Your Mt Eden Electrician Since 1952
BW Henderson Electrical has been serving Auckland homeowners and businesses since 1952. As a result, we are the Mt Eden electrician that residents and businesses throughout the suburb have relied on for over 70 years. We provide residential, commercial, industrial, and solar electrical services for properties across Mt Eden and the surrounding Central Auckland suburbs.
Mt Eden is a popular inner suburb with a mix of heritage villas, renovated bungalows, and a thriving commercial village. In addition, the suburb’s older housing stock means that switchboard upgrades, rewiring, and new circuit work are among the most common requests we receive from local homeowners. Our EWRB-registered electricians are therefore experienced with both the residential and commercial electrical needs of the area. Furthermore, every job is backed by a $20,000 Master Electricians workmanship guarantee. Installation quotes are free — however, a charge applies for fault-finding and repair assessments.

Thermal Imaging Technology

Electrical Services for the Mt Eden Community
About Mt Eden
Mt Eden is one of Auckland’s most desirable inner suburbs, sitting just south of the city centre. The suburb is best known for Maungawhau — the volcanic cone that gives the suburb its name and provides panoramic views across Auckland. In addition, Mount Eden Village is a popular destination with a strong café, bar, and restaurant scene, while Dominion Road is one of Auckland’s most well-known dining strips. The suburb also benefits from excellent schools, parks, and easy access to the motorway.
Furthermore, Mt Eden has a high proportion of older character homes — villas and bungalows built in the early-to-mid twentieth century — that frequently require electrical upgrades. As a result, switchboard replacements, rewiring, and the addition of new circuits for EV chargers, heat pumps, and home automation systems are among the most common jobs we carry out in the area. In addition, the suburb’s busy commercial village and Dominion Road strip generate consistent demand for hospitality and retail electrical fit-out work. We therefore carry out a wide range of both residential and commercial electrical work throughout Mt Eden.
We service all of Mt Eden and the surrounding Central Auckland suburbs including Kingsland, Grey Lynn, Sandringham, Balmoral, Epsom, and Three Kings. Our Takanini base gives us straightforward motorway access to Central Auckland.
