About us
Bartlett Electrical was established by Dave Savage in the early 1970s. Dave was well known for his knowledge in all things electrical from large international boiler programs, working from Antarctica to Hong Kong, as well as local industrial installation and ongoing maintenance work for some of Canterbury's biggest manufacturers. Over the years, Bartlett Electrical has built some very long term relationships with its customers, both large and small.
Regular clients of ours include: Aroma NZ, Gladfield Malt, Envirowaste NZ, Roberts Engineering, Davins Industries, Superheat, CHCH Metal Finishers, CDC, Endeavour Design, Moffats Flower Co, Altherm Aluminium, Eastern Drycleaners, Risingholme Community Centre, Formosa Foods, Bartlett Concrete, Morrows Engineering, Hardford Greenhouses, Rheem NZ, Clearwater Gardens, FR8 Base, Moffat Appliances and many more!
Sadly Dave passed away in August 2012, leaving behind a thriving business to his credit. Dave's son Steve, a registered electrician, and his daughter Sarah have taken on the day to day running of the business. Along with the very supportive and experienced crew of Graeme, Adrian and Louis, Bartlett Electrical is still growing from strength to strength, managing to carry on the good honest service that Dave created many years ago. We still maintain and service Dave's "Becol" Electrode Boiler panels which are used far and wide throughout New Zealand and Australia.
