Soshanguve keeps us busy. Between tripping earth leakage units, failed DB boards and the wiring faults that come with the large northern townships of Tshwane — dense residential housing, university campuses and a fast-growing small-business sector, we are in this part of Pretoria and Centurion most weeks. Every job is done to SANS 10142-1 and signed off by a registered person.
Soshanguve is defined by the large northern townships of Tshwane — dense residential housing, university campuses and a fast-growing small-business sector, and the electrical work follows from that.
Electricity in Soshanguve is distributed by Eskom and City of Tshwane Electricity. Your responsibility as the owner starts at the point of supply and covers everything inside it — the board, the circuits, the earthing and the fittings. That is the part we look after, and the part a Certificate of Compliance speaks to.
Electrician services we provide in Soshanguve
Fault finding & fault repairs
Tripping breakers, earth leakage that will not reset, dead circuits, burning smells and partial power loss — traced properly with test instruments, not guesswork.
DB board upgrades & replacements
Replacing overloaded, obsolete or unsafe distribution boards, adding earth leakage protection and correctly labelling every circuit.
Certificates of Compliance (COC)
Full installation inspection, testing and a valid COC issued by a registered person — including the repairs needed to get you there.
Plug points, lights & switches
New points, extra circuits, LED conversions, dimmers, outdoor and security lighting, and replacing damaged fittings.
Stove, geyser & appliance connections
Dedicated circuits and isolators for stoves, ovens, geysers, pool pumps, boreholes and heat pumps.
Earth leakage & surge protection
Testing and replacing earth leakage units, adding surge protection at the board to protect electronics against spikes.
Rewiring & new installations
Partial or full rewires for older properties, and complete first-fix and second-fix installations for new builds and renovations.
Emergency callouts, day or night
No power, exposed conductors, burning smells or water on the board — we prioritise anything that is a safety risk.
What we see in Soshanguve
Downtime is the real cost
On the industrial sites we work on in Soshanguve, the repair is almost never the expensive part — the stopped line is. That shapes how we work: likely spares on the vehicle, diagnosis before disassembly, and a clear call on whether to get you running now and do the permanent fix in a planned window.
Extended homes and added circuits
Homes in Soshanguve have typically grown over time — rooms added, outbuildings converted, backrooms let out. Each addition tends to be spurred off whatever circuit was closest, so the original board ends up carrying loads it was never designed for. The repair is usually less about the last thing that failed and more about redistributing the installation sensibly.
Compliance that someone will eventually ask for
Landlords, insurers and lease renewals in Soshanguve all eventually ask the same question: where is the current Certificate of Compliance, and does it cover the work the tenant did? Getting that documented while the premises are trading normally is considerably cheaper than assembling it under pressure after an incident.

Electrician in Soshanguve — your questions answered
How quickly can you get an electrician to Soshanguve?
We cover Soshanguve as part of our Pretoria and Centurion area, so we can normally be with you the same day for standard work and within hours for genuine emergencies. Call 084 412 1814 and we will give you a realistic arrival window rather than a vague promise.
Are you registered to work in Soshanguve?
Yes. All electrical work is carried out under a registered person in terms of the Electrical Installation Regulations, and all installations are done to SANS 10142-1 — the wiring code of practice for South Africa. That is what allows us to issue a valid Certificate of Compliance.
What does a callout to Soshanguve cost?
We quote before we start. For fault finding there is a callout and diagnostic fee, and once we know what is wrong you get a price for the repair — you decide whether to go ahead. No work happens on an "we will see what it comes to" basis.
Do you work after hours and on weekends in Soshanguve?
Yes. We run a 24-hour emergency line for situations that cannot wait — no power to the property, burning smells, sparking, exposed conductors or water damage to an electrical installation. After-hours rates apply and we tell you what they are when you call.
Will I get a Certificate of Compliance?
For any work that requires one, yes. A COC can only be issued by a registered person after the installation has been inspected and tested. If your installation needs repairs before it can be certified, we quote those separately so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
Do you supply the materials?
We carry common parts — breakers, earth leakage units, points, fittings and cable — on the vehicle so most jobs are finished in one visit. Specialised items are quoted and ordered, and you are welcome to supply your own materials if you prefer, though we can then only guarantee our workmanship.
