Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my DB board needs upgrading in Gordon's Bay?

Signs include: old-style fuse wire instead of breakers, frequent tripping, scorch marks on the board, no earth leakage protection, the board is full with no space for new circuits, or it looks visibly old. We offer free assessments.

How much does a DB board upgrade cost in Gordon's Bay?

Costs depend on the size of the board and number of circuits needed. We provide detailed quotes after our free assessment. A standard residential upgrade is competitively priced.

Do I need surge protection in Gordon's Bay?

Strongly recommended. Load shedding power surges when Eskom restores supply can destroy TVs, computers, and fridges. A Type 2 surge protector in your DB board costs far less than replacing damaged appliances.

Will I get a Certificate of Compliance after a DB board upgrade?

Yes. All our DB board upgrades include a CoC as required by South African regulations. Essential for property sales, rentals, and insurance.

How long does a DB board upgrade take in Gordon's Bay?

A standard residential DB board upgrade typically takes 4-6 hours. Your power will be off during the work, but we aim to complete within a single day.
