Infrared Thermography

Infrared thermography is a non-invasive diagnostic service that allows us to identify electrical faults before they become dangerous or costly failures.

Using specialist thermal imaging equipment, we can detect:

This service is ideal for:

Heat Pump Supply, Installation & Maintenance

Northstar Technical Services provides end-to-end heat pump solutions for homes and businesses across Wellington — from system selection and supply through to professional installation and long-term maintenance. We proudly supply and install Fujitsu heat pump systems, known for their reliability, energy efficiency, and performance in New Zealand conditions.

Our heat pump services include:

  • Expert advice on selecting the right Fujitsu system for your space

We take into account insulation, room size, usage patterns, and existing electrical infrastructure to ensure each heat pump system is correctly sized, safely installed, and built to perform efficiently year-round. For older Wellington homes, we assess and upgrade electrical capacity where necessary, ensuring your heat pump operates safely without overloading existing systems.

Regular maintenance helps extend system lifespan, maintain energy efficiency, and reduce the risk of unexpected breakdowns — keeping your home or workplace comfortable in every season.

  • Support healthier living and working environments

These systems are especially beneficial for:

EV Charger Installation

As electric vehicle ownership continues to grow across Wellington, Northstar Technical Services provides safe, compliant, and future-ready EV charger installations for both homes and businesses.

We recommend a site visit prior to installation, as every property’s electrical setup is different. A site assessment allows us to:

  • Check existing electrical capacity and load demand

  • Assess switchboard condition and available space

  • Identify whether electrical upgrades are required

  • Determine the safest and most efficient charger location

  • Plan for future EVs or increased charging demand

Our EV charger services include:

  • Residential and commercial EV charger installation

  • Load assessments and electrical capacity checks

  • Switchboard upgrades where required

  • Dedicated circuits and protective devices

  • Future-proofing for additional vehicles or higher charging loads

All chargers are installed to New Zealand electrical standards, ensuring your system can safely support EV charging without overload risk, nuisance tripping, or reduced performance.

A proper site visit ensures your EV charger is installed once — and installed correctly — with safety, performance, and long-term use in mind.

Solar Panel Maintenance

Regular solar panel maintenance is essential to ensure your system continues to operate safely, efficiently, and at peak performance over its full lifespan.

Our solar panel maintenance services help to:

  • Maintain optimal energy production and system efficiency

  • Identify faulty panels, loose connections, or inverter issues early

  • Reduce the risk of electrical faults and system downtime

  • Extend the lifespan of solar panels, inverters, and associated components

  • Ensure ongoing compliance with New Zealand electrical safety standards

We provide professional solar maintenance for residential and commercial systems, including visual inspections, electrical testing, performance checks, and system health reporting. For commercial sites, maintenance can be combined with infrared thermography to identify overheating components or hidden faults before they lead to failure or fire risk.

Electrical Safety Inspections

Electrical safety inspections identify hidden risks, non-compliance, and potential electrical failures before they become safety hazards or costly repairs.

For homeowners, inspections are commonly requested when:

  • Purchasing or selling a property, especially older homes

  • Experiencing frequent power trips, flickering lights, or overheating outlets

  • Renovating or adding new appliances that increase electrical load

  • Installing heat pumps, EV chargers, or solar systems

  • Gaining peace of mind that wiring and switchboards are safe and compliant

Inspections are also commonly required for: 

  • Rental properties

  • Commercial buildings

  • Ongoing compliance and risk management

Following each inspection, we provide clear, easy-to-understand reporting outlining:

  • Any safety concerns or non-compliance

  • Recommended remedial work (if required)

  • Guidance to ensure your property meets New Zealand electrical regulations and safety standards

An electrical safety inspection helps protect your home, your family, and your investment — and ensures your electrical system is safe, reliable, and fit for modern energy use.

Northstar Care Packages

Solar system removal may be required when:
