Your trusted Otaki electrician - Roundhouse Electrical
Otaki is the northernmost town on the Kapiti Coast, and it has a character all its own - a bilingual community built around Te Wananga o Raukawa and the historic Main Street, with the SH1 outlet strip running alongside since the expressway bypass took the through-traffic around town. Whether you're in a character villa near the old town, a newer home on the fringes, or a lifestyle block out toward Te Horo or Hautere, you need an electrician who understands the mix of older housing stock and rural properties that makes Otaki different from the rest of the coast.
Owner-operator Jamie Eades is a fully licensed and registered New Zealand electrician who covers Otaki as part of his regular run up the coast. He handles everything from villa rewires and switchboard upgrades to new-build fit-outs, heat pump wiring, EV charger installation, and fault-finding and repairs on lifestyle blocks and rural properties alike. Every job is finished to NZ AS/NZS 3000 standards with proper certification, so your insurance, your sale and your peace of mind all stay intact.
Roundhouse Electrical treats Otaki the same way we treat every part of the Kapiti Coast we serve - straight quotes, no disappearing after the invoice clears, and work that's done properly the first time. Otaki homeowners, lifestyle-block owners and small business owners can rely on us for honest electrical work, whether it's a quick fix or a full rewire.
Otaki electrician - frequently asked questions
Common questions from Otaki homeowners. Anything else, Jamie is happy to talk it through.
Do you rewire older character villas in Otaki?
Yes. Otaki has plenty of older weatherboard villas and bungalows around the main town and out toward Te Horo. We handle full and partial rewires, replacing old wiring, ceramic fuses and undersized switchboards with a modern RCD-protected board and safe, compliant cabling throughout.
Can you work on lifestyle blocks and rural properties around Te Horo and Hautere?
Definitely. Rural and lifestyle-block properties often need longer cable runs, outbuilding and shed power, and sometimes three-phase supply for pumps or workshops. We're happy to travel out to Te Horo, Hautere and the wider Otaki rural area for these jobs.
Do you install EV chargers in Otaki?
Yes, we install home EV chargers for both older properties - often needing a switchboard upgrade first - and new builds. We'll assess your existing supply and recommend the right charger and circuit for your setup.
Are you a licensed electrician registered with the Electrical Workers Registration Board?
Yes. Jamie holds a current EWRB practising licence and full public liability insurance, and every job in Otaki is signed off with the correct Electrical Safety Certificate or Certificate of Compliance.
How quickly can you get to an Otaki job from your Waikanae base?
Otaki is the furthest north we service regularly, so for non-urgent jobs we typically batch bookings with other Otaki-area work. Urgent faults - no power, sparking, burning smell - are always prioritised.
