ATL Electrical is a Christchurch-based electrical contracting company that has grown from two electricians in 2007 to a team of 30 multi-skilled professionals serving the Canterbury and West Coast regions. Licensed electricians handle residential, commercial, and industrial electrical work — from a single power outlet to full commercial fit-outs and large construction projects — and the business is available 24/7 for electrical emergencies.
Over the years ATL has built out specialist divisions well beyond general electrical work. Heat pumps are a major focus, with the business supplying and installing units from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Rinnai, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and Haier, and handling ducted systems, hot water heat pumps, commercial heat pumps, and Lossnay ventilation. They are a Daikin Certified Installer and hold authorised dealer status for several brands.
The automation division holds Control4 Gold Dealer status — one of the more advanced credentials for smart home installation in New Zealand — and also works with Sonos audio, KNX building automation, and C-Bus commercial lighting control. Additional specialist services include solar power, EV charger installation, ATL Designer Lighting, energy management systems, BEAM central vacuum installation, and security systems. Finance is available for qualifying purchases. ATL holds a SiteWise Green 2026 certification.
ATL Electrical started in 2007 with two electricians and a simple idea: deliver quality electrical work to Christchurch and Canterbury homeowners and businesses. Eighteen years later, the company has grown into a team of 30 multi-skilled professionals operating across residential, commercial, and industrial electrical contracting — plus specialist divisions for automation, heat pumps, solar, EV charging, security, and more.
The growth hasn't come at the expense of the original commitment. ATL's pitch remains straightforward: reliable work, done right, by people who know what they're doing. They hold a SiteWise Green 2026 certification and a Control4 Gold Dealer status — credentials that reflect consistent quality across health, safety, and technical competence.
ATL's electrical division covers the full spectrum — from a single power outlet at home to large-scale commercial fit-outs and industrial projects. The team works with construction companies on new developments, brings architects' visions to life in bespoke residential builds, and handles routine faults and repairs for homeowners across Christchurch, Canterbury, and the West Coast.
For urgent situations, ATL is available 24/7 on 0800 555 770 — one of the few electrical contractors in the region who genuinely operate around the clock.
Heat pumps are a major focus at ATL, and the depth of their offering shows it. They supply and install units from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Rinnai, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Haier, and Fisher & Paykel — covering the full range from standard high-wall units to ducted whole-home systems, multi-room Omnicore setups, and hot water heat pumps.
For landlords, they handle Healthy Homes compliance requirements. For existing owners, they offer servicing, maintenance, and repair. The Lossnay ventilation range from Mitsubishi addresses condensation and air quality — a common issue in Canterbury homes, particularly in winter.
ATL is a Daikin Certified Installer and an authorised dealer for Mitsubishi Electric and Rinnai, which means direct access to warranty support and the full product ranges from those brands.
ATL holds Control4 Gold Dealer status, making them one of the most qualified smart home automation installers in the Canterbury region. Control4 is a professional-grade home automation platform — lighting control, audio-visual integration, security, climate, and access — and Gold status reflects sales volume and technical competence with the system.
Beyond Control4, ATL works with Sonos audio systems, KNX (the international building automation standard used in commercial and high-end residential projects), and C-Bus (Clipsal's commercial lighting and automation platform). For larger commercial or industrial automation projects, the team brings the same credentials to building management and industrial control systems.
ATL's solar division handles residential solar installations, and they offer a residential solar package for homeowners looking to reduce power bills. Their energy management systems division ties solar production, battery storage, and consumption together into a managed whole — rather than just bolting panels on the roof and hoping for the best.
EV charger installation is a growing part of the business, with ATL handling home and commercial charger installation across Christchurch and Canterbury.
Security offerings include home and commercial security systems and site security towers for construction sites and events. Hikvision is among their technology partners for CCTV and monitoring.
ATL also installs BEAM central vacuum systems and operates ATL Designer Lighting — a specialist lighting design and supply arm for residential and commercial projects. Finance is available for larger purchases and installations.
