Two unlicensed electrical workers have been convicted and fined after investigations by the Electrical Workers Registration Board.
On August 9, a man pleaded guilty to two charges in the Waitakere District Court, relating to performing prescribed electrical work, installing air conditioning units, heatpumps and cool rooms at 18 commercial properties
in Auckland over a year, EWRB registrar John Sickels said.
The man also issued a number of certificates of compliance for the work, which can be issued only by a registered electrical worker.
He was fined $5000 and ordered to pay reparation of more than $3000.
On August 21, a man was fined $11,500 in Christchurch District Court on two charges of carrying out unauthorised prescribed electrical work and holding himself out as a registered electrician, Mr Sickels said.
