Frequently asked questions
What should I do while I wait?
If there's smoke, sparking or a burning smell and it's safe to reach, switch off the main switch at your DB board. Don't touch exposed wires. If there's a fire, call emergency services first.
Is it an emergency or load-shedding?
Check whether your neighbours have power and your municipality or Eskom schedule. If only your property is affected, it's likely a fault we can help with.
How much is an emergency call-out?
Our day and night call-out rates are listed on this page. You pay 50% to book and the balance after inspection.
