ELECTRICAL PLUG INSTALLATIONS

There are various ways to install plugs to make them safe, we take all the following precautions and more when installing Electrical plugs into your home or business in Johannesburg:

  • Installing of a Weather-Proof light for the Garden and water features allows the home owner to change the globes on their own when necessary
  • When Installing Garden lights, day-light switches can and should be installed and these should be conveniently locates
  • Electrical fittings should allow the Owner to change his light Decoration at will
  • Installing of a dedicated plug next to the Freezer assists that in an event that the earth leakage trips, the Freezer will remain on.  This is very useful and money saving especially when you are away
  • Installation of a plug Point in the ceiling is crucial for Burglar Alarm Points
  • Installations of dedicated plugs for computer will assist in the event that should the earth leakage trip, it will not interrupt the power supply to the Computers
  • Installation of a plug for Washing Machine Units should be controlled by an Isolator above the working top.
