F.A.Q.

Frequent Questions

u

Can I do small electrical jobs in my house myself?

Definitely NO!!

In South Africa it is illegal for anyone but a qualified electrician to do any domestic wiring or house rewiring. Even if the work has been done to standard it will not pass certification which is bad news especially if you need to sell the property. It makes sense for safety to hire a qualified electrician to carry out all your household wiring. You also risk your personal safety and the safety of your family and friends.

u

What is smart wiring?

Smart Wiring is an industry wiring standard that once installed allows you to access multiple telephone, Internet, fax, PAY-TV options, as well as security, audio, lighting home automation, and garden irrigation features.

u

Why is copper wiring better than optic fibre or wireless systems?

The copper wiring system meets all the South African Standards and works for all systems. It can be installed cheaper, is more durable and reliable than any other system and can carry large amounts of data.

u

What is home automation?

Clever home automation allows your family to enjoy greater convenience and security in your home by better designing, programming and integrating your electrical equipment. We help you create your dream home by making it easier for you to select and realise the home automation that best benefits you and your family.

Home automation benefits include ‘future proofing’, convenience, aesthetics or energy savings.

The scope of home automation can range from structured wiring for telephone, video-intercom, internet, LAN and video, through home theatre and multi-room audio, automated lighting control, security and keyless entry, to automated control of electric motorised blinds, motorised roller shutters, watering, air-conditioning, exhaust fans, ceiling fans, and other appliances.

u

When should I have an electrical safety check?

Garnet Electrical recommend that you should have an electrical inspection carried out if:

  • You are purchasing a property that has been occupied
  • The property is more that 25 years old
  • If it is more that 5 years since one has been done
  • If you are concerned about how any of the equipment may have been installed
