Good day, I need assistance in the repair of a plug socket. My wife came home and noticed that the plug had burnt at the socket (see photos attached). Together with this, I want to check if my electrical components are safe as we have experienced trips and I am not sure if the breakers I have are working properly.
Hi there My domestic worker has recently got electricity to her home in Bossiesgif (next to the industrial area). We fought with the municipality to get it installed but now I realise she has a meter but she is running an extension from her meter to her room and I am concerned she may not have a proper DB board and plug set up. I would hate for her power to short circuit or a fire to start. I'd like to get a ready board with 4 plugs and a light installed for her. Something like the attached. Would you be able to assist with setting this up in an informal settlement? Thanks for your help!

Message to Electrician: Hi, I need assistance with a possible fault in our geyser setup. Every time we switch on the geyser, the switchboard (DB board) trips. We’ve also noticed that our prepaid electricity usage has drastically increased over the past few weeks. It may be an issue with the geyser element, thermostat, or wiring causing a short circuit or overload. There’s also a chance the geyser is running continuously and consuming excess power. Please inspect the geyser, its circuit, and the DB board to identify and resolve the issue. Kindly note: you must be a qualified electrician who can issue a valid Electrical Certificate of Compliance (CoC) once the work is complete. Let me know your soonest availability.
