Compliance is Not a Choice—It’s Your Property’s Safety Guarantee

If you own, buy, or sell property in Johannesburg, the term Certificate of Compliance (COC) is critical. A COC is a legal document confirming that the electrical installation on a property is safe and adheres to the legislated national standards. Trivolt provides this essential service, ensuring your property is safe, efficient, and fully compliant.

Electrical COC: What Our Experts Check

A valid Electrical COC is mandatory for any property transfer. Our registered electricians conduct a thorough safety audit that includes:

• Distribution Board (DB): Checking all breakers, labelling, and surge protection devices.
• Wiring Integrity: Ensuring wiring is correctly insulated, rated for the load, and undamaged.
• Earthing and Bonding: Testing that all metal pipes and fixtures are correctly earthed to prevent electrocution.
• Functionality: Confirming all sockets, switches, and lights work correctly and safely.

Warning: Any DIY electrical work done by an unqualified person will immediately render your current COC invalid. Always use a licensed professional.

Plumbing Compliance: Why It Matters (Even Without a Legal COC)

While plumbing does not require a single, unified COC for property transfer in the same way as electrical work, its compliance is vital for safety, efficiency, and insurance.

Our comprehensive plumbing inspections ensure:

1. Geyser Safety: Proper installation of the geyser, including the correct pressure control valve (PCV) and drip tray, according to SANS 10254 standards. Non-compliant geyser installations may void your insurance in the event of a burst.
2. Water Flow: Efficient, non-leaking pipes and fixtures.
3. Drainage: Correctly installed and maintained drainage and sewer lines.

When You Need a New Certificate of Compliance

An Electrical COC is required when:

• Selling a Property: The seller must provide a valid COC (no older than two years).
• Major Electrical Work: After any structural changes, installing a new distribution board, or adding a major appliance like a generator or inverter.
