Our Story

Carson Electrical began trading in 1989, and in 1995 became a NZ Registered Company.  Chris & Bridget began the company as a home based business,  with Mark & Debbie joining the company in 2006 – Mark having been an employee since 1996.

The business has grown steadily since 1990, thriving on a philosophy of looking after customers and staff and always delivering quality work.  We now have a staff of 14 with a fleet of 12 vehicles, and are based in commercial premises in East Tamaki.
