With storm season right around the corner, it’s a good time to think about how well your home is protected from power surges.
Many people assume surges only happen during a direct lightning strike, but that’s not always the case. Everyday things like storms nearby, fallen power lines, or fluctuations from the electricity grid can all cause sudden voltage spikes to travel through your wiring. Those spikes can damage or shorten the life of your appliances in seconds.
We often see TVs, fridges, air conditioners, ovens, computers, NBN equipment and even hot water systems affected, and unfortunately the damage isn’t always obvious straight away. Sometimes appliances just stop working weeks or months later.
The good news is there’s a simple solution.
Whole-home surge protection, installed at your switchboard, acts like a shield for your entire property. It diverts excess voltage safely away before it reaches your circuits and appliances, helping protect everything in your home at once, not just what’s plugged into a power board.
It’s one of the most affordable preventative upgrades you can make, especially compared to the cost of replacing multiple appliances after one storm.
We recommend surge protection if you:
- haven’t installed it before
- have expensive electronics or smart home equipment
- work from home or rely on internet/NBN
- or want peace of mind during storm season
