Frequently asked questions

Do I need an electrical Certificate of Compliance to sell my house?

Yes. South African law requires a valid electrical CoC when a property changes hands, and for transfer purposes it must be no older than two years and cover any work done since it was issued.

What is a wireman's licence?

It is the everyday name for registration with the Department of Employment and Labour as an Installation Electrician or Master Installation Electrician. Only a registered person may issue a Certificate of Compliance, so ask for the registration number.

Why does my earth leakage keep tripping?

Usually a faulty appliance, moisture in an outdoor socket or light, or a damaged cable. Unplug appliances one at a time to narrow it down; if it still trips with everything unplugged, the wiring needs a registered electrician.

How much does an electrical CoC cost?

The inspection carries a set fee, and any remedial work needed to pass is quoted separately before it is done. Older houses often need some remedial work; newer ones often pass first time.

What is the best backup power for load shedding?

For most homes an inverter with a lithium battery, sized to run lights, Wi-Fi, TV and a fridge for a stage of load shedding, gives silent, automatic backup. A generator suits high loads or long outages but needs fuel, noise tolerance and a proper changeover switch.

Do I need a Certificate of Compliance for solar?

Yes. A solar or inverter installation is an electrical installation and must be certified by a registered electrician, and in most municipalities it must also be registered as small-scale embedded generation (SSEG) before it is switched on.
