Without electricity, most of the things we do and rely on on a daily basis wouldn\u2019t be there.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; Teresa and Kevin K.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2>\u00a0<\/h2>\n<h4>We all love a bargain. It\u2019s human nature, especially when times are tough. You need a new plug point installed in the kitchen, or perhaps your distribution board keeps tripping every time you use the kettle and stove together.<\/h4>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4\">You ask around. Someone knows a &#8220;guy.&#8221; Let\u2019s call him &#8220;Bakkie Dave.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5\">Dave arrives in an unmarked vehicle. He has tools, he seems confident enough, and his quote is less than half of what the professional companies quoted. He says he can do it &#8220;cash, right now, no paperwork needed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6\">It feels like an easy win. You hire him. He spends an hour messing around in your roof and at the DB board. He bypasses a safety switch that was &#8220;being a nuisance.&#8221; He twists some wires together and wraps them in black tape inside the wall.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7\">The lights go on. The kettle boils. You pay him cash, he drives off, and you feel smart for saving a few hundred Rand.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8\"><b>But here is the part of the story you don\u2019t see.<\/b><\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"9\">Electricity isn&#8217;t like plumbing. If a pipe leaks, you see water. It\u2019s messy, but usually not deadly. Electricity is silent, invisible, and incredibly unforgiving.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"10\">While you are sleeping tonight, the connection Dave made inside your wall\u2014the one using the wrong thickness of wire because it was cheaper\u2014is starting to get hot. It\u2019s meant to handle 10 amps, but it\u2019s pulling 20.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"11\">Slowly, the plastic insulation around that wire begins to soften. Then it melts.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"12\">It\u2019s 3:00 AM on a Tuesday. The exposed live copper wire inside your drywall finally touches a wooden support beam. A tiny spark. A small smolder.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"13\">Within minutes, smoke is filling the hallway where your children sleep.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"14\"><b>The Morning After the Nightmare<\/b><\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"15\">Let\u2019s assume you are lucky. The smoke alarms worked, and you got your family out alive. You are standing on the pavement watching the fire brigade hosing down what used to be your living room.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"16\">The real horror story starts when the insurance assessor arrives the next day.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"17\">They walk through the charred remains. They inspect the DB board. They find the bypassed safety switch. They find the substandard wiring that caused the blaze.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"18\">The first question they ask you is: <i>&#8220;Can I see the Certificate of Compliance (COC) for the recent electrical work?&#8221;<\/i><\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"19\">You don\u2019t have one. Dave doesn&#8217;t issue COCs because he isn&#8217;t registered with the Department of Labour. He isn&#8217;t qualified to sign off on safety standards.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"20\">The assessor closes their notebook. <b>Claim denied.<\/b><\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"21\">Because you used illegal, uncertified labor, your insurance policy is worthless. You just lost your biggest financial asset to save R800.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"22\"><b>The Registered Difference<\/b><\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"23\">This isn&#8217;t scaremongering. As a registered professional in this industry, I see the &#8220;handiwork&#8221; of illegal electricians almost every week. It is terrifying.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"24\">When you hire a registered electrician, you aren&#8217;t just paying for someone to connect two wires.<\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"25\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"25,0,0\"><b>You are paying for accountability:<\/b> We are registered. If we do dangerous work, we lose our license to operate. We have skin in the game.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"25,1,0\"><b>You are paying for standards:<\/b> We follow strict SANS regulatory codes designed to keep houses from burning down. We calculate loads, we earth appliances correctly, and we test our work.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"25,2,0\"><b>You are paying for peace of mind:<\/b> When we finish a job, we issue a COC. If something goes wrong later, your insurance company knows the installation was legally compliant.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"26\">When an illegal electrician messes up, they change their SIM card and disappear. When a registered electrician finishes a job, they put their name on it.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"27\">Don&#8217;t gamble with your property, and please, don&#8217;t gamble with the lives of the people living under your roof. When it comes to electricity, &#8220;cheap&#8221; is usually the most expensive option you\u2019ll ever choose.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"375\" height=\"302\" src=\"https:\/\/ewelectric.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/services_img02.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ewelectric.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/services_img02.jpg 375w, https:\/\/ewelectric.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/services_img02-300x242.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"375\" height=\"302\" src=\"https:\/\/ewelectric.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/services_img03.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ewelectric.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/services_img03.jpg 375w, https:\/\/ewelectric.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/services_img03-300x242.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h3>Always Hire a Professionals<\/h3>\n<p>No matter urgent any electrical repairs seem, it\u2019s never okay to attempt to handle them on your own. Trying to take care of electrical problems without professional training is extremely dangerous. If you or someone else aren\u2019t hurt during your attempt, there\u2019s still a chance that you\u2019ve left something undone that poses a huge risk to you, your home, or your family. In fact, faulty electrical wiring is the number one cause of house fires in the United States, according to the National Fire Protection Agency. So in order to make sure that your home is safe, rely on a professional for any electrical services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Electricity is arguably the most valuable resource we have in our modern society.
