What the electricians say.
“Basis is a no-brainer for anyone building a new home, replacing an existing switchboard or simply looking to get their electricity costs under control. It's seamless to install and a delightful product to work with.”
Chris F.MD, French Electrical“Our company has been in operation since 1974 and we've seen many products come and go. There's never been something quite like the Basis Board before.”
Chris F.MD, French Electrical“It's new, innovative tech that is growing the electrical industry & safety. We love what the brand stands for and enjoy the ease of install!”
Blake S.365 Electrical, Auckland“The metering install is definitely one of the easiest I've done so far. I would highly, highly recommend anyone to get one.”
Dwaine M.AA Electrical · Livening Agent“Honestly it's just simple, so straightforward. There's not a lot of prep work feeding the breakers, and configuring the circuits is easy and flexible, so you can personalise it to suit the job. It takes a lot of the thinking out of the install, and it looks tidy once it's all in. A real no-brainer.”
