Your Newmarket Electrician Since 1952
BW Henderson Electrical has been serving Auckland homeowners and businesses since 1952. As a result, we are the Newmarket electrician that residents and businesses in the area have relied on for over 70 years. We provide residential, commercial, industrial, and solar electrical services for properties throughout Newmarket and the surrounding Central Auckland suburbs.
Newmarket is one of Auckland’s most commercially active suburbs — home to the Broadway retail strip, high-density apartment buildings, medical centres, and office buildings. In addition, the suburb’s mix of commercial tenancies and high-rise apartments creates strong and consistent demand for electrical fit-out, maintenance, and compliance work. Our EWRB-registered electricians are therefore experienced with both the residential and commercial electrical requirements typical of this 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
We use thermal imaging cameras to detect hidden electrical faults — such as overloaded circuits and failing connections — before they become dangerous. This is particularly valuable for commercial buildings and older apartment blocks in Newmarket.
Part of French Group
BW Henderson is part of the French Group, a family-owned Auckland business with deep roots in the electrical industry. This means we have access to greater resources and buying power, while still delivering the personal service of a local contractor.
Electrical Services for the Newmarket Community
About Newmarket
Newmarket is one of Auckland’s busiest and most commercially diverse suburbs, located just southeast of the city centre. The suburb is best known for its Broadway retail strip — a popular destination for fashion, dining, and entertainment — as well as Lumsden Green, the ASB Showgrounds, and the Auckland Racecourse. In addition, Newmarket has a growing apartment population, a significant medical and healthcare precinct, and a high concentration of office and professional services businesses. As a result, the suburb generates strong demand for both residential and commercial electrical work.
Furthermore, Newmarket’s high-density character means that apartment fit-outs, body corporate electrical work, and switchboard upgrades for older buildings are among the most common residential jobs in the area. In addition, the commercial strip along Broadway and the surrounding office precincts create consistent demand for retail and office electrical fit-outs, commercial lighting upgrades, and data installations. We therefore carry out a wide range of both residential and commercial electrical work throughout Newmarket on a regular basis.
We service all of Newmarket and the surrounding Central Auckland suburbs including Parnell, Epsom, Grafton, Remuera, Mt Eden, and Khyber Pass. Our Takanini base provides straightforward motorway access to Central Auckland.
