During an electrical assessment, various aspects of the electrical installation are typically tested to ensure safety and compliance with regulated standards. Here's a breakdown of what is and isn't usually tested:

What is tested during an electrical assessment:

Distribution Boards & Sub-Distribution Boards: Examination of main and secondary electrical panels.
Correct Rating of Devices: Ensuring the correct voltage ratings are applied to electrical devices.
Plug Sockets and Light Points: Testing functionality and safety of outlets and lighting fixtures.
Swimming Pool / Jacuzzi Sub-Distribution Boards: Inspecting electrical installations associated with pools or Jacuzzis.
Outside Building Electrical Installations: Checking wiring and systems located outdoors.

What is NOT tested during an electrical assessment:

Solar Installations: Typically excluded from standard electrical assessments.
Inverter / Battery Installations: These aspects are not usually included in the assessment unless specifically requested or separately assessed. (This can be done at an extra charge)

This breakdown helps clarify the areas that are examined and those that are not generally included in a standard electrical assessment, such as solar setups or inverter/battery installations, which might require specialized assessments or separate checks.
 

Cost Breakdown:

✅ a) Full Electrical Compliance Assessment
Charges range from R2 200.00 to R6 000.00 (VAT inclusive)
Price varies based on factors such as:
• Quantity of Distribution Boards (DBs)
• Number of bedrooms
• Assessment time required
• Total square meters of the unit

• Availability of the Initial COC

Important: If there is no existing original COC, we must issue an initial COC, which requires a full, detailed compliance assessment to ensure legal and safety requirements are met.
This process is more thorough and therefore costs more than issuing a supplementary COC (which is only possible if an original COC is already available).

b) Travel Charges:

Travel beyond a 30km radius from the Grove Mall, Lynnwood Road incurs a fee of R6.50 per kilometer (excluding VAT).
After assessment, you'll receive a repair quotation before any repairs are scheduled.

Certificate of Compliance (COC):

COC is issued upon completion of repairs.
Once your account is settled, the COC is emailed to you.

Important Note:

Certificates are issued electronically; no hardcopies are provided.

Important Notes to Consider:

Inspection Hours: Inspections happen between 8 am and 5 pm on weekdays. We can accommodate after-hours and weekend inspections upon request, but these might incur additional charges.
During Inspection: All electricity will be turned on and off periodically for testing purposes.
Client Responsibilities: SRE isn't liable for any damage to machines, computers, servers, etc., left switched on during the inspection.
Electrical Installations: To meet Compliance Certification standards, circuit breakers might trip due to the system attempting to handle a greater electrical load. This might not be due to our work but could be from past incorrect installations. If the inspection reveals the cause of tripping isn't due to our work, a call-out fee will be charged for further investigation. Any repair request may incur additional charges for labor and materials.
Appliance Caution: We make efforts to reconnect appliances like fridges or freezers after testing, but it's advisable for clients to double-check these appliances after any electrical work to prevent damage to their contents. SRE cannot be held responsible for damage to the contents.

Our Commitment to You:

High Standards: We meet Government guidelines (SANS 10142-B) for our services.
After Inspection: Once we inspect, we'll send a repair quote. Please note, the inspection fee is payable regardless of whether you proceed with repairs.
Quick Fixes: For simple repairs costing less than R1000.00 (excl. VAT), we'll promptly fix them without prior notice. You'll cover costs up to R1000.00 (Excl. VAT). *depending that material required is available onsite.
Getting the Work Done: If you accept the electrical repair quote and pay the initial inspection fee, we'll schedule the repairs.
Possible Deposit: Based on the inspection, a deposit might be needed before starting any work.
Receiving the Certificate: Your Certificate of Compliance (COC) will be given once full payment for the repair work is received.
