While the cables within our homes are designed with safety in mind and installed to properly control electricity flow, we can’t always predict when power surges will occur. 

These surges not only damage TVs, computers, routers, and other expensive electrical appliances, but they can also leave your home without power. The best way to prevent this is by installing quality surge protection devices (SPDs) in your home and that’s where Service Experts can help.

Every SPD our electrical experts fit is quality-checked, built to last, and guaranteed to prevent excessive voltage from taking its toll on your appliances. Using state-of-the-art electrical tools and techniques, we’ll ensure that your safeguards are correctly installed and connected in the most beneficial locations to keep your home and family safe.

Electricity is one of the most powerful resources on the planet – why would you expose your family to risk unnecessarily?

Why Surge Protection Installation is Important

SPDs create a barrier between the incoming power supply and electrical devices within your home. This protects them from sudden surges, which occur when the supply is higher than 230V, by redirecting the power to a grounding wire that absorbs any excess voltage.

These devices are therefore a solid defence mechanism against surges triggered by anything from faulty wiring and small power fluctuations to fallen lines, electricity grid disturbances, or lightning storms.

Voltage surge suppressors and diverters stop currents exceeding safe levels, whether from internal or external sources. This overloads circuits and causes your devices to immediately shut down, while posing a significant fire risk too. They can also protect against minor power surges that often go unnoticed, yet slowly degrade devices over time, therefore extending the lifespan of your electrical goods.

Types of Home Surge Protectors

As skilled and equipped electricians, we offer a range of surge protection devices to suit your home’s unique needs. Here are the professional solutions we provide:

  • Whole House Surge Protector: A type 1 surge protector offers an affordable way to keep all electrical appliances and devices protected from power surges. This type is installed within your home’s main electrical panel.
  • External Surge Protector: Type 2 protectors are designed to defend devices from damage caused by external power surges, such as lightning strikes or fallen power lines. We’ll install the SPD by attaching it to the utility pole within the breaker. 
  • Strip Surge Protector: Type 3 strip surge protectors are portable, making them ideal for homes with multiple outlets that require safeguarding. They offer space to plug in a variety of devices, including printers, TVs, computers, and more.

To recommend the right SPD device, our experts will consider factors such as the number of power outlets and whether you need protection for one or multiple devices within your home.

We’ll take a look at the power requirements of the devices too; while most homes work with surge protectors rated between a few hundred and a few thousand joules, we may recommend higher joule ratings for those equipped with more high-powered equipment like computers.

As part of our tailored service, we can also recommend and install surge protectors with additional features such as data and phone line protection for extra peace of mind.

Toilet Repair FAQs

A surge protection device (SPD), or a surge suppressor, is a piece of equipment that protects your home’s electronic devices and appliances from unwanted power surges and spikes. Available for entire homes or single outlets, SPDs limit the voltage supplied by blocking or shorting excess current, before transferring it to power lines in the ground.

Surge protectors act as a buffer between high incoming currents and electrical devices within your home, ensuring they don’t sustain damage. These currents can trigger complete power outages and damage your appliances, which are expensive to repair. Power surges may also cause electrical fires. Surge protectors are therefore an essential safety measure for your home.

Surge protection devices are recommended for any electrical appliances or systems that would be expensive to replace. This includes televisions, computers, gaming systems, connected kitchen appliances, television lines, and more. SPDs are available for your entire home or in portable versions that can be moved between different power outlets.

Whole house surge protection devices should only be installed by a professional who has several years of experience in working with electricity. Improper installation or failure to follow safety precautions can put you at risk of electrocution or start a fire within your home.
