What Our Clients Say

“I would like to recommend the AV team at Aotea Electric Southern Ltd. for the incredible job they did restoring and then reconnecting my father with his Serbian Television channels via a new satellite decoder.

Kevin is an excellent communicator. He listened well, went the extra mile to understand my needs and worked towards the best outcome as quickly as possible. Andrew contacted TV Plus in Melbourne, Australia and with his technical knowledge efficiently set up the new decoder and restored the TV channels to my father’s delight.

I am a highly satisfied and grateful customer and would have no hesitation in recommending the AV team at Aotea as top of their field in both technical expertise and customer service.”

Zak C

Caversham Satellite Television System

“It was a pleasure to work with Kevin and Andrew (formerly with Vision, now with Aotea Electric) through the design and installation of the audio system for our new home.

At all times they were reliable, honest, and very knowledgeable about their products.  Their communication was first-rate, and they responded quickly to help us through early teething issues with our system.

We would whole-heartedly recommend Kevin and Andrew to anyone else looking at renewing or upgrading their home entertainment system.”
