Electrical Services We Offer

Electrical Fault Finding

A tripping earth leakage or a dead circuit is your electrical system telling you something is wrong. We trace faults methodically, circuit by circuit, find the actual cause, and repair it safely, instead of just resetting the breaker and hoping.

DB Board Upgrades & Rewiring

Older Bloemfontein homes often run on distribution boards designed decades before today's appliance loads, some without earth leakage protection at all. We upgrade DB boards and rewire where needed, bringing your home's electrical heart up to modern safety standards.

Certificate of Compliance (COC)

An Electrical Certificate of Compliance is a legal requirement when selling a property in South Africa and is needed for any new electrical installation. Our registered electricians inspect the installation, rectify any non-compliant items, and issue the COC once everything passes.

Security & Outdoor Lighting

Good outdoor lighting is one of the most cost-effective security improvements for a Bloemfontein property. We install floodlights, motion-triggered lights, driveway and pathway lighting, and perimeter lighting systems, all correctly wired to your DB board with proper weatherproof fittings.

Prepaid Electricity Meter Installation

Prepaid meters give landlords control over electricity costs in rental properties and eliminate disputes over municipal utility accounts. We install sub-meters for individual units in multi-tenant properties, correctly metered and wired to a tamper-evident standard.

Solar Geyser Electrical Wiring

A solar geyser's electrical element backup needs to be correctly wired to a dedicated DB board circuit with proper earth leakage protection. We install the electrical backup circuit for new solar geysers, connect existing solar units that were incorrectly wired, and issue a COC for the installation.

Yes, electrical faults are dangerous and we treat them as priority call-outs, 24/7.
