Why Professional Electrical Repairs Matter

Electricity is the heartbeat of your home or business — and when something goes wrong, it’s not just inconvenient; it can be dangerous.

Faulty wiring, overloaded circuits, or malfunctioning electrical systems can cause fires, equipment damage, and even electric shocks. That’s why electrical repairs should always be performed by licensed professionals.

At Electricians Near Me, we don’t just fix the symptoms — we find and resolve the root cause of electrical problems, ensuring your system is safe, stable, and efficient. Our repairs comply fully with SANS 10142-1 and the Occupational Health and Safety Act, guaranteeing long-term reliability and peace of mind.

Our Comprehensive Electrical Repair Services

We handle every type of electrical fault, from small household issues to large-scale commercial breakdowns.

Below is a detailed overview of the electrical repair services we offer throughout South Africa.

1. Power Failure and Tripping Fault Repairs

If your power suddenly goes off, or your distribution board keeps tripping, there’s usually an underlying fault such as a damaged wire, overloaded circuit, or faulty breaker.

Our electricians quickly identify and fix:

• Tripped circuit breakers or fuses

• Earth leakage faults

• Overloaded circuits

• Short circuits

• Neutral or earth faults

We use advanced diagnostic tools to locate the exact cause of the problem, ensuring a safe and lasting repair.

2. Faulty Wiring and Rewiring Repairs

Old or damaged wiring is one of the most common causes of electrical fires and outages in South African homes and businesses.

We repair and replace:

• Burnt, loose, or corroded wiring

• Faulty junction boxes

• Outdated aluminum cabling

• Incorrect or unsafe wiring connections

If your property has old wiring (especially pre-1990s) or frequently experiences electrical surges, we recommend a full inspection to assess whether rewiring is needed for safety compliance.

3. Plug, Switch, and Socket Repairs

Loose or sparking plugs, non-functioning switches, and damaged sockets are not just inconvenient — they’re potential fire hazards.

We provide quick and safe repairs for:

• Loose connections

• Melted or burnt sockets

• Faulty light switches

• Broken plug points

• Damaged extension wiring

All repairs are done with SABS-approved components to ensure long-lasting performance.

4. Lighting Repairs and Upgrades

From flickering bulbs to complete lighting system failures, our electricians handle all types of lighting repairs for homes, offices, and industrial environments.

We repair and replace:

• Flickering or dim lights

• Faulty light fittings and transformers

• Damaged ballasts

• Outdoor and security lighting faults

• LED and smart lighting systems

We can also help you upgrade to energy-efficient LED lighting, reducing your electricity bill while improving illumination.

5. Distribution Board and Circuit Repairs

The distribution board (DB box) is the heart of your electrical system. If it’s faulty, your entire property is at risk of power loss or electrical fires.

We repair and service:

• Circuit breakers

• Earth leakage units

• Isolators and contactors

• Fuse boards and load centers

We also provide distribution board upgrades to handle higher loads safely — ideal for renovations, new equipment, or solar integration.

6. Electrical Appliance and Equipment Repairs

Our electricians can inspect, repair, and connect household and commercial appliances safely and efficiently.

We handle:

• Geysers, stoves, and ovens

• Pool pumps and borehole systems

• Gate motors and security systems

• Air conditioning units

• Office and shop equipment

We ensure that all appliances are correctly wired, fused, and grounded, reducing the risk of future damage.

7. Emergency Electrical Repairs (24/7)

Electrical problems can happen anytime — day or night. That’s why Electricians Near Me offers 24-hour emergency repair services across South Africa.

Our teams arrive equipped to diagnose and repair most issues on the spot — restoring your power safely and quickly.

8. Fault Finding and Diagnostics

Some electrical faults aren’t obvious. Intermittent tripping or power fluctuations often signal hidden issues in your system.

Our experts use advanced fault-finding equipment to detect problems such as:

• Cable faults and insulation breakdowns

• Overheating conductors

• Load imbalance

• Poor earthing or grounding

• Hidden water damage

This precise approach prevents unnecessary replacements and ensures that repairs are accurate, efficient, and cost-effective.

Step 2 – Quotation and Explanation

Once we’ve identified the issue, we provide a clear, upfront quote — with no hidden costs. Our electrician will explain the problem and the repair solution.
