we approach
power connections
While each job is tailored to the site and the client’s needs, our process is consistent and proven.
01
Site review and planning
We meet on site or review plans to understand the site, access and power requirements.
02
Design and load planning
We size the power supply based on the property’s needs, taking into account things like heating systems, cooking appliances, pools or air conditioning. Cable routes, depths and separation from other services are planned in line with NZ standards.
03
Trenching and installation
Our team digs the trench, installs ducts and lays underground power cables to the required depth to meet all standards.
04
Compliance
Once installed, the work is signed off with a Certificate of Compliance. As-built plans can be provided if required, giving clarity on what’s been installed and where.
