Bryanston Electrician for Home and Backup Power
Big stands, garden cottages and the constant question of keeping the lights on through load shedding. New Power Holdings handles compliant wiring, inverter and generator installs and everything in between. Registered, insured, 15+ years in.
Wiring Built for Bryanston's Bigger Homes
Bryanston is a suburb of generous stands, mature gardens and homes that have grown over the years — extensions, pools, cottages, studios. All of that adds load, and a lot of properties here are running newer demands through wiring and DB boards that were specified for a simpler house. We are the Bryanston electrician people call when the board starts tripping or a renovation needs power run properly.
Supply comes from City Power, and outages plus surges have made backup power the suburb's biggest electrical conversation. Our electricians are registered with the Department of Employment and Labour, the company is fully insured, and we issue valid Certificates of Compliance. Across 5,000-plus Gauteng projects, the same standard applies to every job in Petervale, Cramerview and Epsom Downs.

Backup Power, Connected the Safe Way
Most Bryanston homes now run an inverter, a battery bank or a standby generator, and the difference between a good install and a dangerous one is invisible until something goes wrong. A backup supply that isn't properly isolated can back-feed the City Power network, which puts linesmen at risk and voids your insurance.
We install the change-over switch, the dedicated backup circuits and the surge protection (SPDs) that keep sensitive electronics alive when the grid flicks back on. Everything is wired and certified to SANS 10142-1 so the system is legal, safe and properly documented. Where you need new capacity for the whole setup, our DB board upgrade service and installation and wiring team handle it together.
Selling or transferring the property? We issue COC certificates in Bryanston after a thorough test, and fix whatever fails before signing it off.

What Bryanston Homeowners Ask
Yes. We install a change-over switch, dedicated backup circuits and surge protection so an inverter or generator powers your home without back-feeding the grid or risking the City Power network. Everything is wired and certified to SANS 10142-1.
Often. Bryanston's large stands frequently carry a cottage or staff quarters. We run a properly sized supply, fit a separate DB board with earth leakage protection, and can add a prepaid sub-meter so a tenant pays their own electricity.
Two years, and the seller must provide a valid one when a property transfers. If alterations have been done since the last COC, a fresh inspection is needed. We test, fix what fails and issue the certificate as registered COC issuers.
