The reality in the Overberg

Three problems we solve every week.

From load shedding to property transfers, these are the situations homeowners call us about — and what we put right.

01 / OUTAGES

Power keeps cutting out

Load shedding and grid interruptions leave homes dark. We design backup power so your lights, fridge and essentials keep running.

02 / COMPLIANCE

Selling, but no valid COC

Property transfers stall without a Certificate of Compliance. We inspect, fix what's needed, and issue a valid COC so the sale goes through.

03 / NEW BUILDS

Building and need a reliable sparky

You need compliant, high-quality wiring delivered on schedule — and an electrician who works well with your other trades.

Common questions

Good to know.

Can you issue a Certificate of Compliance (COC)?
Yes. We inspect and test the installation, then quote for any remedial work needed to bring it into compliance. Once everything is addressed, we issue a valid COC.
Do you service my area?
Yes. We service Struisbaai, L'Agulhas, Bredasdorp, Suiderstrand, Napier, Arniston, Swellendam and the wider Overberg region.
How much does a solar system cost?
It depends on your property's requirements, energy usage, backup needs and equipment choice. We assess your needs and provide a detailed quote based on the most suitable solution.
How long will a battery keep my home running during an outage?
It depends on battery capacity and the load being supplied. We assess your requirements and recommend a system that meets your backup power needs.
Can you help with electrical work for a new house build?
Yes. We provide electrical installations for new residential construction — from planning and infrastructure through to testing, compliance and final certification.
Do I need solar panels, batteries, or both?
A backup system is usually an inverter and battery. Solar panels can be added to recharge the batteries and reduce grid reliance. The best mix depends on your usage, budget and goals.
How long does an installation take?
It depends on the size and configuration. Smaller systems can often go in within a few hours; larger or more complex installations may take several days.
