Common electrical problems in Irene
What we are called out for most in Irene:
Long cable runs on bigger properties
Irene has larger properties and smallholdings where cables run far to cottages, pumps and outbuildings. Undersized cable causes voltage drop and tripping. We size and install cables correctly for the distance.
Borehole and pool pumps
We wire borehole and pool pumps with the correct isolator and protection and find faults when they trip or will not start.
Backup power and solar
We install inverter and battery systems so the essentials keep running during load shedding.
Irene homes and their electrics
Irene is a historic village on Centurion’s eastern edge, next to the R21 and the N1. It began as part of the farm Doornkloof: in 1889 Nellmapius bought most of the farm and named it after his daughter Irene, and the village was proclaimed a township in 1902. Smuts House Museum and the Irene Dairy Farm are both here.
The old village has about a thousand homes on stands of roughly 1,500 to 4,000 m², from vintage houses to modern ones, and newer estates such as Irene Farm Villages, Irene Glen, Irene Woods and Cornwall Hill have grown up around it. On big stands, garden lights, gate motors, pool pumps and cottages often hang off long underground cables, and a damaged cable or a wet joint shows up as an earth leakage that trips after rain.
Older houses may still have their original wiring and DB boards. We test circuit by circuit, repair or replace only what is faulty, and add protection where it is missing. See pool and borehole pumps, gate motors and security lighting and rewiring older homes.
