Wiring a second dwelling correctly and legally.
A granny flat is effectively a second installation. It needs its own protection, and often its own metering.
Key Points
- Sub-board with dedicated protection
- Correctly sized supply cable
- Separate metering where rented out
- Its own compliance documentation
What This Means for Your Property
Electrical decisions compound. A shortcut taken today becomes an expensive rework, a failed inspection or a declined insurance claim later. The safest route is always the documented one: a written quote, compliant materials, correct testing and a certificate on completion.
If you are unsure how any of this applies to your home, complex or premises in Gauteng, speak to a registered electrician before spending money. A short conversation usually saves far more than it costs.
