Port Elizabeth Electrician
No Power? Call Pete.
Port Elizabeth has a lot of solid older houses, and wiring that was fine when they were built is not always fine now. If the power is out, the board keeps dropping, or a tenant has no hot water, call Pete on 081 554 9231. Tell him what is happening and he will get an electrician to you.
Which of these fits?
Describe it as closely as you can. It saves time once someone is on site.
The power keeps dropping out
Not a clean outage. Lights dip, the fridge restarts, or half the house dies and comes back again. Faults like that are usually wiring or a loose connection.
One breaker will not stay up
Note which plugs and lights go with that breaker before you call. The electrician then tests one circuit instead of hunting through the whole house.
The house is old and nobody has checked the wiring
Houses built decades ago were wired for a fraction of what a modern family runs. If it has never been inspected, an intermittent fault is often the wiring itself.
The tenant has no power and I am not there
Say whether you are the tenant, the landlord or the managing agent, so the right person is told what was found rather than hearing it second hand.
What Port Elizabeth calls us out for
Older Wiring and Rewiring
Faults in wiring that has been in the walls for decades, and a straight answer on what should be replaced rather than patched.
Rentals and Body Corporate
Flats, townhouses and rental stock, including common property faults and after-hours tenant call-outs.
Power Failures and Fault Tracing
Complete outages, circuits that drop and come back, and the tracing work that finds the cause rather than the symptom.
Main Switches and DB Boards
Main switches that will not hold, breakers that keep dropping, and boards that buzz, smell hot or look discoloured.
Geysers and Hot Water
Geyser circuits that take the power down with them, and elements or thermostats that have failed.
Certificates of Compliance
Direction to the right qualified contractor when a COC is needed for a sale, a new lease or an insurance claim.
How bad is the situation?
Give it a score between 1 and 10. From 7 up you may skip the queue for the priority fee, and you choose whether to take it.
A call-out fee of R750 applies to every call. An emergency, rated 7 or higher, is entitled to skip the work queue and be next in line if a fee of R1,500 is agreed to, or else the normal work queue applies. There is no charge for a quote.
Where we work in Port Elizabeth
The work runs along Cape Road and out through the older parts of the city. These are the areas we are asked for most.

If you are outside these areas, tell us where you are anyway. We will say straight away whether we can get someone to you.
Port Elizabeth questions we get asked
Half the house works and half does not. Why?
A dead section usually means one circuit has dropped rather than the supply. Check the board for the breaker that is down, and tell us which rooms it covers. If everything is dead, that is a different fault altogether.
Do you handle rentals?
Yes. Flats, townhouses and managed complexes. Say whether you are the tenant, the landlord or the managing agent, so the right person is told what was found.
The wiring is old. Does it all have to be replaced?
Not necessarily, and nobody should say otherwise without looking at it. You will be told what is genuinely unsafe, what is dated but still serviceable, and what can wait.
How soon can someone be here?
Pete answers the phone himself. Give him your area and he will tell you honestly how soon an electrician can reach you. We do not work 24 hours.
