By getting their advice early in the process we were able to make compromises we could live with and keep to the budget."

Brian was prompt, friendly and even read the instructions for the fan. He checked the positioning and other details plus he tidied up afterwards. So delighted to have such excellent tradies. Will be using them for all future electrical work."

They are super reliable, keep me informed, do excellent work, provide sound advice, care about the details and leave things clean and tidy. Wish I’d discovered them three electricians ago. Wish other contractors would be more like them!"

    "Have user JR for a few jobs and thoroughly impressed with his promptness and service. It it really nice to have a trades person whom turns up when he says he will, does the job to the agreed spec, and doesn't charge like a wounded bull!! Have done several jobs as T&M and feel I have received value for money and not been ripped off. Very happy to recommend to others if you are looking for an honest tradesman."

    "We recently had John and Brian rewire our two storey house and they did an amazing job. They were very professional and their communication was great. Nothing was too much trouble. They got the job done quickly as they knew we had other trades waiting for them to finish the rewire. Thought was given to the positioning of new power points and future loadings. They also always tidied up after themselves at the end of the day. The initial quote was well laid out and easy to follow, highlighting each stage of the work. The final invoice was for less than the quote and was itemised so you could see exactly where the money was spent. The whole process was easy and stress free! Definitely a bonus when renovating. I highly recommend JR Electrical.
    So thanks John and Brian. You guys are awesome.
    Cheers
    Kim"

    "I have used JR Electrical on two occasions now and each time have found the service to be efficient and cost effective. What particularly impressed me was that although John was busy when I needed him he kept me informed of when he would be likely to carry out the task and then arrived promptly on time as promised. Altogether, a friendly, professional service that I would recommend."

    "I couldn't recommend John and his team more. John came and did a quote for a full house re-wire, explaining everything to ensure I fully appreciated the ins and outs of the job. The way the quote worked gave us peace of mind & security of a maximum figure, while still taking advantage of charge up. In the end, our work ended up coming up under budget - which we were thrilled about. As for getting the work done; the guys were friendly, professional, knowledgeable and great to have working around our home. The job was done on time & within budget. I would not hesitate to recommend and endorse JR Electrical."

    "I contacted JR Electrical on the Monday with a query about installing 2 new lights in the garage and a broken bathroom light switch. They contacted me back within 2 hours and were able to visit me the following morning to quote and potentially do the work. Turns out the work could be completed in the 2 hours available and was all done to a high standard within that timeframe.
    The Electrician had great communication skills and was very polite.
    My thanks to JR electrical Ltd"

    "We have used the services of John, Nathan, and the team since we bought our first rental in 2005, and have used them exclusively on all our electrical requirements ever since . The most recent was a complete rewire of our first house. John, Nathan and the team are always professional, , work well with other contractors, communicate well with tenants and always show respect to them, and our properties. They turn up on time, discuss all options, and complete the work in the time stated. Their can-do attitude and friendly demeanor are just the icing on the cake!"

    "John, Nathan and Brian are absolutely top class professionals who were an absolute pleasure to deal with. I\'ve just built a house where they did the electrical work and I couldn\'t recommend them highly enough. There\'s no question that their workmanship is excellent, but, what makes dealing with them so good is their punctuality and honesty. Throughout the project they have not let me down once; moreover, a few times they went out of their way to accommodate changes in schedule and plans and all of that on absolutely minimal notice! I only wish I encountered such great services in other trades!"

Recommeded by a neighbour, we couldn't have been more grateful to finally find trades people as helpful, friendly, honest, trustworhy and respectful as the team at JR Electrical. We have now had JR complete a number of electrical jobs (big and small) for us. They are always on time and budget, and always deliver top notch service. I doubt you could find better."

    Normally took two days by other contractors in the past, but they did it in one day.

    Acted safely around store and didnt know they were here.

    They created a test tag log which other companies had never done this by using a proper log book and now we dont have messy handwritten pieces of paper."

    "We just bought a new place but I was not really confident with the electrical installation. So I checked www.nocowboys.co.nz and found John's references. I gave a call and John came by few days later to see the place. He gave me good advices and a quotation so as to bring the mainbox to European standard, to move the meter outside, and checking that there was no more old wires in our place. We agree about the price that was fair and he came by a week after to do the job. I'm really happy about the work he did and will call him again if needed."
