“We have used Dan for several jobs, including a couple which were reasonably complex – installing a water filter, moving a power pole and renovating a studio – and which involved other contractors such as Vector, Electrix and MobiAir. Dan is so helpful, efficient and solution oriented. Nothing is ever too much of an issue or problem and he can be 100% relied upon to get the job done to a high standard. Dan is a pleasure to have around – he is positive, friendly, highly motivated and hard working. We would recommend Dan Wood Electrical without hesitation.”
Miranda and James Mizen, Whangateau
“As Warkworth residents it was important to us to have a local electrician do our renovation work for us. We asked Dan to do the job having heard about the quality of his work, the creativity he brings to jobs, and his attention to detail. Throughout our project he understood of our specific requirements and design. Dan's portion of our renovation was completed on time at every juncture, and in a very tidy and professional manner. I would have no reservation recommending Dan to anyone with substantial electrical work to be done on their home while living in it.”
Ainsley Sinclair Palairet, homeowner, Warkworth
“Finding a reliable and trustworthy Warkworth electrician isn't always an easy task. We contracted Dan Wood Electrical to wire our new home because it was immediately clear that he was professional and knowledgeable. He discussed our options with us and made suggestions and advised us on future proofing our home. We found Dan and his team always to be friendly and helpful and would use him again without question. He's such a nice guy!”
Helen Yorke, Snells Beach
“I chose Dan because he came highly recommended. Dan did all the electrical work for our new build, with a fantastic result of very well thought out design and practicality provided by Dan. Some challenges came with lighting a 5.5m high curved living area which turned out even better than expected. Dan was also the only tradesman in our build to keep under budget! He was also so easy to communicate with. Dan’s the man if you want quality and great value. We highly recommend him.”
Eugene and Helen Sims, homeowners, Kaipara.
“Dan Wood Electrical was recommended to us by our neighbour. Dan added all the extra details to our boutique accommodation, Black and White Barn Matakana, installing designer feature lighting, dimmers and keeping our property safe by installing security alarm and smoke alarms. Dan Wood Electrical is trustworthy and the quality of their work is excellent. We absolutely recommend Dan Wood Electrical to anyone who is looking for quality and excellence service.”
Simon and Amy Hope, Black and White Barn, Matakana
“We hired Dan Wood Electrical after an impressive referral. We needed a complete electrical installation for Smiths Bar in Matakana. Dan gave us amazing results – if he wasn’t so busy I would use him exclusively! I highly recommend him in all areas of electrical. He has creative answers to problems, a good eye for detail, thorough with communication and honest when it comes to invoice day. A great service by a bloody nice fella.”
Woody Richards, general manager, Smiths Bar, Matakana
