About BHC Electrical

BHC Electrical is a family-owned electrical business based in Christchurch, New Zealand, led by Broc Connelly — a Licensed Master Electrician with over 15 years of experience in the industry. Alongside Broc, Georgia manages the administration side of the business, bringing structure and responsiveness to every client interaction.

BHC specialises in bespoke electrical solutions for both residential and commercial clients, with a strong focus on precision, craftsmanship, and aesthetic design. Rather than treating electrical work as a purely functional trade, Broc brings an expert eye for detail to ensure each element complements the look and feel of the spaces he works in — from custom lighting schemes in new homes to sophisticated electrical fitouts in boutique commercial venues.

The business holds MEQA (Master Electricians Quality Assured) certification, meaning clients can be confident that every project meets the highest industry standards for safety, quality, and reliability. BHC's reputation has been built on strong, lasting client relationships — many customers return for subsequent projects, and the business continues to grow through referrals and repeat work.

BHC is a family business in every sense: Broc, Georgia, their son August, and even the family dog Finnigan are part of the BHC story. That close-knit character carries through into how the business operates — clients deal directly with Broc, communication is clear throughout, and every project receives the same care and attention regardless of size.

BHC Electrical: Christchurch's Family-Owned Master Electricians for Residential and Commercial Projects

When Broc Connelly founded BHC Electrical, he built it around a simple idea: electrical work should do more than just function — it should enhance the way a space looks and feels. Based in Christchurch and led by Broc and Georgia, BHC Electrical has spent over 15 years earning a reputation for precision, craftsmanship, and a genuine commitment to every client they work with.

Broc is a Licensed Master Electrician, a qualification that signals the highest standard of training and accountability in the industry. That credential, displayed proudly alongside MEQA (Master Electricians Quality Assured) certification, means every job BHC takes on meets rigorous safety, quality, and reliability standards — not just by industry convention, but by formal obligation.

Residential Installations That Go Beyond the Basics

For homeowners building new or undertaking a renovation, BHC Electrical offers a level of involvement that goes well beyond running cable and flipping breakers. Broc's specialty is in creating custom lighting systems — the kind designed around the specific character of a room rather than off-the-shelf plans. From bathroom mirror lighting and LED strip accents to layered living area schemes, the focus is always on how light shapes the experience of a space.

BHC also offers smart home integration and energy-efficient solutions, helping homeowners future-proof their properties while reducing running costs. The approach is tailored: solutions are designed around the individual needs and aesthetic of each project, never generic.

Many of BHC's residential clients return for subsequent projects — a testament to the care that goes into communication as much as the work itself. Broc's attention to detail and Georgia's role as administrator ensure that from the first call through to project completion, clients are kept informed at every stage.

Commercial Fitouts for Boutique Spaces

BHC's commercial work is deliberately selective. Rather than chasing volume, Broc focuses on projects where design and atmosphere matter: boutique shops, bars, and restaurants where sophisticated electrical design is integral to the experience a business creates for its customers.

This specialisation means BHC brings a considered, design-aware eye to commercial spaces — understanding that lighting placement in a bar or restaurant isn't just about illumination, it's about mood, brand, and the subtleties that make a space memorable.

A Small Business That Takes Every Project Personally

BHC Electrical is a family of four — Broc, Georgia, son August, and their dog Finnigan, who occasionally makes an appearance on site. That family character carries through to how the business operates. Projects aren't handed off to a large crew; clients deal directly with Broc, and that relationship continues across future work.

Georgia manages the administrative side of BHC alongside her work as a part-time teacher, bringing structure and responsiveness to scheduling and communication. The result is a small business that operates with the reliability of a larger firm while maintaining the personal touch that big operators often lose.

For Christchurch homeowners and business owners looking for electrical work that's done with care, creativity, and a genuine standard of quality, BHC Electrical brings all three to every project.
