Why the lowest quote often ends up the most expensive.
Underpriced work usually leaves out something: correct cable, proper terminations, or the certificate itself. The saving disappears with the first failure.
Key Points
- Undersized cable that overheats
- No certificate, blocking a future sale
- Insurance claims declined for non-compliance
- Rework by a second contractor
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.
