Frequently Asked Questions
What is the lead time required for a small distribution board, or something bigger?
Lead times vary depending on the size of the board, cabinetry used and the type of components specified. A small DB may only require a couple of days, whereas a larger board will need a number of weeks. We start building your board once we have all the relevant information and drawings approved. It is important to get the design right so that the solution meets the requirements.
Do you charge for quotations and site visits?
No. We don’t charge for quotes and site visits in the Wellington region are all part of the service. Our repeat customers value that our workmanship is excellent and we are competitively priced.
We stock a range of commonly used MCBs, MCCBs, isolators, contactors, enclosures and enclosure mounting components, pan assemblies, masking panels and copper bar. Components not held in stock can often be ordered in overnight.
