Excellent service and communication from Ignatius and his team. They are honest and reliable and will go out of their way to help, no matter the type of job, whether large, as pictured here, at the factory premises, or on a Sunday evening when the power tripped at our house. I will not hesitate to recommended Open Circuit for any electrical job required. Thank your Ignatius.

I received excellent service from Open Circuit Electrical. His team installed and provided me with a new ceiling fan/light in my lounge. I applaud the conduct of his team and work ethic. I have been battling with 2 other electrical companies, but contacted Ignatius and I cannot express enough recommendation for Open Circuit Electrical . He is polite and very professional, if you need any electrical work done, look no further. Many thanks again!

Did a fantastic job for us, very professional service. Was impressed by communication, quality materials, and prompt invoicing which was appreciated. Delivered a good compliant solar system, and repaired our home to bring it all up to compliance. Will highly recommend for ceiling fans, solar systems, inverters and certificates of compliance. So glad to have found a trustworthy electrical contractor and solar installer.
