Durban Team
The DB board (distribution board) is where your main supply splits out into all the circuits in your home, and where the breakers and earth leakage protect you. When it goes wrong, you get nuisance tripping, dead circuits, or — at worst — a fire risk from loose, overheating connections. We repair, upgrade and install boards across Durban, and we leave them tidy, correctly labelled and safe.
The board problems we fix
Salt-air corrosion
On the Durban coast, humid salt air corrodes board terminals and busbars, causing high-resistance, overheating connections.
Nuisance tripping
A worn earth leakage or a board that's outgrown the home's load trips at random — we find out which and put it right.
Overloaded / outdated boards
Old boards with too few ways, no proper earth leakage, or a tangle of added circuits — upgraded to a safe, modern layout.
Unsafe wiring & labelling
Loose connections, mixed-up circuits and no labels — rewired neatly so the next person can actually read it.
Repair, upgrade or full replacement
Not every board needs replacing — sometimes it's a single failed breaker, a tired earth leakage, or a connection that's worked loose. We diagnose it first and give you an honest call on whether a repair will do or whether the board has reached the end of its life. If your tripping turns out to be coming from a circuit rather than the board, we move into proper fault finding. And while we're in the board, it's the ideal time to add a surge arrestor to protect against KZN storms and load-shedding spikes.
A DB board is exactly the kind of thing a COC inspection picks up on, so any board work we do is done to standard and can be certified — useful if you're heading to transfer.
We work on boards across the metro, from the salt-air-exposed coast around the Bluff to the northern suburbs, with upfront pricing and clean, labelled workmanship.
