About Us

About Covcro

Covcro Electrical & Plumbing (Pvt) Ltd is a registered Zimbabwean contractor based in Marlborough, Harare. We install and maintain electrical systems, solar power, boreholes and plumbing for homes, businesses, farms and industry across the country.

Carrying all four trades in one company means the conduit, the pipework and the pump are planned together instead of by three contractors who have never met. One team, one programme, one point of contact.

Solar and Battery Backup

A properly designed system keeps your lights, fridge, Wi-Fi and pumps running when ZESA goes off, and cuts your bill on the days it stays on.

We size systems from your actual consumption rather than selling a fixed package, because a house running a borehole pump and two geysers needs a very different setup to one running lights and a TV.

  • Sized on your load. We check what you run and for how long before quoting.
  • Lithium batteries. More usable capacity and far longer life than lead acid.
  • Full protection fitted. Isolators, breakers and surge arrestors as standard.
  • Grid tied, hybrid or off-grid. Including solar borehole pumps and solar geysers.

Why Choose Covcro

One contractor, four trades

Electrical, plumbing, borehole and solar handled by one team on one programme. No waiting on a subcontractor who is busy on another site.

Itemised quotes

You get equipment, labour and exclusions in writing before we start. If the job needs more than you asked for, you hear about it first.

Protection fitted as standard

Isolators, surge protection, dry run protection and safety valves are part of the job, not an optional extra we leave off to win a quote.

Equipment we can service

We fit inverters, batteries and pumps we have installed before and can get parts for, so a repair in year three is not a replacement.

Tested and labelled

Circuits tested, boards labelled and systems commissioned, plus a walkthrough so you know how to operate your own installation.

We answer afterwards

The number you call for a quote is the same one that answers when something needs attention two years later.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which areas do you cover?

We are based in Marlborough and work across all of Harare, including Borrowdale, Mount Pleasant, Avondale, Greendale, Highlands, Glen Lorne, Belvedere, Waterfalls, Chitungwiza, Norton and Ruwa. For commercial, industrial and medium voltage contracts we travel countrywide.

How much does a solar system cost?

It depends on what you need to run and for how long. A backup system for lights, Wi-Fi, TV and a fridge costs far less than one that carries a borehole pump, geyser and air conditioning. We size every system from your actual usage, so we quote after a site visit. Site visits are free within Harare.

Do you install on-grid and off-grid solar?

Yes. We install grid tied and hybrid systems that work alongside your ZESA supply, and fully off-grid systems with lithium battery storage. All installations include the DC and AC protection, surge arrestors and isolators needed to keep the system safe and the warranty valid.

Can you work on 11kV and medium voltage lines?

Yes. We install and maintain 11kV and medium voltage overhead lines, transformer connections and site reticulation for farms, mines, industrial premises and new developments.

Can you do the electrical and the plumbing on one job?

Yes, and it is what most of our clients come to us for. Running the electrical, plumbing, borehole and solar through one contractor means the work is coordinated on site, and you deal with one team and one quote instead of three.

How soon can you come out for a fault?

Call or WhatsApp 077 227 5744 and we will tell you when we can get there. Jobs where a property has no power or no water, or where there is a safety risk, are treated as priority.
