DB board repairs in Roodepoort
Roodepoort boards in Florida and Constantia Kloof garages take dust and, in some older roofs, a leak above the enclosure. A rusty gland or a white crust on a breaker is a reason to repair, not to paint the box and leave it. Complexes toward Wilgeheuwel put the unit board in a cupboard and the supply breaker in a passage. You may need permission to isolate the passage side. Write that down.
Pool pumps and gate motors on these stands are frequently on the house earth leakage. A damp pump start trips the whole home. The board repair might be a dedicated breaker for the pump, which is only possible if there is a spare way and a cable that is up to the load. The electrician measures. We do not.
Manual changeover in the garage
Weltevreden Park garages often gained a generator inlet during load shedding. If the changeover is a cheap switch with no interlock, say so before someone works live nearby. A correct changeover prevents the generator from feeding the street. If you do not know whether yours does that, the brief should admit it. Guessing 'it is fine' is how people get hurt.
Questions and answers
The board is outside the unit. Can you still match me?
Yes, if you can get the electrician to that cupboard. Say whether the key is with security. We cannot collect keys.
Do you waterproof a board?
A board in a wet wall needs the leak fixed and the damaged gear replaced. Spray paint is not a repair. Describe the moisture so the quote includes it.
Is Ontdekkers Road your service centre?
No. It is a road people use for directions. We have no Roodepoort centre there.
