Why hire electrical pros through Kuvo
Bad wiring is one of the biggest silent risks in Zimbabwean homes — old aluminium cabling, undersized DB boards, unbonded earth systems and DIY inverter hookups cause hundreds of fires each year. Kuvo's electrical category exists to make hiring a properly qualified electrician as easy as ordering airtime.
Every Kuvo electrician is licensed to issue Certificates of Compliance — the document your buyer, insurer or council will ask for. They carry public-liability insurance and back their workmanship for 12 months. On any job over USD 200, ask for the COC — reputable pros include it as standard, cowboys never do.
With load-shedding here to stay, the number one job we see is safe inverter integration. Done right, your inverter powers essential loads seamlessly and isolates from ZESA when the grid is off (mandatory anti-islanding). Done wrong, it burns out appliances and can kill line workers. Kuvo installers get this right, every time.

Buying guide: hiring electrical in Zimbabwe
Four rules of thumb for hiring well on Kuvo. Applied together, these will save you time, money and headaches.
Always demand a COC
No COC = no legal install. It's the single most important document from your electrician.
Upgrade the DB, not the fuse
If you keep tripping, the answer is a bigger DB with modern MCBs — never a fatter fuse wire.
Insist on RCDs everywhere
Bathrooms, kitchens, outdoor sockets and pool areas legally require Residual Current Devices. Verify they're installed.
Label the DB clearly
A proper electrician labels every breaker. Saves lives in an emergency and simplifies future work.
