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.
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.
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.
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.
Check whether your neighbours are also out. If the whole street is dark it is a supply fault and worth checking the municipal outage notices before paying for a call-out. If it is only your house, it is your installation — start at the main switch and earth leakage on the DB board, and if resetting does nothing, call us. A burning smell or exposed wiring is urgent either way.
An extra plug point runs about R850–R1,500, a DB board upgrade R6,500–R15,000, and a full rewire of a three-bedroom home R45,000–R90,000. Fault-finding is charged for the time it takes, and you are told the rate before anyone starts rather than after.
