Who we are

Proudly Local and Built on Decades of Real Experience

Our Work

Let's Talk

Always Electrical Ltd is led by Brendon Smith, a registered New Zealand electrician with over 25 years of hands-on experience across homes, businesses and new builds throughout Auckland.

What started as a one-man operation has grown into a trusted local name known for tidy workmanship, honest advice and clear communication. Every job is treated with care, from small fixes to complex installations, because good work is personal — and it shows in the results.

Our approach is simple: do it right, keep it safe, and make sure every customer feels confident they chose the right team.

Our Story

Our Journey of Hard Work and Reliability

With more than 25 years in the electrical trade, Always Electrical Ltd has grown from one man’s passion for doing things properly into a trusted name across Auckland.

The Beginning

Learning the Trade From the Ground Up

Brendon began his electrical apprenticeship straight out of school, working across residential, commercial, and industrial sites throughout Auckland.

Employed by The Electrical Training Company for the duration of his apprenticeship, he was seconded out to work with various electrical contractors, completing work in every field of the trade alongside multiple tradespeople and fellow apprentices from marine electrical to alarms and security to fresh and wastewater reticulation and everything in between.

Those early years provided an invaluable learning experience and taught him the value of teamwork, problem-solving, and taking pride in getting every detail right.

Building Skill, Knowledge and Reputation

After completing his apprenticeship, Brendon became a registered New Zealand electrician. He went on to manage residential builds and renovations, as well as complex commercial and industrial projects, earning a reputation for reliability, clear communication, and consistently high-quality workmanship.

As his natural leadership abilities developed, Brendon progressed into project management roles, overseeing large electrical teams on both residential and commercial projects

He later advanced into electrical estimating and service management positions, gaining vital experience in budgeting, design, procurement, and customer relationship management.

Testimonials

What Our Amazing Customers Say

Real feedback from homeowners and businesses who trust us for reliable, high-quality electrical work.

"We’ve used Brendon at Always Electrical for a few years now for multiple jobs in both residential electrical work at our home and rental properties, as well as for rural pump solutions on the farm. He is a very competent and tidy craftsman who has no trouble finding solutions to electrical problems. His approach to customers is a real credit as he keeps you updated and informed on the job from start to finish."

Luke and Toni Hill

"We are first time DIY’er’s and finding a reliable tradesperson like Brendon made the process a lot easier. Since first making contact, Brendon and the team at ‘Always Electrical’ have been prompt, efficient and have gone the extra mile to make sure we've met our deadlines for other trades. We would have no hesitation in recommending Brendon to friends and family and would certainly use him again!"

Christopher Lynch

"I have no hesitation in recommending Brendon from Always Electrical as he is always prompt, efficient and good value for money with a smile on his face. I have used Brendon many times for my electrical maintenance and additions and will continue to do so."

Nick Weezenbeek

"I would recommend Always Electrical for any electrical requirements -domestic or commercial. Recently I had my kitchen renovated and with a change of position in sockets, light switches and new appliances, it seemed a daunting prospect. Brendon's skill in placement and ensuring that I was happy with the end result was professional and of an exceptionally high standard. Always on time with high professional and personal care, I would not hesitate to use Brendon for any of my electrical requirements. Good luck with future projects."

Lorna Atchinson

"Always Electrical completely rewired my 1920s bungalow. The job wasn't straightforward - we couldn't damage existing features and I was project managing myself, so the team had to work around builders and other trades at short notice. They pulled weekends and late nights to keep things moving (probably due to my dodgy project management). Quality was spot on. When a couple of lights stopped working, they came out straight away - turned out to be faulty bulbs, not their work. They didn't make me feel like an idiot about it either. Highly recommend."

David and Justine Shearer

"Honest and reliable. Would recommend to friends and family."

Gavin Ogden

"We have used Always Electrical on a number of occasions. We have always found Brendon to be very willing and reliable. He has always advised us on the best way to do a job, is very obliging and will always explain any queries we have. We have always been very satisfied with his workmanship. He takes the time to complete the job satisfactorily. He is a very tidy worker, but will clean up any mess that he may make. We would not hesitate in recommending him to others."

Howard and Odette Smith

"I would recommend Brendon Smith at 'Always Electrical' for all of your electrical needs. I had Brendon re-wire my house and he has done a very professional job. Brendon's communication was excellent throughout the job, and he kept me informed of what was required or not required. Brendon is a true professional and I will not hesitate to use him again."

John and Courtney Seward

"Several years ago my husband and I moved a bungalow on to our section. It was a big renovation job, Brendon did all the electrical work, inside and out, re wiring etc to complete the renovation. We also had a large barn built and Brendon did all the electrical work for this as well. We have always called on him for any other work needed. Just recently he has installed an outdoor generator plug for our generator, which has kept us powered during lengthy power-cuts. He is always happy to offer advice and suggestions. He is reliable, efficient and has always been very respectful of us and our property. Thank you Brendon for everything you have done for us."

Karen and Jeff Matthews

"We have used Brendon Smith from Always Electrical on a number of occasions from small jobs such as installing heated towel rails and additional lighting through to the satisfaction of a number of requirements for a large-scale house renovation. Brendon is honest, efficient and very reliable. He goes out of his way to ensure that the job is done on time and to a high standard. We found Brendon to be invaluable when working in a consultative manner with regards to the electrical requirements of our house renovation. He made great suggestions and then completed the work efficiently and tidily and under what was initially quoted. It’s not often you find a tradesperson that ticks all of the boxes. We’d highly recommend Always Electrical/Brendon Smith and will be using him again in the future."

Jared and Lauren Smith

"Thanks for the work you have done on our house, in particular your ability to get our job done in good time. We found you easy to approach and ask questions relating to the work we wanted done, and when we decided after you had completed your work that we had changed our minds on the colour of pendants you came back and changed them for us without any fuss or problems. We have no hesitation in using you for future electrical work or referring you to our friends. Thanks Brendon."

Sithon Sok

"I’ve been using Brendon and Always Electrical for many years now for our electrical requirements at Allely Estate, and can’t fault the quality of the service and workmanship. From the initial contact through to job completion he keeps us informed along the way and fits round our schedules to get the job done in a timely, cost effective manner. Brendon is reliable and trustworthy, and I can’t recommend him highly enough."

Stuart Thornell

Allely Estate

"Hi from Vietnam! I would definitely recommend Always Electrical, so much so that's it's worth writing this testimonial from Hoi An. It was only a small job but was really short notice and over the Christmas - New Years break. Brendon showed up when he said he would and did a brilliant job. Thanks so much :-)"

Melanie Hawkins

"We are always very happy with Brendon's electrical work and his attention to detail is excellent. We particularly like his friendly nature and the neat & tidy job he completes. He is always enthusiastic to help us out and make sure that the end result is what we want. He is very practical and always finds the best and most efficient way to complete his work. We have no hesitation recommending him and his company, Always Electrical, to anyone who wants quality electrical work completed."

Jared and Rachel Rehm

"Brendon completed some electrician work for us a few months ago and his workmanship was outstanding - he came across as a genuine and trustworthy person - I would highly recommend him for work in our local community. Thanks again."

Cathy Draper and David Windslor

"Brendon from Always Electrical has been looking after my electrical needs for over a decade now. I've never had any issues with the jobs I gave him. He always completed them timely and to an excellent standard showing great workmanship. He is also a good communicator, and it has always been pleasant dealing with him. A+ from me, and I have no hesitation in recommending his services."

Catia Delmiglio

"Brendon rewired our kitchen when we recently renovated it. He was fast, efficient and knowledgeable. He suggested where to add additional power points, worked within our time constraints and his prices couldn’t be beaten. We would recommend Brendon to anyone that is looking for a professional job done in a timely manner."

Mark McKinlay and Alisha Jones

"I would like to pass on this review of your workmanship. Brendon was tasked with various jobs around our house in mid-2025. From fitting lights in the lounge and dining room, removing old fittings and putting in new extractor fans and switches. Firstly, he provided a competitive quote for the work and was spot on with the costs afterwards. The work took a few days to finish and he was punctual every day. Brendon communicated on the progress of the jobs and his workmanship was top notch. He cleaned up after he was finished as well. I could not fault Brendon's work ethic and will definitely engage his skills again the next time we need electrical work done on our property."
