Why do my lights flicker sometimes?

Often, it's just a loose bulb. However, if tightening it doesn't work, it could signal faulty wiring, voltage fluctuations, or an overloaded circuit. Your installer or technician will confirm the details based on your setup.

Is it normal for a light switch to feel warm?

No, a warm switch is a serious warning sign of a poor connection or overload creating heat. Switch off the circuit and call an electrician immediately. It's always worth getting a professional assessment for your specific needs.

How often should I have my home's electrical system inspected in the Cape Town area?

An inspection can identify potential hazards and ensure your system is up to current safety standards. Every 5 to 10 years is a good rule of thumb, especially for older homes.

How can I tell if an electrician is qualified?

A qualified electrician on Kandua in South Africa must be registered with the Department of Labour (DoL) and have a valid Wireman's License. Kandua verifies the credentials of all our Pros. It's always worth getting a professional assessment for your specific needs.

How long should a socket replacement take?

A straightforward socket or light switch replacement typically takes 30 to 45 minutes for an experienced electrician.
