Garsfontein, Pretoria East

Electrician in Garsfontein

Electrical repairs, fault finding, DB boards, COCs and backup power in Garsfontein. Homes and businesses, and the phone is answered 24 hours a day.

Garsfontein is a big suburb with a lot of established freestanding homes, and many of them have grown over the years. A garage turned into a flatlet, a cottage built at the back, a lapa with lights and plugs added later.

Every one of those additions is fed from a DB board that was originally sized for the main house. That is where a lot of the electrical work in Garsfontein comes from: boards that are full, circuits carrying more than they should, and earth leakage units that trip because too much is hanging off them.

Local note

When the cottage runs off the main board

If a flatlet or cottage was wired straight off the main house's board, a fault out there can switch off the whole property. A dedicated sub board for the second dwelling gives it its own breakers and earth leakage, so a problem at the back stays at the back. We look at the cable feeding it too, because it is often thinner than it should be for what the cottage now runs.
