Project stories and practical guides from TOPA Electrical, an electrical contractor based in Wigram, Christchurch. Real projects, real numbers, and straight answers to the questions Canterbury customers ask us.
TOPA Electrical delivered the electrical work for the Golden Hotel on Riccarton Road, Christchurch: a three-level, 30-room hotel with a custom lighting solution and integrated automation and control, plus the independent Ngon Ngon Cafe on the ground floor.
In the 12 months of 2021, TOPA Electrical completed the electrical work for more than 250 houses in Canterbury. By 2022 the total had passed 800 new builds, and the company has now wired more than 1,090 new homes for builders including Kevler Homes and Fletcher Living.
TOPA Electrical provides urgent and scheduled electrical maintenance for multi-location businesses across Canterbury, with 24/7 support options. Clients include BP, Harvey Norman and a number of Christchurch motels, and the team is fully certified for work in Westfield shopping centres.
TOPA Electrical offers three solar packages for Christchurch homes, from a 4.75 kW Solar Starter at $7,999 + GST to a 6.65 kW system with a Tesla Powerwall 3 at $24,999 + GST. All are installed by a Tesla Energy Certified Installer and SEANZ member; prices exclude scaffolding and cover standard rooftop installation.
Charging an EV from a standard wall socket is slow and inefficient. A dedicated, professionally installed charger is faster, safer and can be scheduled from an app. TOPA Electrical, a Tesla Certified Installer, has installed 88 EV and solar systems and checks your switchboard capacity before every install.
TOPA Electrical installs three PDL Wiser smart home packages in Christchurch homes: Smart Essential ($990 + GST, 10 light circuits), Smart Start ($1,599 + GST, Wiser Hub and 5 circuits) and Smart Comfort ($3,799 + GST, Wiser Hub, 10 circuits, bathroom fan and heater control and sensors). Every package is fully installed, configured and expandable.
