Electrical Guides
Electrical guides for Pretoria homeowners: tripping DB boards, earth leakage, geysers, surges and solar backup, explained by Electrician Worx.
Each guide answers a common question from homeowners in Pretoria and Centurion in plain language: why a DB board or earth leakage keeps tripping, why a geyser stops heating, what to check when the power fails in only part of the house, and how to protect your appliances from lightning and power surges.
We explain what you can safely check yourself and when it is time to call a qualified electrician. If you notice a burning smell at the DB board, a breaker that feels hot, or sparks at a plug point, switch off at the main switch if it is safe to do so and have the installation checked.
Electrical work on a home should always be done by a qualified electrician, to SANS 10142, the South African wiring code. The guides help you understand what is going on, but they do not replace proper testing.
