Three things we're known for
Registered Inspector
Caravan EWOFs, verifications and inspections
Caravan EWOFs, Certificates of Verification on existing or uncertified work, switchboard inspections, main earthing checks, generator changeovers and independent inspections for other sparkies. Charly is registered with the EWRB as both an Electrician and an Electrical Inspector, so he can take on independent inspection work, not just installation.

Grid-tied, hybrid and off-grid solar
Solar and battery for homes, farms and businesses around Ngatea, including hybrid and off-grid setups. We work out the right size from your actual power use and how the property runs, so you're not paying for panels you won't get value from.

Charly The Sparky is a locally owned electrical team based in Ngatea, run by Charly Frey. We're small on purpose. The same people turn up to your job, get to know your place and your wiring, and they're still the ones you call the next time something needs doing.
Most of our work comes from customers who have us back again and again. We turn up when we say we will, talk through your options in plain language before we start, and leave the place tidy. Whether it's a quick repair or a full rewire, you're dealing with one team that stands behind the work.
Proud members and partners

Common questions
The questions we get asked most.
Ngatea and the towns around it – Paeroa, Thames, Waihi, Te Kauwhata and along the Thames Coast. If you're not sure whether we get out your way, just ask. The full list is on our service areas page.
Yes. Charly holds both registrations with the Electrical Workers Registration Board – Electrician (E253525) and Inspector (I104520). For most jobs he carries out and certifies the work himself; higher-risk work like grid-connected solar is signed off by an independent inspector, which he arranges.
Yes – milking sheds are everyday work for us. Wiring, refrigeration, hot water, effluent pumps and vat alarms, all done to the standards that apply in wet, hard-working farm sheds. See our rural electrical page for the full range of farm work.
Often, yes – especially if you use a fair bit of power during the day. We size the system around how you actually use power, not just the size of your roof. Have a look at our solar power page for the systems we install.
Yes. Old rewireable-fuse boards don't meet current standards, and a lot of insurers now treat them as a risk. We fit a modern RCD-protected board, tested and certified, usually in a single visit.
Yes – manual or automatic changeover switches. A badly wired generator can backfeed the grid and put line crews at risk, so we install and test both sides properly.
Yes – wall chargers for new builds and existing homes. We'll check your supply can handle it, and on a new build we get it in before the place is finished.
