Graham is great. Upfront, reliable and honest. He carried out the job exactly as we wanted it(new switchboard and sub board). He managed to fit the new board into the original tight space, something another electrician would/could not do. To top it off he is also good company.

What an absolute gentleman, I contacted him about an electrical problem I was having and he set me down the right path (putting himself out of a job in the process). Was only too happy to advise me. As soon as I need an electrician I know exactly who I'm going to call.

Graeme Staples: another great customer who appreciates good work when they see it by an experienced tradesman
Did a really good job installing our rangehood. Got some good points in helping making some decisions. It turn out to be a bit cheaper than his quoted price. Would definitely use his service again.

I found Graeme to be an excellent electrician who charged a fair price, and offered sound advice. He was thorough and conscientious in his work, and left our place clean and tidy upon completion. I highly recommend him, and will not hesitate to use him again in the future should the need arise. Thanks Graeme!

Graeme Staples: Thanks Drew for providing the correct details on oven model number, made my job easier and in doing so meant i didn't have to travel for parts once i was there and the job was simply cheaper in the end.
Before I called Graeme I read the feedback and I'm very happy to say he was exactly as they said he was. He did a few extras as well and charged a very reasonable price for his work. I will be more than happy to call him up again if need be.

Graeme Staples: thank you Tui, and it was nice to sit done and have a beer with you while we tuned in your new TV.
Had Graeme come around to have a look a few issues which he dealt with promptly and effectively. He offered a few different solutions to cater to my needs and budget, and provided the right information around safety and energy efficiency to let me decide which one is the most suitable before going ahead to do the work. I was very happy with the results. I'll definitely have him back in the future to do any other work I need done.

Absolutely terrific service. We live out of town and needed work done on a rental property. Spyda did a great job. He gave great advice and worked out the most cost effective solutions rather than just replacing things. He communicated clearly with us and the tennants. Would strongly recommend Spyda and definitely use again.

Graeme Staples: Thanks Fiona, a bit of running around and cross referencing prices to get it to work meant we didn't have to replace the old strange sized fan light heat unit in the bathroom, instead fit some new parts and get another 15 years out of them. I maybe retired when they need work again but get hold of me if they need doing eh? thanks for the work.
Excellent service and very sound advice given. Also takes great pride in his work. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great electrician. Would not hesitate to use for all our work around the house. Thank you so much for your service

Graeme Staples: Thanks Folks, always do the job like i'd hope someone else would do for me. Graeme
Highly recommend Graeme. Not only did he go out of his way to do the work on time, but was professional - he also fixed an issue the heat pump guy missed, and gave some great advice on lighting. Could go about how great he was, but easier for you to find out yourself. Will definitely hire him again.

Graeme Staples: I don't recognise the name and have no electronic record of you sorry. I'm picking I've taken your call while under a floor or something, written your number on a bit of paper or box and it hasn't made it to my job book. Apologies for that Joe and I hope you've taken the time to place good feedback on the Electrician who did do the job in the end.
Graeme did a great job! He was efficient and had a sensible approach - no mucking about here. He was pretty much spot on with his initial quote as well. Would recommend him to everyone and will definately be our go-to from now on. Thanks!

Graeme Staples: good folk to deal with, knew roughly what they wanted over the phone so saved me a trip across town and with that i could give a pretty well spot on estimate. With the minimum hour not used up I took the opportunity to make sure other things were going to be good in the future that's the value for money The Electric Spider provides.
It was a while ago that we got Spyda to do some work here. Couldn't believe his sensible approach to everything he did, thinks ahead for any issues and addresses them on the spot very cost effectively. He was very quick and really on top of the jobs he did. This guy really knows his job and doesn't muck around at your expense. We will definitely use him again.

Graeme Staples: After less than two hours I'll post a reply... Easy customer to deal with and paid straight away and the added bonus of having them crawl under the floor and in the roof space; a luxury for someone that pretty well always works solo and have to do this myself. Thanks Drew
Great service, did some extra work for me as he found some other faults while doing the job I called him for, at no extra charge as it fit into his min call out time. That is service you don't find too often these days. Would definitely recommend.

Graeme Staples: Rod and Mandy are personal friends but they wouldn't have got me up to auckland for several trips unless they were sure that I could manage the job from faraway with unfamiliar builders etc, and it was going to cost them more. It was a neat project and can't wait for the housewarming...
Couldn't recommend this guy more. We spent 4 days without power during the outage after the big storm last month. I tried to get several "24 hour" providers to come out without success. One phone-call to The Electric Spider and he came out in the dark in less than an hour and we were hooked up again in an hour and a half. AAA+

We had Graeme do some work for us recently. We are delighted with the work. Graeme's communication pre coming out was great and we knew in advance what we would expect to pay. I'm sure we would have paid a lot more anywhere else. Thanks Graeme we are extremely grateful and impressed with a great service. Will def use again for any electrical work. Graeme took the time also to give Stu some contacts for bike clubs- much appreciated and he will follow up. Highly recommend A++++

Graeme has done a fantastic job. Fitted numerous new light fittings, new wires and a new power point. Best electrician I have had so far and I will certainly use him again in future jobs when needed. Very approachable, friendly, honest, knowledgable and professional. Does his job by the rules. Also provided some good suggestions and advice. Highly recommended.

Graeme came a couple of weeks ago to fix our kichen and oven lights and while here he noticed some exposed wiring on the security lights in the driveway. He fixed this as well, even finding matching replacements. Excellent service, thank you

Graeme Staples: Unsafe wiring is well worth taking a look at before it catches someone out and before it deteriorates further so only too glad to point it out and getting your driveway lights sorted before winter. Thanks for your review and prompt payment, it's appreciated
Graeme was fantastic to deal with, very friendly and had the expertise and knowledge we required to remedy numourous electrical jobs that we had been neglecting for a while. If you need a sparki you wont be disapointed if you use Graeme.
