School electrical maintenance
Why does it help to have an electrician who knows your school?
Schools are busy environments, and electrical issues can occur anywhere, classrooms, workshops, administration areas, sports facilities, exterior areas and everything in between.
We provide ongoing electrical maintenance for Auckland schools, taking care of everyday repairs while also helping identify ageing equipment and electrical work that may need attention in the future.
The advantage of an ongoing relationship is that we get to know your site. We understand your switchboards, buildings and electrical infrastructure, making future fault finding, maintenance and upgrades easier to manage.

Electrical information at your fingertips
Where is your school's electrical information stored?
Finding electrical information in a large school can be difficult, particularly when buildings have been altered and upgraded over many years.
Electrical Plus can install a QR code at your switchboard that provides quick access to useful electrical information about your site.
Over time, this can create a valuable electrical record for your school, helping staff and electricians find important information without having to start from scratch every time work is required.
What the QR record can hold
- Switchboard locations and identification
- Electrical plans and circuit information
- Photos of concealed or hard-to-find electrical components
- Locations of isolators, controls and electrical equipment
- Photos and records from previous electrical work
- Useful information for future maintenance and fault finding
When something is hidden behind a ceiling, wall or access panel, a simple photo and location record today can save considerable time trying to find it years later.
Planned maintenance
Why fix the small things before they become bigger problems?
With multiple buildings, hundreds of fittings and electrical equipment being used every day, it is easy for minor electrical issues to accumulate across a school. Regular maintenance lets us repair faults as they arise and identify areas that may need attention before they become more disruptive or expensive.
Working around your school
How do you work without disrupting the school day?
Electrical work in a school needs to be planned around students, staff and the daily timetable. We coordinate work with your property or facilities team and, where practical, schedule disruptive work around classes, school holidays or other suitable times.
- Work coordinated with school staff and other contractors
- Areas left clean and tidy when work is complete
- Shutdowns planned in advance where required
- Larger projects can be scheduled around school holidays
- Clear communication from start to finish

“Amazing service, communication and just a genuinely good guy to work with. Went above and beyond for our major office refurbishment at work and pushed some excellent ideas forward that werent originally thought of which has made the functionality go up (and costs actually go down!!). Very happy with the quality of work and the team.”
“Very happy with my new LED lights! Andy's work was efficient and professional. He had lots of great advice, that put my mind at ease. The job was done sooner than expected and I am really enjoying the result. Andy is a kind and friendly person and if you have any electrical work that needs doing, I strongly recommend talking to Electrical Plus Limited.”
