Gauteng-wide
Residential Electrician in Gauteng
Home electrical work done safely and signed off properly — across Johannesburg, Pretoria, Centurion, the East Rand, the West Rand and the Vaal.
Most of the homes we work on in Gauteng were not wired for the way we live now. Add a pool pump, a heat pump, a home office and a backup system to an installation designed decades ago and something has to give — usually the DB board.
Houses in Gauteng are characterised by a province of very different neighbourhoods, from 1940s suburbs to brand-new estates, and that shapes the electrical work they need. We deal with the whole range here: quick repairs, full rewires, and the compliance work that comes up when a property is sold or let.
Gauteng is not one market. A board change in a 1950s Kensington house, a tenant fit-out in Sandton and a motor fault in a Wadeville factory are three different jobs needing three different approaches. That is why we organise by area — so the person who arrives already knows what the properties around you are like.
What our residential electrician service covers
Home fault finding
Tracing tripping circuits, dead points, flickering lights and intermittent faults with proper test instruments.
DB board replacement
Swapping out old fuse boards and overloaded DBs for a correctly sized, properly labelled board with earth leakage protection.
Full & partial rewiring
Replacing perished, undersized or unsafe wiring — room by room or the whole house, with as little disruption as possible.
Geyser & stove circuits
Dedicated circuits, isolators and correct cable sizing for geysers, heat pumps, hobs, ovens and pool equipment.
Lighting & plug points
Extra points where you actually need them, LED conversions, outdoor and security lighting, garden and pathway lighting.
Sale & rental COCs
Inspection, testing, remedial work and a valid Certificate of Compliance for transfer or for your lease file.
Cottage & backroom supplies
Sub-boards, separate metering and correctly protected supplies to cottages, flatlets and outbuildings.
Earth leakage & surge protection
Protecting people from shock and your electronics from surges — tested and certified, not just installed.

Common questions about residential electrician
How much does it cost to rewire a house in Gauteng?
It depends on size, wall construction, ceiling access and how much of the existing installation can be reused. We look at the property, then give you a written, itemised quote — and where a full rewire is not necessary we will say so and quote the partial work instead.
I am selling my house in Gauteng. What do I actually need?
A valid electrical Certificate of Compliance. Under the Electrical Installation Regulations the certificate is valid for the life of the installation while nothing is altered, but for a property transfer it may not be older than two years — so most sellers need a fresh inspection.
Can you work while we are living in the house?
Yes. We plan rewires and board changes around your household, isolate one section at a time where possible, and tell you up front which circuits will be off and for how long.
Do I need to be home for the work?
For quoting and for handover, it helps. For the work itself we can arrange access with a family member, tenant, estate agent or complex manager — whatever suits you.
My earth leakage keeps tripping. Is that dangerous?
It means the unit is doing its job — it has detected current leaking to earth. A recurring trip points to a real fault, often damp in an outside circuit, a failing geyser element or perished wiring. It should be traced rather than reset repeatedly.
