A clearer route to the right help
Get your home working properly.
An electrical problem at home needs a clear route to help. Tell Amptex whether the fault affects the whole property, one room or a particular circuit so the team can understand your request before attending.
Recognise the right enquiry
When to speak to our team
- A sudden loss of power affecting part or all of the property.
- Repeated tripping, damaged fittings or an electrical fault that interrupts normal use.
- An urgent fault involving a distribution board, circuit or fixed electrical installation.
Understand the work
From the symptoms to a practical plan
A power problem is a symptom, not a diagnosis. The enquiry should distinguish a property fault from a wider supply interruption and identify which rooms, circuits or equipment are affected. Tell the office about any recent installation work and whether neighbours or other units have the same problem. An electrician can then assess the installation and the appropriate repair scope.
Repair, replacement and the wider job
Emergency attendance, investigation and the eventual repair are different parts of a job. Access, replacement components and the findings on site can affect what is possible during the first visit. Discuss immediate attendance and any follow-up work separately; a photograph alone cannot establish that an installation is safe.
For your home
An electrical fault in an occupied home
A flat with one failed circuit, a home office without power and a house with a complete outage are different enquiries. Tell the office which everyday functions have stopped and whether other properties appear affected. Explain the symptoms from a safe position; do not open a board or keep resetting protection to collect information.
-
Occupants and access
Identify who is at home, who can admit the electrician and whether an estate or landlord controls access.
-
Affected rooms
Describe the rooms and fixed fittings affected, and whether the problem started while an appliance was being used.
-
Repair decisions
Give the person authorising the repair a contact number. Ask how any parts or follow-up work will be agreed.
What affects this quotation?
Your quotation will depend on:
- Location, timing and the investigation required.
- Affected circuits, components and any replacement parts.
- Access to the installation and further repair requirements.
Explain who may authorise the work at home and any arrangements with a landlord, agent or body corporate.
Confirm applicable attendance and assessment charges before booking. See quotation, callout and cancellation information.
Useful information for your enquiry
- Describe what has stopped working and when it started.

- Mention visible damage, water near electrical equipment or unusual smells without approaching the affected equipment.
Take photos only from a safe position. Attachments are optional; call directly for urgent assistance.
Before you book
Questions about this service
Will an emergency call guarantee a repair on the first visit?
The team needs to understand the fault and assess the installation. Some repairs depend on parts, access or further work. Call to discuss availability and the next step rather than assuming that submitting a form confirms attendance or completion.
What should I tell you when I call?
Give your suburb, what has stopped working and whether the problem affects all or part of your home. Tell us about access restrictions. Call rather than relying on an online form for an urgent request.
Where and when can I arrange this service?
Call with the suburb, urgency and scope. We serve Johannesburg and Gauteng; Pretoria, Soweto and outer Gauteng are by arrangement. The office confirms availability and applicable travel arrangements.
