MAGFOX Electrical is a Wellington-based electrical contracting business formed in 2018 by Andy Maguren and Josh Foxall, who bring over 30 years of combined electrical experience to residential, commercial and maintenance work across Wellington, Porirua, the Hutt Valley, Kapiti and South Wairarapa. The pair completed their electrical apprenticeships together at the same company, worked together for years in the commercial and maintenance industries, and later reunited to form MAGFOX Electrical.
The business specialises in all aspects of electrical installations, from new builds and renovations to additions, alongside heating and cooling systems and general electrical maintenance. MAGFOX is an accredited Daikin and Fujitsu installer, with experience installing heat pumps, air conditioning, underfloor and central heating systems, and also covers phone and data, EV chargers, security alarms and CCTV, ventilation, and TV and audio installations.
Customer reviews highlight fast, professional responses to urgent electrical issues, including same-day fixes for lighting problems and quick call-outs when heat pumps have failed in winter, with the team praised for clear communication and getting customers back up and running while liaising with original installers where needed.
MAGFOX Electrical was formed in 2018 by Andy Maguren and Josh Foxall, two licensed and registered electricians who had already built a long working relationship before starting the business together. The pair completed their electrical apprenticeships at the same company, then worked together for years in the commercial and maintenance industries before life took them in different directions - and eventually brought them back together to form MAGFOX Electrical, with over 30 years of combined electrical experience between them.
MAGFOX specialises in all aspects of electrical installations, from new builds and renovations to additions and general maintenance, serving both residential and commercial clients. On the residential side, the team covers all electrical and networking aspects of a project with clear communication throughout. Commercial work spans maintenance, lighting design and upgrades, repairs, and new installations tailored to each business's requirements.
A particular strength of MAGFOX is heating, ventilation and air conditioning. The team is an accredited Daikin and Fujitsu installer, with experience across heat pumps, air conditioning, underfloor heating and central heating systems, designing and building systems to suit a range of requirements. Beyond climate control, MAGFOX also handles phone and data wiring, EV charger installation, security alarms and CCTV, ventilation systems, and TV and audio setups, making the business a broad one-stop option for both new projects and ongoing maintenance.
MAGFOX describes its approach around a few core principles: quality craftsmanship, careful time management, and clear communication and liaison with everyone involved in a project. The team commits to working within strict time frames and being available when needed, while maintaining a high standard of safety and professionalism throughout. As the business puts it, choosing MAGFOX means getting a true partner dedicated to a project's requirements, not just a contractor ticking boxes.
Reviews of MAGFOX consistently highlight speed and professionalism under pressure. One customer, Lainey, needed an electrician at short notice and found that Josh responded quickly and professionally, fixing a lighting issue on the same day. Chris described being very satisfied with the professional and efficient work delivered by Andy and his crew. Perhaps most tellingly, Parvathy described a heat pump failure at the start of winter: Josh responded immediately, arranged for Andy to inspect it the next day, and in the meantime got the unit running again so the household wasn't left without heating, while also liaising with the original installers about the relatively new unit. The service was described as very professional and superb.
Both founders bring a personal touch to the business. Andy is a family man heavily involved in his kids' sports and activities, and enjoys diving, hunting, fishing and a cold brew in his spare time. Josh similarly values family time and anything sports-related, often found outdoors diving, hunting, fishing, or at the gym, and shares Andy's appreciation for a cold brew or two.
