This company is nothing more than a fly by night dishonest company, who for the past one and half years has still not finished the job that they were paid to do. Hlox quoted us a price we accepted then we paid them up-front to do solar. When we checked the solar at first it was not working they removed the battery. We had to fight for a few months for them to bring it back and finish the installation. When they brought the battery back after numerous fights and lawyers letters we then checked the solar when loadshedding kicked in and realized that half the house was not done. They promised to come back but they disappeared. We have tried to contact them by every means, they ignore calls and do not answer any form of communication They also messed up the main electrical board and we had to call in other electricians to fix the board up only. Now we are left with a problem that when there is load shedding my kitchen and staff rooms do not work on solar. In honesty we should NEVER have paid them upfront for the work, and we should have checked Hellopeter for reviews. They are shoddy in every way.

Hlox is a complete scam artist & this company is not professional. They installed a mess of a solar power system that I had to remove as it didn’t work. I had another company install a new one (that is perfect).

I cannot complain about service BECAUSE there is NO service. Today, 2021/04/15. A COC was issued during the Lockdown and the Electrical Contractor claim that the COC is valid and nothing wrong with the installations. He claim to be a MIE. I had to get the DOL appointed AIA involved due to the arrogance and refusal of the electrical contractor to come to the party. As per the DOL AIA: This AIA was instructed to investigate a certificate of compliance issued by you, Hlox Electrical, at the above premises. It has been determined by this AIA that your COC is not valid and we have attached herewith documentation which is self-explanatory As proof, the Electrical installation including the Units, do NOT comply to SANS 10142-1. The contractor is not a member of the ECB (in Gauteng) and do not rectify the errors even with the supplied list of Clauses that I sent to him and demanded that the errors need to be corrected, but with no cooperation from him since 2021/02/12. It seems that my only available recourse is legal action. Back ground: - There are 3 domestic units on the premises in Weltevredenpark, Roodepoort. - The House was a standalone single residential dwelling. - Building contractor “Maseko” contracted the Electrical Contractor, Hlox Electrical, to action the electrical work as part of Maseko’s scope. The new configuration (reticulation) consist of: - COJ supply to “Main DB” (accommodating “Common area” supply and include 3(three) power Meters for the residential Units - Unit 1 (called “Sub-DB U1” new supplied), Unit 2 (called “Sub-DB U2” Modification and alterations) o In both units, alterations and modification to existing installation was constructed/implemented. o New installation with new DB Supplied, now called “Sub-DB U3Unit 3 was previously known as “Garage”, basically reconstructed 90%.
