Do electricians need to be registered in New Zealand?

Yes, all electrical work in NZ must be done by a registered electrician. They must hold a current practising licence issued by the Electrical Workers Registration Board (EWRB). Always ask to see their registration.

When should I rewire my house?

Houses over 30 years old should be inspected for rewiring needs. Warning signs include flickering lights, warm outlets, frequently tripping circuit breakers, and aluminium wiring. A registered electrician can assess whether a full or partial rewire is needed.

Can I do any electrical work myself in NZ?

Very limited. Homeowners can only do low-risk work like changing light bulbs or replacing a plug on an appliance cord. All other electrical work must be done by a registered electrician. DIY electrical work is illegal and dangerous.
