Hiring a electrician in South Africa
Tips to help you find the right professional
Verify registration with the DoEL
All electricians in South Africa must be registered with the Department of Employment and Labour. Only registered electricians can issue a Certificate of Compliance (CoC).
Ask for a CoC after any work
An Electrical Certificate of Compliance is legally required for new installations, alterations, and property transfers. Always request one.
Get multiple quotes for solar
Solar installation prices vary significantly. Get at least three quotes and confirm the installer is registered for solar work specifically.
Check load shedding preparedness
Ask about inverter and battery backup options. A good electrician can advise on the right capacity for your home based on your essential circuits.
