The Electrician Germiston's Factories and Families Rely On
Few towns in South Africa have worked harder for longer than Germiston. We keep its plants, workshops and century-old houses safely powered, backed by 15+ years of experience, full insurance, registered COC issuers and a workmanship guarantee.
An Electrician in Germiston Built for Heavy Industry
Germiston has been making things since the gold rush, and it shows in its electrical infrastructure. Wadeville and Elandsfontein still carry some of the heaviest industrial loads in Ekurhuleni, often through switchgear that was installed when the factory first opened. Working as an electrician in Germiston means being as comfortable in front of a 50-year-old board as a brand-new one, and knowing which is which before quoting.
New Power Holdings has spent more than fifteen years on exactly this kind of work. Our installation electricians are registered with the Department of Employment and Labour, the company is fully insured, and everything we touch is tested to SANS 10142-1 and covered by our workmanship guarantee.
The same team looks after the town's homes. Primrose, Lambton, Dinwiddie and Elsburg are full of solid older houses whose wiring has outlived several owners, and we treat them with the respect they deserve.
What We Handle on Factory Floors
From Wadeville's steel and engineering works to the warehouses of Driehoek and Knights, our industrial electrician service in Germiston covers the full plant lifecycle:
- Three-phase installations. New supplies, load balancing and distribution for machinery of any size.
- Motor and machine connections. Compressors, presses, mills and conveyors wired with correct isolation and overload protection.
- Legacy switchgear replacement. Phased upgrades of obsolete boards without stopping production.
- Factory and warehouse lighting. High-bay LED conversions that cut the power bill and brighten the floor.
- Plant fault finding. Methodical fault diagnosis on supplies, panels and circuits that keep tripping.
- Planned maintenance. Scheduled inspections and maintenance contracts that prevent expensive downtime.
- Breakdown response. A 24/7 emergency line for plants that cannot wait until Monday.
Older Houses, Honest Rewires and Valid COCs
Many Germiston homes date from the first half of the last century, and their electrics often do too. We rewire deteriorated circuits, add earth leakage protection where there has never been any, replace crumbling DB boards and bring garages, cottages and outbuildings into the fold legally. If you are selling, our COC service in Germiston inspects the installation, quotes honestly on what genuinely needs fixing, and issues a Certificate of Compliance that holds up at transfer.
Landlords around Primrose and Elsburg use us for the same reason the factories do: we put everything in writing and we do not cut corners. Wondering what your place needs? Send a few photos through our free quote form and we'll give you a straight answer.

Answers for Germiston Property Owners
Yes, and we do so regularly in Wadeville and Driehoek. We assess the condition of legacy boards, source compatible protection where it still makes sense, and plan phased replacements where it does not, so production keeps running while the installation is brought up to standard.
The common culprits are missing or faulty earth leakage protection, deteriorated wiring insulation, poor earthing and bonding, and DIY additions done without certification over the years. We quote to fix only what the standard actually requires and then issue the certificate.
That is how we prefer to plan industrial work. Shutdown windows, night shifts, weekends and staged change-overs are all routine for our teams, and every job is scoped with your production schedule in front of us.
We do. Our teams service the whole of Germiston, from hangars and workshops around Rand Airport to homes and businesses near Gosforth Park, Lambton and Dinwiddie.
Fully. New Power Holdings carries comprehensive insurance, our installation electricians are registered with the Department of Employment and Labour, and all site work is run to OHS Act requirements with the paperwork to prove it.
