Frequently asked questions 👇
As an estimate, a call-out fee starts from around R450 and covers the Pro's travel and time to assess the job and give you a quote. It's the only charge if you decide not to go ahead. Everyday repairs and fault finding usually start at about R750 including the first hour of labour, with further time at roughly R550 per hour, plus materials. Flat-priced installations range from around R950 (stove, oven or UPS) to about R3,950 (inverter and battery systems), and an Electrical CoC typically costs R950 for single phase or R1,650 for three phase. Kandua Pros quote competitively against these guide rates, so you'll always see your exact price before work begins.
Warning signs include frequent tripping, warm sockets or switches, flickering lights, fabric- or lead-covered cables, and a DB without earth leakage protection. Many older Cape Town homes have had decades of piecemeal additions, so an inspection gives you a clear picture. Coastal properties should also have corroded external fittings checked.
Yes, after-hours and emergency electricians are available on Kandua in Cape Town. Expect emergency work to be charged at roughly 1.5–2× the standard labour rate as a general guide, and always confirm pricing with your Pro before they leave for your address.

Electrician reviews in Cape-Town area
Talent is knowledgeable about his job. I once used him to wall wire the house I was moving into. The work was done punctually as we were racing against time to move in. I have yet to call him back to fix something because when he does his work it's permanent. I recommend his services and would willingly call him for my next electrical job.
Robson is a good service provider, he does electrical installations and maintenance on our guest houses. He is reliable, professional and he is responsive even in case of emergency. I haven't had any problems working with him, he is trustworthy because he delivers big jobs for us, and he is good at what he does. He is well spoken, he doesn't leave a client waiting, he doesn't hesitate to rectify any mistakes and I can recommend him to anyone.
Tavonga did electrical repairs for my plugs and lights and he was amazing. He is coming again next week to do dome electrical installations because I was impressed with the work that he did for me. He was great, and I am so grateful. He gave me good advice and he is knowledgeable about his work. He is professional, on time, and he is good at what he does. I can recommend his services.
He came to do the electrical installation at my place and he did it very well. He was very quick to respond when I contacted him, he came and gave me a reasonable quote. The work was done as promised, on time and to my satisfaction. Everything is working well and there were no comebacks. I was very impressed with his after-sale service. I would not hesitate to recommend him anytime to anyone.
I have been using his services whenever I got a building contract. He would help me with wiring and fitting all electrical stuff. I have never had any problem with the way he does his job. I have referred him to several big companies to offer them his services. He shows professionalism when doing his work.
He didnt need to be managed and he did his wrk in time. He is a hardworking man.
I have been working with Clifford for almost a year now. He is an efficient person who is reliable. He has a wireman's license aswell. I have never had to follow him around, he does what is expected of him.
I have a construction company and he was working with me for three different projects in which the work was done excellently. He is one of the most genuine guys that I have worked with, he is young and innovative, intelligent and hard-working. I can't find any faults, his work is up to date, good quality. My working hours were comfortable but whenever we started working he would be available at that time. I would recommend his services to other people.
Robson installed lights, switches, electrical wiring for my flat and his work is excellent. His housekeeping is amazing, his quotes are reasonable and he is trustworthy because he is always on time. He doesn't cancel appointments, he is professional, reliable and I can recommend him to anyone.
Mine was a job well done so i would definitely recommend him to other people. I was impressed with the installation he did for me the first time and so i had to call him again. He really knows his work and he does it very conscientiously. I have never had any problems with his work so far. He is very professional, very quick and also very efficient. His pricing is very good for the service that he provides.
