Why Surge Protection Matters
Power surges can damage or destroy electronics in a fraction of a second. Lightning strikes, grid fluctuations, and even large appliances switching on can cause voltage spikes. Without surge protection, these can burn out circuit boards, reduce the lifespan of your equipment, or lead to costly replacements. Installing surge protection helps safeguard your investment and ensures your home’s electrical system remains safe and reliable. It’s a simple, cost-effective way to prevent major damage and keep your household running smoothly.
Frequently Asked Questions About Home Surge Protection Installation
What is a surge protector and how does it work?
A surge protector limits excess voltage from entering your home’s wiring during a power spike, safely diverting it to the earth instead.
Do I really need surge protection?
Yes. Modern homes are full of sensitive electronics — even small surges can slowly degrade devices over time. A surge protector is affordable insurance against electrical damage.
Where is the surge protector installed?
We install the main surge protection device at your switchboard for whole-home coverage. We can also add plug-in protectors for extra-sensitive equipment.
Can surge protectors prevent damage from lightning?
They can significantly reduce the risk, but no system can completely stop a direct strike. Our devices protect against most surge events related to lightning activity and power fluctuations.
Do surge protectors need maintenance or replacement?
Yes — they can wear out after large surges. We recommend checking them during switchboard servicing or every few years to ensure continued protection.
Can surge protection be added to older homes?
Absolutely. We can retrofit surge protection to most existing switchboards with minimal disruption.
