Electricians Who Work Across Cape Town
Cape Town is really many cities in one. There is the office and retail world of the CBD, the apartment blocks along the Atlantic Seaboard, the leafy homes of the Southern Suburbs, and the warehouses and factories out in Epping and Montague Gardens. Each one needs a different kind of electrical work.
A lot of our city work is commercial, where downtime is expensive and the wiring has to be right the first time. We are comfortable with three-phase supply, generators and the coordination that comes with working in an occupied office block or a managed building.
The older inner-city buildings carry their own challenges, with original wiring that was never built for modern demand, and the surges from load shedding wear out boards everywhere. Fitting surge protection at the DB board is one of the simplest ways to protect expensive equipment.
Electrical Work Across Cape Town
From an office fit-out to an apartment block or a warehouse, here is the electrical work we handle across the city:
Commercial & Office Installations
Office fit-outs, retail premises and industrial units, wired and certified for the load a working business puts on its supply.
Learn MoreDB Board Upgrades & Repairs
Inner-city buildings and older homes often outgrow their boards. We upgrade boards that keep tripping and add surge protection to keep equipment safe.
Learn MoreCOC Certificates
Selling or leasing a property in Cape Town means you need a valid COC. We inspect the wiring, fix whatever fails, and issue the certificate.
Learn MoreGenerator Installations
Offices, shops and industrial units rely on us for generators and changeover switches that keep the business running through an outage.
Learn MoreFault Finding & Emergencies
A fault that takes out a floor of offices needs sorting fast. We trace the problem, fix it, and get the building back to normal.

Solar Installation
Cape Town businesses carry heavy power bills, and the flat roofs on offices, warehouses and apartment blocks are perfect for solar. A commercial system with battery backup protects you from load shedding and pays for itself over time. We fit solar systems for businesses, body corporates and homes across the city.
Air Conditioning
Offices, shops and apartments across Cape Town need cooling that runs quietly and does not blow the running costs. We supply and install split units and inverter aircons for commercial and residential clients, and we handle multiple units across a building. Here is more on our air conditioning work.
