Terms of Use

Last updated: 6 October 2026

1. Who we are

ElectricianFinder (electricianfinder.co.za) is run by Adriaan Bester, a sole proprietor in Cape Town, South Africa. By using this site you accept these terms. If you do not, please do not use it.

2. What the site is

ElectricianFinder is a free directory of electricians in South Africa. Listings come from the ECA(SA) register and from public sources such as Google Maps and the businesses' own websites.

You contact a business directly, by WhatsApp, phone or email. We do not pass on requests or sit between you.
It costs you nothing. We do not charge you, take payment for any work, or take a share of it.
Any agreement about a job is between you and the business. We are not a party to it, and we do not employ, recommend or supervise any business listed.

3. Check before you hire

Each listing shows the business's ECA(SA) status as it was when we last read the register. Registrations lapse and registers change, and we cannot guarantee that a listing is accurate or current. Before you hire anyone, and always before work that needs a certificate of compliance, confirm their registration on the official register and get a written quote.

Our certificate and registration guides are general information, not legal advice.

4. Businesses listed on the site

A listing is free. Being listed does not mean we endorse you or that you endorse us.
You can ask us to correct, update or remove your listing on the List your business page or by email (section 9).
Featuring a listing is optional and paid. It changes where a listing appears, never what it says about registration.

Featuring

Only a business with a current ECA(SA) registration can be featured. We check the register before we ask for any payment.
It costs R300 a month, paid upfront by EFT for 1, 3 or 12 months. We send the bank details and your own payment reference in our reply; they are not published on the site.
We feature your listing within one working day of the payment showing in our account, until the end date we confirm to you. Paying early for another period adds it to the end of the current one.
It does not renew by itself and there is no debit order. We remind you about a week before it ends; if you don't pay again, your listing simply returns to the free listings.
If we cannot feature you (for example, the register shows no current registration), we refund you in full. If your registration lapses while you are featured, featuring stops and we refund the unused whole months. You can stop featuring at any time; we refund the unused whole months.

5. Using the site

You agree not to:

copy, scrape or harvest listings in bulk, or use the contact details on this site for unsolicited marketing
give us false information, or pretend to be a business or person you are not
interfere with the site, its security or other people's use of it
use the site for anything unlawful

6. Liability

The site is provided as it is, free of charge. As far as the law allows, we are not liable for work done or not done by a listed business, for what a business charges, or for any loss that comes from relying on information on this site. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under the Consumer Protection Act that cannot be limited.

7. Other sites

Links to WhatsApp, business websites, the ECA(SA) register and other sites take you off ElectricianFinder. We are not responsible for their content or how they handle your information.

8. Our content

The site's design, text and code are ours. Register information belongs to its sources. You may link to any page on this site.

9. Contact and complaints

Email support@electricianfinder.co.za or phone +27 81 644 5525. For how we handle personal information, see our Privacy Policy.

10. Changes and law

We may change these terms. The date at the top shows when they last changed, and using the site after a change means you accept it. These terms are governed by South African law.
