Our Story

When we moved to the Nelson–Tasman region 11 years ago, we quickly noticed the challenges of poor internet connectivity in rural and coastal areas. Determined to find a solution, we used our technical expertise to establish a faster, more reliable connection from Motueka to our home in Kaiteriteri. The results were an instant success — and we soon realised that many others in our community faced the same issue. That discovery became the foundation of our business.

As word spread and more people sought our help, we expanded our expertise and services. In 2020, we officially introduced electrical, networking, and security system installations, broadening our capabilities to better serve both residential and commercial clients.

Today, we proudly deliver professional electrical, networking, and security solutions throughout the Nelson and Tasman regions, operating from the heart of Richmond. Whether it’s home automation, smart technology, Wi-Fi optimisation, commercial installations, or network management, our experienced team combines technical skill with a passion for innovation and outstanding customer care.

We value honesty, reliability, and respect for every client and property we work with. Our goal is to provide consistent, high-quality results backed by trusted products and exceptional service. As problem-solvers at heart, we’re always ready to deliver creative, out-of-the-box solutions that truly work.

  • “We have used WISP Electrical on a number of occasions in recent years. They make themselves available and respond promptly to calls and messages. Their people attending on site are courteous and the work is well done; we are completely satisfied.”

    Simon Marks - Kaiteriteri

  • “Just a quick email, to thank you very much for the work you have done for us. We live out country and it can be quite difficult to get people to come out. We will definitely be calling in the future when we need some more work done.”

    Stephen and Annie Young - Dovedale

  • “We are happy to say that you have done a good job at our property and we were very impressed that you came out on Boxing Day to set our wifi up for us. Not many businesses would have done that. Thank you for your services.”

    Catherine Corsten - Riwaka

  • “We had numerous Hi Fi equipment on shelves in our lounge and the electrical cords looked a real mess. The tape deck (oldie but a goody) and the record player had not been working for many years. Also the AMP wasn't the clearest so we had more than one problem. WISP arrived and sorted everything out. We now have an amazing sound system and would recommend WISP for any further work in his area of expertise.”
