Electrical on Bidly — frequently asked questions
Do Bidly electricians issue Certificates of Compliance (COCs)?
Many electricians on Bidly are registered with the Department of Labour and can issue a valid COC. When you post your job, mention COC explicitly and bidders will confirm registration before quoting.
How do I get a quote for solar installation?
Post a project under Electrical, describe the system size (kW) and battery requirements, and solar installers in your area will bid competitively.
Are emergency electrical call-outs available?
Yes — set the start date to today and electricians monitoring Bidly in your area will respond. Most jobs see same-day bids.
Can I get just a fault-finding job done?
Yes. Use the hourly rate type for fault-finding so the bid covers diagnostic time, then handle the actual repair as a follow-up if needed.
How much does it cost to rewire a house in South Africa?
A full house rewire typically ranges between R45,000 and R120,000 depending on size and finish quality. Bidly competitive bids tend to land below traditional quote averages.
