Hi, I'm Jess. Tell me what's going wrong at home today.
Half the plugs in my house stopped working and the earth leakage won't stay up.
That usually means a fault or moisture on one circuit, and it needs proper testing rather than repeated resetting. Unplug appliances on the dead circuits and leave the switch off, then let's get you connected with a vetted electrician to trace the fault safely.

How it works
How much does an electrician cost in South Africa?

Most jobs start with a call-out fee from around R450, which covers the Pro's travel and time to assess and quote. If you choose not to proceed, that's all you pay. Standard repairs and fault finding typically come in at about R750 including the first hour of labour, with additional time at around R550 per hour, plus materials. Installations are usually flat-priced, from roughly R950 (stove, oven or UPS) up to about R3,950 (inverter and battery systems), while an Electrical CoC generally costs R950 (single phase) or R1,650 (three phase). These are estimates, and your Pro confirms the exact price upfront.

Can I get an emergency electrician after hours through Kandua?

Yes, many pros on Kandua take after-hours and weekend work. As a guide, emergency and after-hours pricing typically runs at about 1.5–2× the standard labour rate. Confirm the after-hours policy and exact pricing with your Pro before they head to your address.

How does Kandua vet its electricians?

Every pro on Kandua is vetted before they can quote on jobs, and reviews come from verified customers, not anonymous ratings. Jess, Kandua's AI home companion, helps you scope the job properly so you're matched with an electrician who does that type of work.

How do I get an accurate quote from an electrician?

Describe the problem clearly, what's happening, where, and since when, and add photos or a short video if you can capture them safely. The more accurately the job is scoped upfront, the closer the quote will be to the final bill and the fewer surprises on the day.
