Common electrical problems in Mountain View
What we are called out for most in Mountain View:
Older installations
Many Mountain View homes are older. We test the wiring and replace worn circuits and old boards.
Geyser faults
We repair geyser elements and thermostats and make the geyser circuit safe.
Plug points and lights
We add plugs and lights where you need them and convert fittings to LED.
Mountain View homes and their electrics
Mountain View lies on the western side of the Moot, next to Suiderberg, Parktown Estate and Daspoort Estate, with some homes backing onto the lower slopes of the Magaliesberg. Like most of the Moot it is an established, jacaranda-lined area of family houses, and in homes of this age it pays to know what condition the wiring and DB board are in.
Typical signs of an ageing installation are screw-in fuses or a board without an earth leakage unit, switches and plug points that feel warm, flickering lights, and breakers that trip for no clear reason. Rooms, extensions and outbuildings added over the years are often connected to the original circuits, which can overload them.
We test the installation, explain what we find in plain language, and fix the faulty or unsafe parts. Pretoria’s summer thunderstorms can also send surges down the supply, so it is worth adding surge protection at the board. If the wiring itself is worn out, see rewiring older homes.
