In South Africa only a registered electrician may issue an Electrical Certificate of Compliance (CoC), and a valid CoC is needed when you sell a property, add new circuits or install a solar or backup power system. When you call an electrician, ask for their Department of Employment and Labour registration as an installation electrician or master installation electrician.
Common jobs in Benoni homes include tripping earth-leakage units, old distribution boards without surge protection, and inverter or battery installs that need to be signed off before your insurer will cover them.
If you smell burning or see scorch marks at a plug or the DB board, switch off the main breaker and call an electrician before using that circuit again.
