FAQs
Fault Finding & Fixing: common questions
Why does my earth leakage keep tripping?
The most common causes are a faulty geyser element, moisture in an outside plug or light, a damaged appliance, or a nicked cable. Testing each circuit in turn identifies which one is leaking to earth.
Do you do emergency call-outs?
Yes — we take emergency electrical call-outs across Gauteng, including after hours and on weekends.
How quickly can you come out?
In and around Centurion, Pretoria and Midrand we can usually be on site the same day. Elsewhere in Gauteng, typically within 24 hours.
