Common electrical problems in Mooikloof
Typical electrical jobs in Mooikloof:
Boreholes and pumps
Pumps that trip the board or won’t start. We test the pump circuit, its control gear and the cable to find the fault.
Long cable runs
Gates, cottages, stables and outbuildings far from the house. We trace damaged cables and repair or replace the faulty section.
Backup power
Inverter, battery and solar systems sized for bigger homes and connected safely to the DB board.
Mooikloof homes and their electrics
Mooikloof, which means beautiful ravine, lies about 20 km south-east of the city centre along Garsfontein Road. Alongside its smallholdings and farmsteads on hectare-sized plots are several estates: Mooikloof Equestrian Estate, where 1 ha stands cannot be subdivided and a 20 km horse trail runs through the estate; Mooikloof Glen and Mooikloof Heights, with stands of 8,500 m² and more; and the smaller lock-up-and-go homes of Mooikloof Ridge.
Properties this size bring their own electrical work. Boreholes, pool pumps, gate motors, stables and cottages are often far from the main DB board, so a damaged underground cable or a wet joint can trip the earth leakage for the whole property. If you add solar panels or batteries, they have to be connected to the right circuits at the board.
Outages here are not only load shedding: in April 2024 a fire at the Mooikloof substation cut power to Mooikloof, Mooikloof Ridge and Olympus. We install backup power, test and repair long cable runs, and wire pumps on their own protected circuits. See pool and borehole pumps, solar and inverter installation and gate motors and security lighting.
