Quotes for electricians in Johannesburg
Johannesburg's years of load shedding turned inverters, batteries, and solar-ready wiring into everyday work for electricians across Sandton, Fourways, and Bryanston, alongside the usual rewires and DB board upgrades in older homes around Houghton and Parkview. Complexes and security estates like Steyn City and Dainfern add body corporate paperwork to the mix, so a clean, itemised quote helps close the deal fast. Prummo lets you dictate the quote by voice on the drive to the next site visit and send it before the customer calls the next name on the list.
Highveld thunderstorms between October and March spike DB board and surge damage call-outs almost overnight, so it's worth quoting surge protection as a separate line item rather than folding it into the base price.

Electrical work in South Africa is mostly done by small teams and independent electricians registered with the Department of Employment and Labour, the only professionals legally allowed to issue a Certificate of Compliance (CoC). Grid instability over the past few years has made backup power, inverters, batteries, and solar-ready wiring, one of the busiest categories of work, alongside the usual rewires, distribution board upgrades, and fault-finding. Sending a professional quote over WhatsApp straight after the site visit, with a PayShap payment request ready to go, helps you close the job before the customer calls around for a second opinion.

Questions about Prummo for electricians?
Faster than typing. Dictate while testing: 'Replace consumer unit, 12-way, RCBO board, supply and fit, 680. Additional socket, kitchen, surface-mounted, 85.' Send the link before you pack up your tools.
Dictate naturally: '6mm T&E cable, 15m run to cooker, 45. 32A RCBO for cooker circuit, 35. Labour, first fix and test, 4 hours at 55.' Prummo captures the technical detail. You review and adjust.
Add it as a line item: 'Certificate of Compliance (CoC), included.' A CoC can legally only be issued by an electrician registered with the Department of Employment and Labour, so showing it on the quote reassures the customer you're doing the job properly, not just cheaply.
Yes. Dictate it like any job: 'Supply and install 3kVA inverter with 1x 5.1kWh battery, wired to essential circuits, R28,500. CoC for the installation, included.' Backup power has become one of the busiest categories for electricians, and a clear, itemised quote helps nervous customers commit to the spend.
For emergencies, dictate and send in 60 seconds from the van. For planned work, use templates with your standard rates for sockets, lights, and boards. Both work in the same tool.
Once the customer accepts on their phone, you send a PayShap payment request straight to their banking app, or they pay by EFT and send proof of payment. Cash still works too. There's no card checkout and no financing plan for South Africa, but PayShap requests are usually settled in minutes.
