Standby Generator Installation in Auckland
When the power goes out, a standby generator keeps the house or the site running. The Conduction Company supplies, installs, services, and certifies standby generators across Auckland, including the changeover gear that decides how the switch actually happens.
Are You Experiencing Problems with Backup Power?
Without a standby generator and the changeover gear behind it, an outage stops everything, and a portable unit run through an extension lead can back-feed the network and endanger anyone working on the lines. The Conduction Company supplies, installs, services, and certifies standby generators across Auckland, including the switchboard work where the generator meets the board.
Keeping Your Property Safe, Compliant, and Running Smoothly
Our reliable electrician team in Auckland handles everything from emergency breakdowns to preventative maintenance, helping Auckland homes stay safe,compliant, and efficient all year round.
Generator Services in Auckland
Standby Generator Supply and Installation
The Conduction Company supplies and installs standby generators for homes, commercial sites, and rural properties. We size it around the loads you actually need running, not around the whole switchboard.
Changeover Switches
The changeover switch is the part that decides whether you flip something by hand or the generator just picks up. The Conduction Company installs both manual and automatic changeover gear, and will tell you which one is worth the money for your situation.
Generator Connection Points
If you already own a portable generator, the safe way to use it is a proper inlet and changeover, not an extension lead through a window. The Conduction Company installs the connection point and isolates it from the network supply, which is the part that protects the people working on the lines.
Generator Servicing and Maintenance
A standby generator that has not run in a year is not a standby generator. The Conduction Company services generators on a schedule, exercises them under load, and reports on what needs attention.
Batteries and Trickle Chargers
The single most common reason a standby generator does not start is a flat battery. The Conduction Company replaces generator batteries and fits trickle chargers so the machine is charged when it is finally needed.
Fault Finding on an Existing Generator
Inherited a generator, or it stopped working and nobody knows why. The Conduction Company tests it, finds the fault, and gives you a straight repair or replace answer.
Switchboard Work for Generator Connection
Connecting a generator usually means work at the board. The Conduction Company does the switchboard side and the generator side together, so there is one company responsible for how they meet.
SOLO Generators
The Conduction Company supplies and installs SOLO generators. SOLO's New Zealand range runs from 2.3kW inverter generators up to 9kW, alongside open frame gensets from 2.5kW to 8kW, so there is a machine for a small standby setup and a machine for a much bigger one.
Why The Conduction Company Fits SOLO
The inverter models produce cleaner power than an open frame machine, which matters for anything with electronics in it. The range is wide enough that The Conduction Company can size the machine around the loads you actually need running, rather than around what happens to be on the shelf.
One Company for the Generator and the Connection
Buying the machine is the easy half. The Conduction Company supplies the SOLO unit, installs the changeover gear, does the switchboard work, and certifies the connection, so one company is responsible for how it all goes together.
Why choose The Conduction Company?
It Is Electrical Work, and It Is Certified
A generator connection is prescribed electrical work, and a bad one back-feeds the network. The Conduction Company uses registered electricians and issues the certificate for the installation.
Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee
The Conduction Company backs its workmanship for life. The generator carries its manufacturer's warranty, which is a separate thing and not ours to extend.
One Company for the Generator and the Board
The Conduction Company does the switchboard, the changeover, and the generator connection, rather than leaving the client to coordinate a supplier and an electrician who have never spoken.

Needed a trustworthy electrician for my mother, TCC had lots of great reviews online so we called in and they made the process very easy. Mum loved the guys who showed up to do the job, the service & the work quality were both excellent. Thanks again and you'll hear from us soon.
We had Ollie and Kegan install a hanging pendant light in our entry way. They were super professional and did a fantastic job. We had great communication with them, really easy to deal with, highly recommend.
Top notch business. Service was A+++. Arrived on time. Technicians introduced themselves on arrival. Very polite. Extremely efficient. Quietly went about their work. Business booking system was great. Quick and well laid out. Payment system likewise, very smooth.
We have used these guys a couple of times and have been very pleased each time. They did what was requested, but also left an immaculate job, with extra touches like labels on the switches for our outdoor lights. We will definitely be using Jordan and the team again!

Excellent work done by the extremely responsive team. Max attended to the job at our house and was extremely good and professional. Great job.
What a great experience from start to finish. Jordan who came to quote was very helpful and knowledgeable, giving us great ideas for what we could apply in our home. The quote was thorough and detailed, booking was easy, kept us updated the whole time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Standby Generator Installation in Auckland
How big a generator do I need?
That comes out of which circuits you want running, not out of the size of the house. The Conduction Company works through the loads with you and sizes it from that.
Do I get a certificate for the installation?
Yes. Connecting a generator to an installation is prescribed electrical work, and The Conduction Company issues the electrical safety certificate for it.
Do you work on generators you did not install?
Yes. The Conduction Company services, repairs, and fault finds on existing generators, including ones that came with the property.
Does a standby generator need servicing?
Yes, and it is the part people skip. A generator sitting unused for a year very often will not start when it is finally needed, usually because of the battery. The Conduction Company services generators, exercises them, and fits trickle chargers to keep them ready.
Manual or automatic changeover, which do I need?
It depends on whether you need the power back in seconds or you are happy to walk out and flip a switch. The Conduction Company will tell you which one is worth it for your property rather than defaulting to the more expensive option.
Can I just run an extension lead from a portable generator?
Please do not. Back-feeding a house through a socket puts voltage onto the network and endangers anyone working on the lines. The Conduction Company installs a proper inlet and changeover switch, which isolates the property from the supply before the generator can feed anything.

Site Assessment

Fixed Price Quote

Install, Test, and Certify
The Conduction Company installs it, tests it under load, certifies it, and hands it over with the paperwork.
What Affects the Cost of a Generator Installation?
Which loads you want to keep running, whether the changeover is manual or automatic, how far the generator sits from the switchboard, and what the existing board can take. A single essential-circuits setup and a whole-property automatic system are different projects. The Conduction Company prices it after looking at the site.
We quote on facts, not guesses
Before we give you a price, we carry out a proper assessment of your property and how you'll use the generator.
That way you know exactly what you're buying and the total cost, with no surprises.
