Born and bred Whanganui sparkies

Southcombe Electrical is a family-run electrical business based right here in Whanganui. Josh has been on the tools since the day he left high school, working his way up through the trade before taking the leap and starting his own company.

Today the crew handles everything from a single powerpoint to full home rewires, heat pump installs, switchboards, solar, EV chargers and emergency call-outs. If it's electrical, we've done it before.

Holly runs the office, the boys run the jobs. Together they've built something Whanganui keeps coming back to. 120+ five-star Google reviews and counting.

We're local, we love what we do, and we're here to help Whanganui grow and feel safe in their homes.

If we wouldn't put it in our own home, we won't put it in yours.— Josh & Holly Southcombe

Josh sorted our new switchboard in a day and left the place spotless. Turned up when he said he would and talked us through the whole job. Could not fault it.
Rachel M. · Gonville
★★★★★
Had a heat pump installed before winter. Fair quote, no surprises, and it was running the same afternoon. Genuinely nice crew to have in the house.
Dave T. · Bastia Hill
★★★★★
Power went out at 9pm and they answered the phone. Someone was here within the hour and had us sorted. You do not get that service everywhere.
Priya S. · Marton
★★★★★
Full rewire on our old villa. Tidy work through the whole place, kept us in the loop the entire time, and the certification was all handed over at the end.
Tom & Ellie W. · Westmere
★★★★★
Feature lighting through the lounge and kitchen, exactly what we wanted and better than we pictured. Real eye for the detail.
Hana K. · Springvale
★★★★★
Booked them for a couple of powerpoints and ended up getting the whole board looked at. Honest, straight up, and reasonably priced. Will use again.
