Legacy Electrical Solutions is a Wellington region electrical services company based in Upper Hutt, formerly known as Fayen Electrical. The business has served Wellington homes and businesses for over 25 years, recently rebranding while keeping the same team and standard of service.
Kevin has run and managed the company since 2017, after working with the previous owner, and Jono has since joined as co-owner - having begun his apprenticeship within the business back in 2017, giving him a deep grounding in its history and standards. Together they lead a team of Registered Master Electricians offering a workmanship guarantee of up to $20,000, and licensed to test and repair emergency lighting as well as carry out electrical testing for insurance purposes.
The company covers residential and commercial electrical work, heating and ventilation systems, and solar installation, serving Kapiti, Wairarapa, Hutt Valley and the wider Wellington region. On the residential side, the team handles everything from home renovations and new builds to maintenance and call outs, including kitchen and bathroom renovation electrical work, outdoor lighting, hot water cylinder issues, appliance wiring, spa pool wiring, switchboard upgrades, and security lighting and camera installations. On the commercial side, they support construction companies, builders, and government agencies across commercial and industrial sites.
For heating and ventilation, Legacy installs and maintains energy-efficient systems including fully ducted heat pumps, high-wall heat pumps, air conditioning, and advanced ventilation, working with trusted brands like Mitsubishi Electric heat pumps and the Mitsubishi Electric Lossnay ventilation system, alongside SmartVent Positive Pressure systems.
Legacy Electrical Solutions is the new name for a business Wellington homeowners and builders have relied on for over 25 years. Formerly known as Fayen Electrical, the company has long been recognised for its reliability, workmanship, and strong relationships within the local community - and the rebrand is designed to carry that reputation forward under a new name rather than start from scratch.
The leadership story behind Legacy is one of steady continuity. Kevin has run and managed the company since 2017, having worked under the previous owner before taking over. More recently, Jono joined as co-owner - but his connection to the business goes back further, having started his apprenticeship there in 2017. That history gives him a deep understanding of the company's standards and values, and together Kevin and Jono describe their partnership as bringing both continuity and forward momentum to the business.
Legacy Electrical Solutions covers four core service areas: residential electrical, commercial electrical, heating and ventilation, and solar. On the residential side, the team handles home renovations, new builds, electrical maintenance, and call outs, with a particular love for kitchen and bathroom renovation work done alongside builders and architects. They also wire in ovens and appliances, install outdoor lighting, connect spa pools, and can advise on hot water cylinder issues (calling in a plumber if the fault turns out not to be electrical).
On switchboards specifically, the team maintains and upgrades distribution boards to keep homes safe and compliant - flickering lights or lost power to part of a home are signs worth getting checked - and can fit recessed flush doors to keep wiring tidily stacked away. For security, they install sensor lights for dark spots around a property and camera systems to help protect against intruders.
On the commercial side, Legacy supports construction companies, builders, and government agencies with electrical services across commercial and industrial sites.
Heating and ventilation is a particular focus for the team, who describe themselves as dedicated to creating warmer, healthier, and more sustainable homes. They design and install fully ducted heat pump systems, high-wall heat pumps and air conditioning units, and advanced ventilation systems for healthier indoor air - working with trusted brands including Mitsubishi Electric heat pumps and the Mitsubishi Electric Lossnay ventilation system, which recovers heat from outgoing air to maximise energy savings while bringing in fresh air. They also offer SmartVent Positive Pressure ventilation systems. For Wellington homes chasing Healthy Homes compliance, the team recommends fully ducted systems that meet the standard while optimising energy use, and the whole process starts with a consultation to assess a home's needs before a customised plan is put together.
Solar installation rounds out the offering, aimed at reducing energy costs and increasing efficiency for Wellington properties.
Legacy's team are Registered Master Electricians, which comes with a workmanship guarantee of up to $20,000. They're also licensed to test and repair emergency lighting, and offer electrical testing for insurance purposes - useful for anyone needing documentation on their home's electrical safety.
Customer reviews on the site describe the team as professional, reliable, and responsive - including one customer who had a problem fixed after hours when their power went out. Another described a full house re-wiring and ducted air conditioning installation completed in three days, with the team cleaning up thoroughly at the end of each day's work.
Legacy Electrical Solutions is based at 3 Blenheim Street, Upper Hutt, and its electricians work across Kapiti, Wairarapa, Hutt Valley, and the wider Wellington region. The team is open Monday to Friday, 7.30am to 5pm, and can be reached on 027 3262 034 or at [email protected].
