An electrical certificate of compliance (COC) shows your wiring was tested and is safe. You need one to sell a property and after new electrical work. Daniël inspects, tests every circuit, fixes anything that fails at an agreed price, and issues the certificate himself as a registered electrician.

The inspection is a fixed range. If something fails, Daniël tells you what and what it costs before he fixes it. Nothing is added without your say-so.
A COC is more than a look at the DB board. Daniël measures each part of the installation with test instruments and records the results in a test report that goes with your certificate.
The readings in this report are a sample, to show what gets measured; yours will have your own.
Test report Sample
Call or WhatsApp Daniël with the address and roughly how big the property is.
Daniël checks the DB board, wiring, plugs, lights and fixed appliances, and measures every circuit.
If anything fails, you get a price first. Daniël fixes it and retests.
You get the COC and test report, ready for your agent or conveyancer.
For a home on a single-phase supply, a COC inspection usually costs R3,000 to R8,000, from a small to a large house. A three-phase installation is usually R5,000 to R10,000. The final price depends mostly on the repairs needed to pass, and Daniël prices those before he does them.
Yes. The seller has to hand over a valid electrical COC before transfer. Your estate agent or conveyancer will usually ask for it early, so it is worth booking the inspection as soon as you decide to sell.
A COC stays valid as long as nobody alters the installation. For a sale, most conveyancers and buyers ask for one issued within the last two years. If the wiring has changed since then, you need a new one.
Daniël can't issue a COC until the faults are fixed. He shows you what failed and what it costs to put right, and once it's done he retests and issues the certificate.
The inspection and tests take 2 to 4 hours for a house, and 4 to 8 hours or more for a commercial or industrial property. Any repairs needed to pass usually add another 4 to 8 hours or more, plus materials. Daniël needs access to the DB board, every room and any outbuildings.
Not if it was installed after the certificate was issued. New work like that needs its own certificate. Daniël holds a PV Green Card and can install, test and certify inverter, battery and solar systems.
Only a registered person: an electrician registered with the Department of Employment and Labour. Daniël is registered as Registered installation electrician, no. 39875.
