Specialist expertise across electrical and technical services
One of the biggest advantages of working with Plunket Electrical Group is the range of specialist services available under one roof. Rather than coordinating multiple contractors, customers can work with one experienced team able to integrate electrical, HVAC, solar, security, data and communication systems into a complete solution.
Our services include:
- Heating, heat pumps and ventilation systems
This integrated approach allows projects to run more smoothly while providing a single point of contact for installation, maintenance and ongoing support.
Experience team committed to quality, safety and industry standards
While Plunket Electrical Group's ownership has changed over the decades, the focus on quality work, strong relationships and local accountability has remained constant. Today the business is still family-owned and locally based, serving Oamaru, Timaru and the wider region with a team of highly trained electricians and specialist technicians.
With around 50 staff across the group, Plunket Electrical Group combines local service with the depth of experience and capability needed to handle projects of all sizes. Our team includes electricians and specialist technicians across multiple technical disciplines, supported by ongoing training and strong health and safety systems. The business has also been recognised with industry awards, including the 2022 Business South Inc. Waitaki Business Award for Trade/Logistics/Distribution.
Plunket Electrical Group is a Master Electricians member which means we meet strict industry standards and undergo regular auditing. Our workmanship is backed by the Master Electricians $20,000 guarantee. We are also PreQual accredited and a Fujitsu accredited installer, reflecting our commitment to quality workmanship, safety and recognised industry standards.
