A switchboard is the heart of every electrical installation, and it’s one of the few things we think should never be an off-the-shelf compromise. Best Forsyth Electrical has been designing and manufacturing switchboards for more than 25 years, and we’re the local agent for BREMCA Switchgear, New Zealand-made systems with a reputation for quality.
From drawing board to installed and certified
Our workshop in Hastings builds everything from domestic distribution boards to industrial motor control centres and custom control panels. Every board starts with design: we work from your electrical drawings, or produce them ourselves, sizing the gear correctly and leaving sensible room for future expansion. Then we build, wire, label, and test the board in our workshop before it ever reaches your site.
Because manufacture happens locally, lead times are short and changes are easy. Need an extra circuit added mid-project, or a modification to a board we built ten years ago? The people who built it are here, along with the records.
Data, networks, and the jobs in between
The same care goes into low-voltage work: structured data cabling, network points, fibre terminations, and Wi-Fi infrastructure for homes, offices, and industrial sites. And yes, we genuinely do the odd jobs in between. If it has wires, we can sort it.
Supplying electricians and contractors too
We build boards for other electrical contractors and project managers across New Zealand and beyond; see our international electrical service for containerised and export projects.
