With eSwitch users can simply log into the system from an app on their phone and turn on lights, unlock or lock venues or set a schedule for any of these functions. It also generates reports on data such as energy consumption and who has accessed venues and for how long etc. “The feedback we have got from the system has been really positive,” says Robert. “Once set up it requires minimal maintenance and we can log on remotely from anywhere and identify and fix issues as required. eSwitch is something we can provide to sports clubs and councils New Zealand wide.” Robert’s father Kevin originally established AK Electrical in the seventies. Robert completed his apprenticeship with the company and took it over in 2017. AK Electrical completes all manner of commercial and residential electrical projects. The company employs a team of around ten licensed and qualified staff and is a member of the Electrical Contractors Association of New Zealand (ECANZ), and the Master Electrician Association of New Zealand (ECANZ). Robert says that AK Electrical has developed a sound reputation for its skill and customer service over the years and enjoys many long-term clients such as Auckland City Parks, which it has been working for over decades. The familiarity of dealing with this client over so many years means AK Electrical has an in-depth knowledge of its systems and requirements, having developed close relationships with the facility managers around Auckland. He cites attention to detail, fast and efficient service and the company’s ability to offer specialist expertise, such as working at height and working on specialised lighting control systems such as Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) completing both the mechanical and programing aspects as key advantages for AK Electrical’s clients. Other services include new system installations, upgrades, retrofits, data cabling, surge protection, generator and UPS systems and more. “Our team of electricians, electrical engineers, electrical inspectors and DALI qualified service techs are always ready to assist on any project, no matter how large or small. At AK Electrical we aim to be number one in service and are proud to offer quality electrical services to our customers.” Switched on sports lighting
