Power Failure Repairs

Every power failure repairs job we take on is handled by a qualified technician working to SANS standards, backed by a written workmanship guarantee. That matters more than it sounds: a large share of the callouts we attend are re-work on installations done cheaply by someone who is no longer answering their phone.

If your property is dark but the street is not, the problem is on your side of the meter: a failed main switch, a tripped earth leakage that will not reset, a burnt neutral, a damaged service cable or a failed prepaid meter connection.

We respond quickly across Gauteng, restore supply safely, and repair the underlying cause rather than simply resetting a device that will trip again.

Why power failure repairs matters

Power Failure Repairs done badly is expensive twice — once when you pay for it and again when you pay someone else to fix it. Insurers also routinely decline claims where work was not carried out by a registered contractor, which is why every job we complete is documented and, where applicable, certified.

What’s included

• Emergency and after-hours response
• Main switch, neutral and service cable faults
• Prepaid meter connection issues
• Safe temporary supply where needed
• Permanent repair, not just a reset

Warning signs we look for on power failure repairs

• Warm, discoloured or buzzing switches, sockets or DB board
• Sockets that only work intermittently or feel loose
• Breakers tripping repeatedly or without an obvious cause
• A burning smell near the board, a plug point or a light fitting
• Extension leads permanently in use because there are too few points
• Lights dimming or flickering when large appliances start

How we handle power failure repairs

1. Free assessment and written quote

We attend site, inspect what is actually there, and quote power failure repairs in writing with the parts, labour and any compliance work itemised. No deposit is required to get a price.

2. Scheduling that suits you

Once you approve the quote we book a slot — including after-hours and weekend work where a business cannot afford downtime — and confirm the arrival window by phone or WhatsApp the day before.

3. The work itself

A qualified technician carries out the power failure repairs to SANS standards using correctly rated materials. Drop sheets go down, the area is protected, and anything unexpected is raised with you before extra cost is incurred.

4. Testing, handover and paperwork

We test the completed work under load, walk you through what was done, and issue your invoice, warranty details and — where the job requires it — a Certificate of Compliance.

What affects the price of power failure repairs

Anyone quoting power failure repairs sight-unseen is guessing. These are the factors that genuinely move the number on our quotations:

• Cable length, routing and whether chasing into walls is required
• Single-phase versus three-phase supply and the rating of the circuit
• Condition of the existing DB board and whether an upgrade is needed
• Quality and rating of the protective devices and fittings specified
• Whether a Certificate of Compliance forms part of the scope
• Access, working at height, and whether the site must stay live

Our guarantee

Our guarantee is written on the invoice, not implied verbally, so you always have something to hold us to.
