Sinoville homes and their electrics
Sinoville sits on the northern slopes of the Magaliesberg, about 8 km north-east of the city centre, on both sides of Sefako Makgatho Drive and just south of Wonderboom Airport. The area was a farm owned by the Sinovich family in the 1890s and became part of the Pretoria municipality in 1965, so many of its freestanding homes have stood for decades, with newer townhouse complexes and flats built in between.
Older homes were not wired for today’s load of kettles, air conditioners, pool pumps and backup power. Signs that it is time for a check include breakers that trip when several appliances run together, a board with no earth leakage unit, screw-in fuses, or plug points that feel warm. We test circuit by circuit and replace only what is worn or unsafe.
In townhouse complexes part of the supply belongs to the body corporate, so we check your unit’s own board first and tell you if the fault is on the complex side. For older freestanding homes, see rewiring older homes and DB board upgrades.
