Frequently asked questions about electrician in Durban
Do I need a Certificate of Compliance (CoC) for electrical work?
Yes — under the Electrical Installation Regulations (2009) and the Occupational Health and Safety Act, any new installation, alteration, or addition must result in a signed CoC by a registered electrical contractor. CoCs are mandatory at property transfer (the conveyancer will demand one) and after any incident-related claim with your insurer.
What's the difference between an electrician and a registered electrical contractor?
Electricians do the physical work. Only Department of Labour-registered electrical contractors (Single-Phase, Three-Phase, or Wireman's licence) can issue CoCs. Always ask for the registration number and verify on the Electrical Contracting Board (ECB) register. A CoC signed by a non-registered person is invalid and the work is unlawful.
How much does it cost to wire a new house in SA?
Domestic rewires run R280–R450 per square metre (labour + materials, single-phase). A typical 150m² home: R45,000–R75,000 including DB board, surge protection, and CoC. Solar/PV-ready provisioning adds R8,000–R15,000. Always price excluding fittings (lights, switches, fans) — those are owner-supply line items.
