Power Logging and Electrical Energy Audits in Auckland

Energy and Power Logging for Auckland Businesses

The Conduction Company's energy and power logging is an electrician's investigation of your electricity use, measured at your main switchboard. It suits offices, warehouses, workshops, and any site where the power bill has outgrown the business, on single-phase and three-phase supplies alike.

A Calibrated Fluke 1732 on Your Switchboard

The Conduction Company uses its own calibrated Fluke 1732 energy logger. Fluke's specifications say it records voltage, current, power, power factor, and energy on single-phase and three-phase supplies, at intervals as short as one second.

A Full Week on a Commercial Site

The Conduction Company logs a commercial site for a full week, so the graph covers every working day, every night, and the weekend. Fluke's own guidance agrees: for a business that works five days and stops at the weekend, “a seven day survey will most likely capture typical conditions.”

Every Circuit Tested as It Comes On

A logger on the mains sees the whole site, not the individual machines. So an electrician from The Conduction Company switches loads on one at a time and records what each circuit draws. That is how the graph gets names: the heat pumps, the lighting, the hot water, the compressor.

A Report You Can Act On

At the end, The Conduction Company gives you a report with your usage graphs and its recommendations: what is wasting power, and what it would fix to stop it. Any fix is quoted separately, so you decide what goes ahead.

Connected Safely by a Registered Electrician

The logger connects to live conductors inside your switchboard. The Conduction Company sends a registered electrician to do it, working to AS/NZS 4836, the safe-work standard for low-voltage electrical work, which says a competent person must decide the work is safe before it starts.

The Fixes The Conduction Company Installs

Most of what the logger finds is power used when nobody needs it. The Conduction Company fixes that with simple controls, fitted on the circuits themselves or in the switchboard.

Lighting Sensors

Occupancy sensors turn lights on when someone walks in and off once the space is empty. EECA recommends them for warehouse aisles, store-rooms, and bathrooms. The Conduction Company fits them wherever the logging shows lights burning in empty spaces, the same controls it installs in its office lighting upgrades with occupancy sensors.

Time Clocks

A time clock switches lights, heating, and equipment off at a set time every day, with nobody having to remember. EECA says setting heating and cooling to run only when a building is in use can save 10 to 30% of heating and cooling energy. The Conduction Company sets the times from what your logging graph shows.

Master Switches

One switch by the door kills every light in an area, so nothing runs overnight once the last person leaves. The Conduction Company's logging shows how much is running after hours, so you can see what a master switch is worth before you pay for one.

Switchboard Automation Controls

Automation controls in the switchboard turn air conditioning, lighting, and heating off outside the hours a site is occupied. The Conduction Company installs them for commercial clients, and they are the fix behind the largest saving on this page.

What the Work Looks Like on Real Auckland Sites

A Commercial Client with 30 Staff

A commercial client of The Conduction Company had 30 staff and a problem most workplaces will recognise. In the words of Jordan Statham, The Conduction Company's director, “at least 5 ACs and multiple lights were being left on overnight by staff just forgetting before leaving for the day.” The Conduction Company installed automation control devices in the switchboard for under $2,000 including GST, equipment and installation together. They now turn the air conditioning, lighting, and heating off automatically when nobody is there, and the client started saving over $5,000 a year including GST. Those are Jordan's figures from that job, not a promise for yours.

An Auckland Training Provider's Henderson Campus

The Conduction Company carried out an energy consumption investigation at an Auckland training provider's Henderson campus in 2024. Sixteen days after the report, it quoted the fix for the automotive workshop: eleven old gas-discharge high-bay lights replaced with LED, and the switchbank split so the workshop lighting could be switched in zones. The campus approved the work. The Conduction Company does the same kind of lighting upgrades for homes and businesses across Auckland.

Power Logging for Homes

The Conduction Company logs homes too, for 24 to 72 hours, on single-phase and three-phase supplies. It is worth doing when the bill has climbed and nobody in the house can say why.

Why Is My Power Bill So High?

Check the units on your bill before the dollars. If the kWh has stayed flat, the price has gone up: MBIE figures show the average residential price per unit rose about 30% in the five years to March 2026, and comparing plans on Powerswitch may help more than any electrician. If the kWh has climbed, something is using power it did not use before, and The Conduction Company's logging finds it.

What Uses the Most Power in a House?

Usually heating and hot water. EECA says water heating makes up around a third of household energy bills. After that it depends on the house: heat pumps and air conditioning, heated towel rails, underfloor heating, a pool pump, or an EV charger. The Conduction Company's logging shows which of those is driving your bill, because the electrician tests each one as it switches on.

Your Smart Meter Shows When, Not What

Your power company already holds your usage data, often in half-hour blocks. The Electricity Authority says retailers must give you up to two years of it within five business days of asking. That shows when you use power, but not which appliance is using it. The Conduction Company's logging adds that part, and your recent bills help, so have them handy for the visit.
