Rewiring & DB Boards

- Safer wiring that meets modern SANS 10142 standards
- Added capacity for today's appliances and circuits
- Proper earth-leakage protection and clear labelling

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Search or browse common questions about this service.
How do I know if my house needs rewiring?
Warning signs include frequent tripping, flickering lights, scorched or warm sockets, old cloth/rubber-insulated wiring, and a fuse-style or overloaded board. We can inspect and advise.
What is a DB board and why upgrade it?
The distribution board (DB board) is where your circuits and breakers live. Upgrading adds modern breakers, earth-leakage protection and capacity — making your installation safer and more reliable.
Do I have to rewire the whole house at once?
Not always. We offer partial rewiring to target problem areas or older sections, and can plan a full rewire in stages if that suits you better.
Will rewiring make a lot of mess?
We work as cleanly and tidily as possible and plan the route to minimise disruption. We leave your home neat and explain everything we've done.
How long does a rewire take?
It depends on the size of the property and scope of work. We'll give you a realistic timeframe with your quote — small jobs can be quick, full rewires take longer.
Will I get a COC after the work?
Yes. We can test and issue a Certificate of Compliance for the new wiring or board, confirming it's safe and compliant.
Can you add earth-leakage protection to my board?
Yes — correctly installed earth-leakage protection is essential for safety and is a standard part of our DB board upgrades.
My board keeps tripping — do I need a new one?
Not always; it may be a faulty circuit or appliance. We diagnose first and only recommend a board upgrade if it's genuinely needed.
Can you add new circuits for appliances or backup power?
Yes. We install dedicated circuits for aircon, geysers, outbuildings and backup power systems.
How much does rewiring or a board upgrade cost?
It varies with the size and scope of the job. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote before any work begins.
Is old wiring really a fire risk?
Yes — brittle, perished or undersized wiring can overheat and cause fires. Replacing it is one of the best safety investments you can make.
Do you label the new board?
Always. Clear labelling makes it easy to identify circuits and is part of a tidy, compliant installation.
What areas do you cover?
We serve the entire East Rand of Gauteng.
Do you offer free quotes?
Yes. All quotes are free and come with no obligation — just tell us what you need and we'll give you an honest price.
Are your electricians qualified and registered?
Yes. Our work is carried out and signed off by registered, wireman-licensed electricians who follow South African wiring regulations (SANS 10142).
Do you offer 24/7 emergency call-outs?
Yes — we provide 24/7 emergency electrician services across the East Rand for urgent faults such as power failures, tripping, sparking and burning smells.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. We stand behind our workmanship and use quality materials. If something isn't right with work we've done, we'll put it right.
How soon can you come out?
For emergencies we respond as fast as possible, day or night. For standard jobs we'll arrange a convenient time, often the same or next day.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept common payment methods including EFT, and we'll confirm everything with your quote before any work begins.
