Why does my electricity keep tripping?

Common causes of electricity tripping include overloaded circuits, faulty appliances, earth leakage faults, damaged wiring, or a faulty geyser element. If your power keeps tripping, an electrician can test the earth leakage unit and isolate the fault. WhatsApp 060 985 5047 to book a callout.

What causes the main switch to trip?

A main switch trips due to short circuits, earth leakage faults, overloaded circuits, or water ingress into electrical connections. A geyser tripping the electricity is one of the most common causes — the element or thermostat may be faulty. An electrician can test and identify the exact source.

My prepaid electricity meter is not working — what should I do?

If your prepaid meter shows "failed", is blank, or won't accept tokens, it could be a meter fault, a tamper flag, or a supply issue. Try switching the main breaker off and on. If that doesn't work, contact your municipality or WhatsApp us on 060 985 5047 to connect you with a qualified electrician who can diagnose the problem.

Can a geyser trip the electricity?

Yes. A faulty geyser element or thermostat is one of the most common reasons for electricity tripping. If your geyser is tripping the power, switch off the geyser breaker at the DB board and call an electrician to test the element and earth leakage.
