How to hire a electrician in Brits
- Confirm the pro is registered with the Department of Labour — a legal requirement for electrical work.
- Ask for a Certificate of Compliance (CoC) — mandatory when selling a property.
- Get the estimated hours + hourly rate upfront so surprises don't appear on the final bill.
- For load-shedding backup solar work, request references and photos of past installations.
- Ask if the pro carries liability insurance — protects you if work causes damage.
Safety advice
- Never DIY beyond changing a light globe. Illegal work voids home insurance.
- Ensure the electrician isolates the mains before ANY work on your DB board.
- Ask for the CoC on any new circuit — you cannot legally sell without one.
