If you have no power, a burning smell, sparking or visible damage to your board in Fourways, switch off at the main and call. A registered electrician is safer, faster and cheaper than finding out the hard way what a damaged circuit can do.
Fourways is defined by one of Johannesburg’s fastest-growing northern nodes — large security estates, high-density cluster complexes and major retail developments built largely in the last three decades, and the electrical work follows from that.
Because Fourways is supplied by City Power and Eskom (supply area varies by street) and falls within City of Johannesburg, there is a clear line between the network's responsibility and yours. It stops at the point of supply. We will tell you honestly which side of that line your fault sits on before you spend money on a private electrician for a network problem.
Emergency Electrician services we provide in Fourways

Tracing the loss back through the main switch, earth leakage, supply and metering to find where it actually stopped.

Locating the overheating connection or failing component before it becomes a fire.
Tripping that will not reset
Isolating the faulty circuit so the rest of the property can be safely returned to service tonight.

Assessing surge damage, restoring supply and documenting what failed for your insurance claim.
Water ingress
Making safe boards, points and circuits affected by leaks, burst geysers or flooding.
Sparking & exposed conductors

What we see in Fourways
Business premises and trading hours
With the amount of commercial activity in Fourways, a lot of our work here has to happen around someone's trading day. We schedule shutdowns outside business hours where we can, isolate only what we must, and keep the parts of the installation that pay the bills running while we work.
Where the unit ends and the scheme begins
In sectional-title developments around Fourways, the most expensive arguments are about which side of the meter a fault sits on. Before we quote we establish whether the problem is inside the unit, in common property, or in the supply to the scheme — because that determines who pays, and a homeowner should not fund a body corporate's repair by accident.

Emergency Electrician in Fourways — your questions answered
What should I do before you arrive?
If it is safe to reach, switch off the main switch at the DB board. Do not touch anything that is wet, hot or sparking, keep people and pets away from the area, and do not keep resetting a breaker that trips — it is tripping for a reason.
What counts as an electrical emergency?
Anything with a fire or shock risk: burning smells, smoke, sparking, exposed conductors, water on electrical equipment, or someone receiving a shock. Total power loss also counts, particularly where there is medical equipment, a business or security at stake.
How fast can you get to Fourways?
We prioritise emergencies and work Fourways routinely. Call 084 412 1814 and we will give you a genuine arrival time rather than an optimistic one.
What do after-hours callouts cost?
After-hours rates are higher than standard rates and we tell you what they are on the phone, before we are dispatched. There are no surprises added afterwards.
Can you make it safe tonight and repair it properly later?
Yes, and that is often the sensible approach. We isolate the fault so the property is safe and the rest of the power is usable, then return with parts to do the permanent repair in daylight.
What payment methods do you accept?
EFT and card. You receive a written quote before work starts and a tax invoice on completion, along with any compliance documentation the job requires.
