Owner Ethan Kelly started the company in 2018 and has never looked back. It now employs six trade sta , including three apprentices, which is not only an investment in the business, but also in the wider industry, Ethan says. As a locally owned company, Leading Electrical Dunedin has developed strong relationships with other businesses and residential clients in the region. Ethan and his team are focused on being approachable and have a reputation for delivering high quality electrical solutions and outstanding customer service, but “not the most expensive”. The company’s close relationship with Steadfast Joinery, which is known for its highly creative designs, is a good example of collaborating to achieve an excellent result that both the client and the businesses are proud of, Ethan says. Leading Electrical Dunedin’s services includes providing a full package design and installation service. “There’s not much we don’t do when it comes to residential and light commercial work.” For new builds such as an architecturally designed home, electrical work is a crucial component that must be carefully planned and executed to ensure that the inished product meets both aesthetic and functional requirements, Ethan says. “The irst step in any new build project is to work closely with the architect to understand the overall vision for the project. This includes the placement of electrical outlets, lighting ixtures, and other electrical components.” It is important to collaborate with the architect early on to ensure that the electrical plan is integrated seamlessly into the design, while in the electrical design factors such as energy e iciency, safety, and ease of use are key considerations. Lighting is an intrinsic part of interior and exterior house design and adds signi icantly to the look and feel of spaces inside and out and, with LED luminaries including strip lighting there are numerous options available to create the x-factor. “With energy costs on the rise, it's important to consider energy e iciency when designing the electrical system. This includes using energy-e icient lighting ixtures, appliances, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, data and fresh air systems, as well as incorporating renewable energy sources like solar panels. “By working closely with the architect, designing an e icient and safe electrical system, and choosing the right components and ixtures, you can ensure that your new home is both beautiful and functional.” RESIDENTIAL • COMMERCIAL • MARINE • SOLAR 027 550 5022 www.dunedinelectrician.co.nz Your qualified team of trusted electricians with over 30 years of experience in commercial, residential, marine and solar electrical work.
