Frequently asked questions

Since 2008 — we were originally known as Franto Energy, founded at the height of South Africa’s energy crisis to deliver cutting-edge energy-saving solutions. Eighteen-plus years on, that same focus on energy efficiency still underpins everything we do, even as we’ve grown into a full-service electrical contractor.

We work all over South Africa — our day-to-day is concentrated in Gauteng, where we’re based in Germiston. That includes multiple Ultra Liquors sites, where we’re the preferred electrical contractor, and Chargify EV charging installations at sites in multiple provinces — get in touch with your location and we’ll confirm availability.

Both. Alongside new installations, we offer fully tailored electrical maintenance programmes suited to your business, plus energy log meter installation for ongoing consumption monitoring and certified, environmentally responsible disposal of old fittings and light bulbs.
