Furthermore, all maintenance work is carried out by EWRB-registered electricians in accordance with New Zealand electrical regulations.

We understand that every facility is different. Therefore, we tailor our maintenance programmes to suit your operational schedule, systems, and budget.

Why Planned Maintenance Saves Money
Reactive vs Preventative Maintenance
Reactive maintenance — fixing things after they break — is always more expensive than planned maintenance. Emergency callout costs, lost production time, and the risk of consequential damage all add up quickly. In contrast, a planned maintenance programme identifies failing components before they cause a breakdown, keeping your costs predictable and your operations running.
Detailed Reporting After Every Visit
After every maintenance visit, BW Henderson provides a detailed report of the work completed, any issues identified, and recommendations for future work. Furthermore, we maintain a full service history for your site — invaluable for compliance records, insurance purposes, and capital expenditure planning. As a result, you always have an accurate picture of your facility’s electrical condition.
Compliance and Safety Testing
IQP Registered for Building Warrant of Fitness
As IQP-registered electricians, BW Henderson Electrical can carry out the required inspections and testing on specified electrical systems as part of your building’s annual Building Warrant of Fitness (BWoF) compliance schedule. The most common specified electrical system is the emergency lighting system. Therefore, we can handle your BWoF electrical compliance as part of your ongoing maintenance programme.
Test and Tag Services
We provide test and tag services for industrial and commercial facilities across Auckland. Regular testing and tagging of portable electrical equipment is required under New Zealand health and safety legislation. In particular, industrial environments have strict testing frequency requirements — typically every 6 to 12 months depending on the equipment and environment. We carry out all testing to the required standard and provide full documentation.
