Fifteen years on the tools, allergic to messy switchboards. Runs the new-build and renovation crews, and still takes the odd 2am fault call.
About Arcfield
Eight sparkies, five vans, zero mystery
Jamie Woods and Tess Ngata started Arcfield in 2014 with a laminated sheet of prices and one van with a dodgy starter motor. The prices are still published. The van has been retired with honours.
The founders
Tess Ngata
Co-founder · Registered Electrician
The reason the quotes are fixed and the callbacks happen. Runs service work and the apprentice programme — two of our sparkies started as her apprentices.
How we work
CoC on every job
A Certificate of Compliance isn't an upsell — it's the law, and it's your proof the work is safe. Ours arrives by email before the invoice does.
Fixed quotes that stay fixed
The quote is the invoice. If we find something unexpected mid-job, work stops until you've approved the change in writing.
Tidy or it isn't finished
Drop sheets down, dust vacuumed, offcuts gone. The job's not done while there's evidence we were there.
Apprentices, properly trained
Two apprentices on the crew, always supervised, never left to solo your switchboard. That's how trades are supposed to work.

The reviews write themselves
“The price on the website was the price on the invoice. Switchboard done in a day, every circuit labelled, and they vacuumed. I didn't know sparkies vacuumed.”
“EV charger quoted, installed and signed off inside a week. The load management thing they insisted on has meant zero tripped breakers — unlike my neighbour's install.”
“Power went out at 11pm with a newborn in the house. Tess talked me through checking the RCD over the phone first to save the call-out fee. It fixed it. Who does that?”
No power? Burning smell? RCD won't reset?
The fault line answers 24/7. After-hours call-out is $189 including the first hour — told to you on the phone, before anyone gets in a van.
