Your Trusted Burswood Electrician for Over 70 Years
BW Henderson Electrical has been serving East Auckland homeowners and businesses since 1952. As a result, we have built a strong reputation as a trusted Burswood electrician. We provide residential, commercial, and solar electrical services for properties throughout the area — including Burswood, Pakuranga, Half Moon Bay, and the wider East Auckland region.
Burswood is a well-established residential suburb bordered by the Tamaki Estuary and Lloyd Elsmore Park. In addition, it is home to a mix of older family homes and newer properties that benefit from electrical upgrades. Our EWRB-registered electricians are therefore experienced with all types of residential and commercial electrical work. Importantly, every job is backed by a $20,000 Master Electricians workmanship guarantee. Installation quotes are also free — however, a charge applies for fault-finding and repair assessments.

Our power meter board needed earth bonding before the Wells technician could install a new meter. Travis from Henderson Electrics came around the next day on time and in the pouring rain.

Electrical Services for the Burswood Community
About Burswood
Burswood is a quiet residential suburb in East Auckland, situated between Pakuranga and Half Moon Bay. Known for its proximity to Lloyd Elsmore Park and the Tamaki Estuary, it is a popular area for families who value green space and easy access to the East Auckland coastline. In addition, Burswood is well placed for commuting, with quick access to the South-Eastern Highway and East Auckland’s main arterial roads.
Many Burswood properties are well-established homes that benefit from electrical upgrades — particularly switchboard replacements, additional power outlets, and outdoor lighting. Furthermore, EV chargers and solar panels are increasingly popular in the area as homeowners look to reduce power costs and prepare for the transition to electric vehicles. As a result, we regularly carry out these upgrades for Burswood homeowners.
We therefore service all of Burswood and the surrounding East Auckland suburbs including Pakuranga, Half Moon Bay, Howick, Botany, and Flat Bush. Our Takanini base puts us within easy reach of the entire East Auckland area.
