Lighting & LED Upgrades

Good lighting changes how a room feels and how it works. Peak Electric plans layouts around how you actually use each space: general, task and feature lighting, sensible zoning, dimming and warm-vs-cool colour temperature choices.

HomeownersRenovatorsRetailers

What's included

  • Layout planning around real use
  • Quality LED fittings, not cheap imports
  • Dimming and zoning where it makes sense

What a lighting & led upgrades job usually looks like

See common examples of lighting & led upgrades work

LED downlight upgrades

Whole-house swaps to warm, efficient, long-life LED.

Feature & pendant lighting

Statement lighting installed level, plumb and properly supported.

Dimmers & smart controls

Compatible dimming so LEDs actually dim smoothly.

Outdoor & garden lighting

Weatherproof fittings and sensible cable routes.

Lighting is one of the highest-return upgrades in an older home. Done well, it drops power bills, extends fitting life and makes every room more usable after dark.

Switchboard Upgrades

Older fuse boards and early switchboards don't offer the RCD protection modern wiring standards call for. A switchboard upgrade brings the home up to current standards, tidies up years of add-ons, and makes future electrical work far easier.

Older homesRenters complianceRenovations

What's included

  • Full replacement enclosure with RCDs
  • Sub-mains check and re-terminate where needed
  • Clear labelling and Certificate of Compliance

What a switchboard upgrades job usually looks like

Old fuse board replacements

Ceramic fuses out, modern RCBOs in, usually inside a day.

RCD safety switch upgrades

Proper RCD protection on every circuit that needs it.

Sub-boards for extensions

Cleanly separated boards for granny flats, workshops and sheds.

Rewires and re-labelling

Every circuit tested, labelled and documented.

A modern switchboard trips before a fault becomes dangerous. It's the single biggest safety upgrade most Nelson Tasman homes can make.

Fault Finding & Repairs

Intermittent faults, tripping breakers and dead circuits are almost always solvable. They just need a methodical approach. Peak Electric isolates the cause properly rather than guessing at parts, then makes a permanent repair with everything documented.

HomeownersLandlordsBusinesses

What's included

  • Systematic testing, not guesswork
  • Clear explanation of the cause
  • Permanent repair, not a band-aid

What a fault finding & repairs job usually looks like

See common examples of fault finding & repairs work

Tripping breakers or RCDs

Circuit-by-circuit isolation to find the real cause.

Dead power points or lights

Fast diagnosis and lasting repair, not a temporary bypass.

Intermittent electrical faults

The tricky ones, traced properly instead of masked.

Damaged wiring repairs

Safe replacement of damaged cable runs and terminations.

A repeat-tripping RCD or hot power point is the home telling you something's wrong. Ignored, it can become a fire risk. Dealt with properly, it's usually a straightforward fix.

Outdoor & Security Lighting

Outdoor lighting done properly does three jobs at once: security, usability and looks. Peak Electric plans the layout around how you use the property, uses fittings that hold up outdoors, and runs cabling through sensible routes so it isn't obvious.

HomeownersRural propertiesCoastal homes

What's included

  • Weather-rated fittings and cabling
  • Sensor, timer and switch options
  • Sensible layouts, not overkill

What a outdoor & security lighting job usually looks like

See common examples of outdoor & security lighting work

Sensor security lights

Covering the right approaches without lighting the whole street.

Garden & path lighting

Low-key, low-glare fittings that guide rather than dazzle.

Deck & outdoor entertaining

Warm, dimmable lighting for outdoor living spaces.

Driveway & entry lighting

Welcome-home lighting on timers or sensors.

Well-placed sensor lighting is one of the most effective and lowest-cost deterrents against opportunistic entry, and it makes the property safer to walk around at night.
