What's Included

Our Electrical Installations & COC solutions

Certificate of Compliance (COC)

Full electrical inspections and COC issuing for property sales, rentals and bond requirements. We fix faults found during inspection.

Residential Electrical Work

New wiring, renovations, lighting, geyser installations, DB board upgrades and fault finding done properly the first time.

Commercial & Industrial Electrical

Three-phase installations, distribution boards, machinery connections and maintenance contracts for businesses.

Fault Finding & Repairs

Tripping breakers, dim lights, burning smells, dead plugs — we diagnose and repair electrical faults fast.

DB Board & Surge Protection

Upgrades, new DBs and surge protection devices to protect your appliances and electronics from spikes.

Emergency Callouts

Power failures and electrical emergencies handled quickly by qualified, experienced technicians.

Property Sales & Transfer Support

Selling a home in South Africa means your conveyancer won't lodge the transfer without a valid electrical COC. We do the pre-sale inspection, give you a plain-language snag list of anything that fails, fix it, and issue the certificate so your transfer doesn't stall at the last minute. Sellers who sort this out before listing never get caught in the three-week scramble.

Electric Fence & Security Wiring

As an electrical and security company, we install and certify electric fences, gate motors and security lighting as one job. Fence installations need their own COC under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, and we make sure the energiser, earthing and warning signs all meet the rules.

Generator & Changeover Installations

With power interruptions still part of life, more homes and businesses are adding generators. We install manual and automatic changeover switches, wire the generator properly into your DB board, and make sure interlocking prevents backfeeding into the grid, which is dangerous and illegal. Done right, a generator switches over without drama and keeps your business running.

FAQ

Electrical Installations & COC — common questions

How much does a COC cost?+

A COC inspection is a fixed fee depending on the size of the property. If the inspection finds faults, we quote separately to fix them and re-issue. Ask us for a rate for your property type.

Why do I need a COC?+

A valid Certificate of Compliance is legally required in South Africa when a property is sold, transferred or leased. It confirms the electrical installation meets safety standards.

Do you do after-hours emergency work?+

Yes. For power failures and urgent electrical faults we offer emergency callouts to homes and businesses in our service areas.

Are your electricians qualified?+

Yes. Our team is qualified and experienced, and all work is done to SANS 10142 standards with proper certification.

How long is a COC valid?+

A COC doesn't carry an expiry date, but it's only as good as the installation it covers. The moment anything is altered after the certificate is issued, it's no longer valid and you need a fresh inspection. In practice, most conveyancers want a certificate issued within the last two years or so, so if your property has had work done since the last COC, get it re-checked.

I'm buying a house. Who is responsible for the COC?+

The seller must provide a valid COC before transfer can register at the Deeds Office, even if the sale is voetstoots. As the buyer, it's still worth checking the certificate exists and covers the property as it stands now, because a COC from before a renovation doesn't count. Ask your conveyancer to confirm before you sign.

Do landlords need a COC for tenants?+

Yes. The regulations require a certificate of compliance when a property is let, not just when it's sold. We regularly do rental inspections for landlords across Mthatha, East London, Butterworth and King William's Town, and we fix any faults before the tenant moves in.
