FAQs
What distinguishes your electrical switches as “uncompromising quality” products?
Every switch is built with industrial-grade polycarbonate housings, silver-nickel contacts for low resistance, and flame-retardant backplates rated to 850 °C glow-wire tests. We batch-test for 40,000 on/off cycles—twice the IEC 60669 requirement—so you receive a switch that performs smoothly and safely for decades.
Are your switches certified for use in Wartburg and the broader South African market?
Yes. All models carry the SANS 164-1 plug-and-socket compatibility mark and comply with IEC 60669 safety and performance standards. Independent audits by the SABS verify insulation resistance, earth continuity, and temperature-rise limits. Compliance documents are available on request for architects, inspectors, and insurance providers.
Do you provide professional installation services in Wartburg?
We offer a full turnkey installation package inside Wartburg and neighbouring towns. A licensed electrician will survey your site, replace existing switch plates, label circuits, and issue a Certificate of Compliance (CoC) on completion. Labour, travel, minor plaster touch-ups, and disposal of old fittings are all included in the quoted price.
Can your switches be retrofitted into my existing wiring without major rewiring?
In most cases, yes. Our standard grid and plate sizes align with the 4×2 and 4×4 wall boxes commonly used in homes built after 1980. The shallow back depth (18 mm) leaves enough space for older, solid-core wiring. Only installations with non-compliant aluminium wiring or damaged conduits may need additional work, which we identify during the site survey.
Do you stock smart or energy-efficient switch options?
Alongside traditional rockers, we stock Wi-Fi and Zigbee smart modules that fit the same faceplates. They support app control, voice assistants, and real-time energy monitoring down to 0.1 kWh. For lighting, our illuminated pilot models use less than 0.2 W in standby, ensuring visibility without noticeable power draw.
What warranty and after-sales support can I expect?
All switches carry a 12-year replacement warranty covering mechanical failure, discoloration, and contact pitting under normal domestic loads. Warranty claims are handled locally from our Wartburg service desk, with a 48-hour turnaround on stock replacements. Lifetime telephone and email support are included for troubleshooting, programming smart models, and sourcing spare parts.
