Raine Electrical is a locally owned and operated electrical company serving Wellington from its base in Wainuiomata, Lower Hutt. The fully licenced and qualified team handles residential, commercial and marine work — from new builds, renovations, switchboard upgrades, lighting and power points through to EV chargers, heat pumps, office and retail fit-outs, and boat and yacht systems — with an emphasis on safe, efficient and compliant workmanship and clear communication.
What customers highlight is the way the company works: prompt, reliable and friendly service, tidy workspaces left clean, honest advice and approximate costs given before a job begins. Reviews repeatedly name team members like Jeremiah, Adam and Lucas for fast responses — including a storm call-out where an electrician arrived within the hour, and an on-the-spot generator hookup after a tree brought down a power line.
Raine Electrical is available 24/7 for urgent work, and supplies, installs, services and repairs energy-efficient heat pumps from all major brands, as well as upgrading older switchboards to modern units with circuit breakers and RCD protection. Whether it's a small fix or a full installation, the focus is on doing things properly — powering homes, businesses and boats with safety, quality and care.
Sunday evening, a storm, and half a Lower Hutt house suddenly dark. The homeowner rang Raine Electrical and Jeremiah was on site within the hour — inspecting the switchboard, tracing the fault to the main line, working out which phase had blown, then talking the family through exactly who to call and what to tell them. It's a small story, but it captures what this Wainuiomata-based company has become known for across Wellington: turn up fast, diagnose properly, and explain things clearly.
Raine Electrical is a locally owned and operated electrical business serving Wellington from its base in Wainuiomata, Lower Hutt. The team is fully licenced and qualified, and works across three very different fronts — homes, businesses and boats. Whether the job is a small fix or a full installation, the promise is a simple one: safe, efficient and compliant electrical work, delivered with clear communication and exceptional workmanship.
On the residential side, Raine Electrical powers homes across the region through new builds and renovations, handling everything from switchboard upgrades and lighting to power points, heat pumps and EV chargers. Commercial clients — offices, retail stores, hospitality venues and small industrial operations — call on the team for fit-outs, data, lighting and ongoing maintenance.
Then there's the marine work, which sets the company apart from most suburban electrical firms. Qualified marine electricians look after boats and yachts, covering installations and fault-finding, battery systems, lighting, navigation equipment and shore power — keeping vessels both powered and compliant.
Heat pumps are one of Raine Electrical's core specialties. The team supplies, installs, services and repairs energy-efficient units from all major brands — wall-mounted split systems, floor consoles and ducted whole-house options — matching model and size to each space and budget. In Wellington's changeable climate, modern inverter technology means fast, even, quiet temperature control with low running costs, whether it's a bedroom, an open-plan kitchen or a small office.
Switchboard upgrades go hand in hand with that work. Older boards are replaced with modern units carrying circuit breakers and RCD protection, improving both safety and compliance for homes and businesses alike.
Raine Electrical advertises availability 24/7, and the reviews suggest they mean it. One customer credits Jeremiah, Adam and Lucas with possibly saving his life after a tree brought down the power line to his house — the crew arrived straight away, rigged up a generator on the spot, and returned as soon as a trench was ready for the new cable. Another praises a quick, well-priced EV charger installation in a townhouse, where the team found a tidier solution than other installers had suggested. Communication earns repeated mentions too: costs flagged before work starts, and sites left clean afterwards.
The company's own list of what it stands behind is refreshingly unglamorous: fully licenced and qualified electricians, locally owned and operated, prompt, reliable and friendly service, clean, tidy and respectful work, and clear quotes with honest advice. For anyone deciding who to let loose on their wiring, those unglamorous things are usually the ones that matter most.
Getting in touch is straightforward — call 027 341 7873 or send an enquiry through the website, any hour of the day. Whether you're building new, upgrading an old switchboard, chasing warmth in winter or keeping a boat seaworthy, Raine Electrical is set up to do it all — and, by every account, to do it right.
