Electrical Problems Do Not Wait. Neither Do We.

Fast Response Times

A tripped circuit, a burning smell, or a DB board that keeps cutting out are not things you can put off. We offer clear communication about what needs to be done and fast response times for emergencies.

Done to Standard

Electrical work that is done poorly is a safety risk and can cause serious compliance issues. We ensure all repairs and installations meet the required standard so you aren’t dealing with the same problem in six months.

Reliable Professionals

We work with homeowners, property managers, and commercial clients who cannot afford downtime. Whatever the job, it gets done by registered electricians and handed over correctly.

Our Electrical Services

We handle a wide range of electrical work for both residential and commercial clients. Here is what we offer:

New Electrical Installations

Building a new home, adding a room, or fitting out a commercial space? We handle full electrical installations from scratch, including all wiring, plug points, and DB board setup. We also offer complete air conditioning installations.

DB Board Upgrades & Repairs

An old or overloaded DB board is a common cause of electrical problems. We assess and upgrade your board to handle your current load safely.

Fault Finding & Emergencies

If something has stopped working and you don't know why, we'll find the fault and fix it. We offer emergency electrical callouts across the Helderberg and Boland.

Certificate of Compliance (COC)

A COC is a legal requirement for property transactions. Our registered electricians inspect, repair, and issue the certificate without hassle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about working with EAR Engineering.

Yes. A Certificate of Compliance is a legal requirement when selling a property in South Africa. It confirms that the electrical installation has been inspected and is safe. If the inspection finds any issues, they need to be repaired before the certificate can be issued. We handle the full process, from inspection through to issuing the certificate.
We aim to respond the same day when possible. For the Helderberg area specifically, our response times are fast because we are based in Somerset West. Call us directly for emergencies and we will get to you as quickly as we can.
It usually means one of two things. Either a specific appliance or circuit is drawing more power than it should, or your board is overloaded and does not have enough capacity for your current electrical usage. In some cases it can indicate a fault somewhere in the wiring. We can come out, identify the cause, and tell you what needs to be done to fix it properly.
Yes. We install standby generators and the changeover systems that allow you to switch safely between grid power and generator power. This is a common request from businesses, medical facilities and homeowners who cannot afford to be without power during load shedding. We can advise on the right generator size for your needs as part of the assessment.
Yes. All our work is carried out to SANS standards by registered electricians. Where a COC is required, we issue one on completion. We do not cut corners on compliance because shoddy electrical work is a safety risk and can cause serious problems with insurance claims and property transactions.
Yes, and this is something we do regularly. We work with property management companies, estates and commercial clients on ongoing maintenance arrangements. If you manage multiple properties and need a reliable contractor who will respond quickly and document everything properly, get in touch and we can talk about what that looks like.
Yes. We handle full electrical installations for new builds, as well as additions and renovations where existing wiring needs to be extended or upgraded. We work with homeowners, developers and contractors across the Helderberg and Boland.
Yes. Because we offer all three services under one roof, we can look at your full electrical setup and make sure everything works together properly. Many of our clients use us for electrical, solar and air conditioning, which makes the whole process simpler and avoids the problems that come from having multiple contractors working on the same property.
