Energy Assessment in Alberton: Find Out Where Your Power Is Going
Wondering why your electricity bill keeps climbing? An energy assessment from Lectricnmore shows you exactly where the power goes in your home or business, and what to do about it. We serve Alberton and the wider Ekurhuleni and Johannesburg area.
What an energy assessment includes
- Property walk-through – we look at the main power users: geysers, pool pumps, heating and cooling, lighting, kitchen and office equipment, and machinery.
- Distribution board and load survey – we check how the circuits are laid out and what each one feeds.
- Load profile – using your bills and, where possible, metering data, we build a picture of when you use power during the day and night.
- Bill and tariff review – we look at your tariff, fixed charges and usage patterns to find savings.
- Solar and backup readiness – if you are considering solar, batteries or an inverter, we work out what size system your load actually needs.
- Clear, prioritised recommendations – quick wins first, bigger investments second, explained in plain language.
Who it is for
- Homeowners with high or rising electricity bills
- Small businesses, offices and workshops
- Anyone planning solar or backup power who wants to size it correctly
- Landlords and facility managers looking after several units or buildings
How it works
- Book a visit – tell us about the property and send a few recent electricity bills.
- Site assessment – we walk through the property and survey the distribution board and main loads.
- Analysis – we combine what we found on site with your bills and usage data.
- Report and walk-through – you get clear recommendations and we explain them to you.
- Next steps – you decide what to do first, with a realistic idea of the cost and the saving.
Common savings we uncover
- Geysers – often the single biggest user in a home. Read how your geyser burns 40% of your power bill.
- Pool pumps running longer than needed.
- Standby and always-on loads that quietly add up.
- Lighting that can be switched to LED.
- Peak-time usage on time-of-use tariffs that can be moved to cheaper hours.
- Oversized or undersized solar – see our guide to load profiles for solar energy optimisation.
Independent advice you can trust
Our assessment is an advisory service. We do not sell panels or appliances, so the advice is based on what will actually save you money. It is backed by more than 20 years of electrical and technical experience and a working knowledge of SANS 10142-1. For more on national energy-efficiency programmes, visit SANEDI.

Energy assessment FAQs
What does an energy assessment cost?
It depends on the size of the property and how much detail you need. We give you a clear quote before we start.
How long does it take?
It depends on the size of the property. Most homes and small businesses can be assessed in a single site visit, followed by your written recommendations.
Do I need to be there?
Yes, or someone who can give us access to the distribution board, geyser and main appliances, and answer a few questions about how the property is used.
Will it tell me what size solar system I need?
Yes. Sizing solar, batteries and inverters to your actual load is one of the main reasons people book with us. It helps you avoid paying for a system that is too big or too small.
Do you sell equipment?
No. Our service is advisory, so the recommendations are based on what will save you money, not on what we want to sell.
Is an energy assessment the same as a Certificate of Compliance?
No. A Certificate of Compliance confirms that an installation meets SANS 10142-1. Our assessment looks at how much power you use, when you use it, and how to reduce your costs.
Which areas do you cover?
We are based in Alberton and work across the City of Ekurhuleni and the City of Johannesburg.
