Not working?
Plug or light stopped working?
A plug or light that suddenly stops working usually has a loose or burnt connection, a failed switch or fitting, or a tripped breaker. Check your DB board first. If nothing has tripped, don’t open the plug or light yourself: a burnt connection needs to be repaired properly, not just reconnected.
- Plugs or switches that feel warm, buzz or spark
- Lights that flicker, dim or work only sometimes
- A plug point with scorch marks or a loose fit
- Several plugs or lights dead at the same time
Older homes
Rewiring older homes
Many established Pretoria homes still have their original wiring, extended bit by bit over the years. Warm plugs and switches, flickering lights, breakers that trip under normal use and cloth-insulated or perished cables are signs that it may need replacing.
We test the installation first and tell you which circuits need rewiring and which are fine, so we only replace what actually needs replacing. Planning a renovation? Bring us in early, so new plugs, lights and circuits go in before the walls are finished.

Plugs, lights and wiring FAQs
Can’t see your question? Call 012 383 2011 and ask the electrician directly.
Can you add extra plug points?
Yes. We install extra plug points, outside and garden lights, and dedicated circuits for appliances like air conditioners and pool pumps.
Can you install outdoor plugs near the pool?
Yes. Outdoor plugs go on an earth leakage protected circuit, with weatherproof fittings suited to where they are installed.
Why does my light switch spark or feel warm?
Usually a loose connection or a worn switch. Stop using it and have it checked, because it can overheat.
How do I know if my house needs rewiring?
Warm plugs or switches, flickering lights, frequent tripping and old cloth-insulated cable are common signs. We test first and only recommend rewiring where it is needed.
