DB Board Installation & Repair Somerset West | Surge Protection & Breakers

About Our DB Board & Distribution Services in Somerset West

Somerset West has experienced remarkable growth over the past two decades, with new estates like Sitari, Croydon, and Montclair expanding the town's footprint significantly. But the established suburbs -- Parel Vallei, Somerset West Central, and Firgrove -- still have homes from the 1970s-1990s with DB boards that were adequate then but struggle with today's electrical demands.

Abacas Solution provides comprehensive DB board services across Somerset West and the Helderberg basin. Whether you need a complete board replacement in an older Parel Vallei home, surge protection for your Sitari estate property, or a dedicated circuit for a new air conditioner, our certified electricians handle it professionally.

The Helderberg area is particularly exposed to thunderstorms rolling off the mountains, making surge protection in your DB board a wise investment. A single lightning-induced power surge can destroy a fridge, smart TV, or computer in an instant. Call 067 071 9472 for a free DB board assessment.

As part of registered electricians in Somerset West, we bring over 25 years of hands-on experience to every job in Somerset West.

Frequently Asked Questions

My Somerset West home has an old DB board -- is it urgent?

If your board lacks earth leakage protection, has fuse wire, or shows scorch marks, it should be upgraded promptly. We offer free assessments to determine the priority.

Why is surge protection important in Somerset West?

The Helderberg mountains attract thunderstorms, and lightning can induce power surges. Load shedding surges are an additional risk. Surge protection saves you from costly appliance replacement.

How long does a DB board upgrade take?

A standard residential upgrade takes 4-6 hours. Power is off during the work, but we aim to complete within a single day.

Do you serve Strand and Gordon's Bay too?

Yes, we cover the entire Helderberg basin including Somerset West, Strand, and Gordon's Bay.

Will I get a CoC?

Yes, every upgrade includes a Certificate of Compliance.
