Customer reviews

What customers say.

4.9
Based on 214 reviews (sample figure for this concept)
“Our DB kept tripping whenever the geyser and oven ran together. Northstar found the problem in 20 minutes, gave a fixed price and fitted a new board the next day. The CoC was in my inbox by Friday.”
Thandi M.Bryanston · DB board upgrade
“Arrived exactly when they said, wore shoe covers and cleaned up afterwards. They explained everything without making us feel stupid. Generator changeover works perfectly.”
Pieter & Marlene J.Centurion · Generator installation
“We needed after-hours work so the office could keep running. No disruption at all, and every invoice matched the quote. We’ve used them three times now.”
Kagiso N.Midrand · Office manager
“Lost power on a Sunday night. I called, and an electrician was at my door within the hour. He found a burnt neutral in the DB and fixed it that same night.”
Sarah W.Fourways · Emergency call-out
“The sale of our house depended on the CoC. They inspected, fixed three faults and had the certificate ready in two days. Stress-free.”
Imran P.Benoni · Compliance certificate
“Downlights and outdoor lighting. They marked out the positions with us first, so nothing was a surprise. Beautiful, neat finish.”
Lerato D.Sandton · Lighting
