Backup systems & services in Johannesburg: local notes
In Melville, Westdene and Linden many houses still have an old DB board with a mix of fuses and breakers, so an installer may quote a board upgrade alongside the inverter. Ask for the essential circuit to be split out properly and labelled. Workshops in Booysens, Selby and City Deep handle inverter repairs and bench tests for homes and for small firms in the inner city around Commissioner Street and Marshalltown.
Backing up in Johannesburg
Most of Johannesburg is supplied by City Power, while Eskom supplies parts of Soweto and a few outlying areas directly, so households a few streets apart can live with quite different outage patterns. Cable theft in the south and along rail lines, ageing underground cables in the inner city and overloaded local substations cause many of the longer interruptions, and Highveld summer storms add their share. In Melville, Parkhurst and Kensington, owners of older houses usually want an inverter and lithium battery for the lights, wifi, fridge and gate. Tenants in Braamfontein and Berea lean on router UPS units and power stations instead. Old wiring is common, so expect an electrician to look at the DB board before quoting.
Typical inverter and battery packages requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a 5 kVA inverter with 5 or 10 kWh of lithium battery for the essentials
- Offices and home offices: a packaged inverter and battery for a small practice's computers, network and lights
- Shops, restaurants and salons: one package per shop for tills, card machines, lights and the display fridge
