Hi. Recently bought a house and there's no wiring or DB board. There are outlet points but no outlet, no light switches and no lights (there are holes for the plugs and switches already) It is a 3 room house and a granny flat at the back that has a small kitchen and bedroom and bathroom. Need quote for the house and for the single flat (need 3 separate quotes, house, flat, house and flat)
Five room with double garage and bathroom kitchen with three separate double plugs and one single plug and sitting room with two separate double plug, the other three rooms each with two separate double plugs, eight outside lights operating with day/night sensor one plug in garage and two bathroom and isolator for stove. Each room with single switch and two passage switch and light in veranda.
4 bedrooms 1 bathroom in the main 1 bathroom for the rest of the bedroom s Sitting room Dining room Kitchen Double garage 10x outside led spotlights 2x outside normal lights 1x socket outlet for geyser Please include 2 quotes 1 with downligts, chandeliers and special lights in the bedroom and family rooms 1 with normal lights and normal plugs Please also include labour cost and call out charges so I can know how much I must budget for. Thank you
I have a secondary DB board for a cottage. The cottage is fed either from eskom or my solar, but the cottage geyser drains the solar battery. There is a meter in the secondary board. The work I require is either to run a second wire from the main board to the second board for the geyer and have a second meter, or to take a feed from other circuits in the secondary board to feed some lights and plugs from the solar during load shedding - also requiring a second meter I think. Hopefully there is space in the board for a second meter. Then there is a circuit that is disconnected because it caused a leakage trip, probably due to a shared neutral, shared between the main and secondary boards.
I need electrician to install a backup power system on a house. All components: batteries, inverters, wires, connectors ect will be supplied. The batteries and inverters will be installed in the garage of the house, power will run from the main db board to the inverter to charge the batteries, then back out from the batteries to the inverter to the db board into the house.
