Your Trusted Herne Bay Electrician for Over 70 Years
BW Henderson Electrical has been serving Auckland homeowners and businesses since 1952. As a result, we have built a strong reputation as a trusted Herne Bay electrician. We provide residential, commercial, and solar electrical services for properties throughout Herne Bay and the surrounding Central Auckland suburbs.
Herne Bay is one of Auckland’s most prestigious waterfront suburbs, known for its elegant Edwardian-era villas and high-value character properties. In addition, many of these older homes require careful electrical upgrades — switchboard replacements, rewiring, and new circuits for modern appliances such as EV chargers and home automation systems. Our EWRB-registered electricians are therefore experienced with the specific requirements of heritage and high-end residential properties. 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.

About Herne Bay
Herne Bay is one of Auckland’s most desirable inner suburbs, situated on the southwestern shore of the Waitemata Harbour. The area is well known for its elegant Edwardian-era homes, harbour views, and tree-lined streets. In addition, Jervois Road is a popular dining and café destination, and the suburb is home to Cox’s Bay Reserve — a waterfront park popular with families and dog walkers.
Furthermore, Herne Bay has a high concentration of premium heritage properties, many of which were built in the early twentieth century. As a result, electrical upgrades are a common requirement — particularly switchboard replacements, rewiring to modern standards, and the addition of new circuits for EV chargers, heat pumps, and home automation systems. We therefore carry out a significant volume of residential electrical work in Herne Bay, including work on character villas and high-value renovations.
We service all of Herne Bay and the surrounding Central Auckland suburbs including Ponsonby, St Marys Bay, Westmere, Cox’s Bay, and Point Chevalier. Our Takanini base provides straightforward motorway access to the area.
