Jobs we handle

Electrical jobs we handle across South Africa

Every fault and installation calls for a different approach. Here are the 15 jobs we're called out for most often across South Africa, from emergencies that can't wait to planned upgrades, each marked with how urgently it needs an electrician.

  • Priority

    Tripping earth leakage

    An earth leakage that keeps tripping is warning you about current escaping to earth. We find the faulty circuit or appliance instead of just resetting it.

  • Emergency

    No power or a dead circuit

    When part of the house goes dark and the municipality isn't to blame, we trace the fault from the meter to the last plug.

  • Emergency

    Burning smell or hot plugs

    Scorch marks, buzzing or a hot plug or switch point to a loose or overloaded connection. Switch off at the board and call us.

  • Planned

    COC for a property sale

    A Certificate of Compliance is required before transfer. We inspect, quote for any faults and issue the certificate once it passes.

  • Planned

    DB board replacement

    Old boards without earth leakage protection or with failing breakers are replaced and labelled to current standards.

  • Planned

    Rewiring older homes

    Perished rubber cable and missing earths in older homes are a fire and shock risk. We rewire room by room.

  • Planned

    Plugs, switches and isolators

    Extra plugs, double plugs, USB points and isolators installed where you need them, neatly and to code.

  • Planned

    Lighting installations

    Downlights, LED conversions, garden and security lighting designed, installed and certified.

  • Priority

    Geyser element and thermostat

    No hot water or a geyser tripping the board usually means a failed element or thermostat. We test, replace and fit timers.

  • Planned

    Inverter and battery installs

    Backup power sized to what you need to keep running, wired onto essential circuits and certified.

  • Planned

    Solar PV systems

    Grid-tied and hybrid solar designed around your usage, with help registering the system with your municipality.

  • Planned

    Surge and lightning protection

    Surge arrestors at the board protect appliances, electronics and gate motors from storms and load shedding surges.

  • Priority

    Gate motor and electric fence power

    Dedicated supplies, surge protection and electrical repairs for gate motors and electric fence energisers.

  • Planned

    EV charger installation

    Home and workplace EV chargers on a dedicated circuit, with the board checked for the extra load first.

  • Planned

    Stove, oven and hob connections

    New stoves, ovens and hobs connected on the correct circuit and isolator, ready for your kitchen fitter.
