PLEASE PLEASE STAY FAR AWAY!!!!
On Good Friday this year i called the company to fix a power outing. Max came out and work for less than 2 hours, He then charged me R28000 for unessarily doing over my whole DB board. Never gave me a quote. After the weekend I verified his prices of components used and to my utmost shock he grossly overcharged me with pricing of 5 to 10 times as much as the real cost. I also had to do payment immediately. When trying to contact him afterwards he put the phone down in my ear during discussion.So watch out for this unfair business practice especially if you are a layman or pensioner. This company has to be stopped with their ******* of fellow citizens!!!!!!

AMPS ELECTRICAL is not accredited to issue COC's
I had a bad experience with Max. He did some electrical work and issued me a COC which was a requirement as I sold my house. The transfer attorney then requested Max's accreditation First he took our calls but then he blocked our numbers. We have then written to ECA and Department of Labour to see if we can get Max's accreditation. But with no luck. We received the following feedback from ECA. So please be careful when you make use of AMPS Electrical, he is not accredited. It is important to clarify the distinction between the Electrical Contractors Association (ECA) and the Department of Employment and Labour (DoEL), as their roles differ. The ECA is a voluntary industry association , and electrical contractors choose whether or not to become members. Membership with the ECA is therefore not a legal requirement in order to operate as an electrical contractor or to issue a Certificate of Compliance (CoC). In contrast, the Department of Employment and Labour (DoEL) is the regulatory authority responsible for enforcing the Electrical Installation Regulations . In order to legally perform electrical installation work and issue Certificates of Compliance, a contractor must be registered with the DoEL as an electrical contractor and have a registered person (e.g. Installation Electrician, Master Installation Electrician, or Electrical Tester for Single Phase) employed by them. Our records indicate that the contractor who issued the CoC is no longer in good standing with the ECA . However, this does not necessarily mean that the contractor is no longer registered with the Department of Employment and Labour , as ECA membership and DoEL registration are separate. While the ECA is not in a position to formally deem a Certificate of Compliance valid or invalid, I have reviewed the document and noted a number of amendments, missing fields, and sections that appear to have been completed incorrectly . In my opinion, these issues would call the validity of the certificate into question and could potentially render the CoC invalid. Should you wish to confirm the contractor’s current registration status, this would need to be verified directly with the Department of Employment and Labour , as they maintain the official register of electrical contractors.

SHARK!!!!
Finally a review on this company!!!! back in on the 3rd of june 2024 - YES!! its been that long ago - I cant get over it!!! The guy (Mr. Max) seemed very helpful and knowledgeble , BUT what would have cost in components (R1160) and normal labour (even if it was R1200 for 30 minutes) landed up costing me a staggering R9'264.00!!! The guy literally made up the value of invoice as it came to mind. I still have the invoice and proof of payment to remind me of this shark!!! subsequently when i app**** for a COC electrical compliance certificate - hiw wiring was in error. steer clear from this guy!!

AMPS ELECTRICAL
I was charged R16,000.00 for a job that should've been no more than R7,000.00. This was confirmed by the SA Electrical Board and three other long standing electrical companies. Needless to say, it has been an absolute struggle to speak to the owner Max, since he did the job. I referred the matter to the SA Consumer Board; however, they encountered the same that the case had to be closed. My next step is the Ombudsman. DO NOT MAKE USE OF THIS COMPANY!!
