Goodwood, Parow & Monte Vista

35+ AreasWhat Stellenberg Clients Say About MEM
Real experiences from residential and commercial clients across Stellenberg, Oakdale, Tyger Valley, and surrounding Northern Suburbs who trusted MEM for electrical repairs, DB board upgrades, load shedding solutions, and emergency call-outs.
"Our Stellenberg home was built in 1988 and still had the original fuse board — every time we ran two air conditioners simultaneously the fuses would blow. MEM replaced the entire board with a modern breaker panel, added a dedicated AC circuit for each unit, installed earth leakage protection throughout, and issued a COC. The house now runs everything without a single trip. Should have done this years ago."
"Our EV charger was tripping the DB board every time we tried to charge. MEM diagnosed a shared circuit issue on the first visit, installed a dedicated 32A cable run from the DB board to the garage, and the charger has worked perfectly since. Clean installation, COC issued, and they explained exactly what had been done wrong originally. Excellent professional service across to our Oakdale property."
"Called MEM at 9pm — power out at our Tyger Valley retail unit during a Saturday evening. Electrician arrived in under 30 minutes, diagnosed a failed main breaker and a loose DB board neutral link, had all parts on the vehicle, and restored power within the hour. Exceptional emergency response. Our go-to electrician for the entire Stellenberg and Tyger Valley area from now on."
"We needed a COC urgently for our Kenridge property sale. MEM quoted honestly, found non-compliant wiring on the pool pump circuit and an incorrectly rated ELCB, remedied both on the same day, and had the COC issued in time for transfer. The conveyancer accepted it without question and the sale went through on schedule. Professional, efficient, and highly recommended for any Stellenberg area property."
