Durban Team
Right now? If you can smell burning or see sparking, switch off the main breaker at your DB board and call us on 061 146 3938. We're available 24 hours.
Electrical faults don't wait for office hours. A board that won't reset, a plug that's started smelling of burning plastic, or power that's gone off across half the house — these are the calls we take at all hours. We're a local Durban team of registered electricians, so when you phone you're talking to someone who can actually get to you, not a call centre taking a message for Monday.
The emergencies we get out to most
No power at all
Total loss that isn't load-shedding — a tripped main that won't reset, or a supply fault we need to trace.
Burning or fishy smell
Overheating wiring or a failing connection in a plug, light fitting or the DB board. Switch off and call.
Tripping that won't stop
An earth leakage or breaker that flips the moment you reset it — a real fault, not a glitch.
Load-shedding surge damage
Power back on but circuits dead, or a popped geyser element after the grid switched in.
Why call a registered electrician
It's tempting to keep flipping the breaker and hope, but a board that trips repeatedly is telling you something is wrong on the circuit — and chasing it without the right testing gear is how people get hurt. Our electricians arrive, trace the fault properly, and make it safe before they leave. Where the trip is coming from a hidden wiring fault we'll do full electrical fault finding; where the board itself has failed we handle DB board repairs on the spot where we can.
Every emergency call-out is handled by a COC-certified, eThekwini-based electrician, and any repairs are done to standard — so once we've fixed it, it's fixed properly and signed off, not patched.
Across the Durban metro, any hour
We respond across Durban — the central suburbs, the coast, and out west. Whether you're in Durban North with a board that's tripped overnight or further out toward Pinetown with a burning smell from a plug, phone the line and we'll give you a straight answer on how fast we can be there.
It can't wait? Neither can we.
