Power surges can strike at any time, especially during storms or power grid fluctuations. At Maxxvolt Electrical, we provide reliable surge protection services across Sydney to keep your home or business safe from electrical damage. Our installations are quick, compliant, and tailored to suit your setup.
Why Surge Protection Matters
A sudden surge in voltage can fry your appliances in seconds. Whether it’s caused by lightning, faulty wiring, or a switchboard issue, the consequences can be costly—damaged electronics, reduced appliance lifespan, or even electrical fires.
Investing in surge protection can:
- Prevent damage to devices like TVs, fridges, and computers
- Protect expensive office or medical equipment
- Extend the life of your appliances
- Reduce downtime and frustration
Whole-Home Surge Protection Installation
Power boards with surge protection are handy, but they only go so far. To truly protect your property, we recommend surge protection installed at the switchboard. This type of protection covers every circuit in your home or commercial premises—whether it’s plugged in or hardwired.
Our licensed electricians install high-quality surge protection devices directly into your electrical system, providing you with whole-home or whole-business coverage.
Surge Protection for Homes and Businesses
Every building that relies on electricity can benefit from surge protection. We work with both residential and commercial clients to design solutions that match their unique electrical load and risk level.
Some of the most common installations we handle include:
- Homes with solar panels or EV chargers
- Offices with servers or network systems
- Shops, restaurants, and clinics with sensitive equipment
- Industrial properties with high-powered tools or machinery
When to Install Surge Protection
You don’t need to wait for a power surge to take action. Consider surge protection if:
- You’ve installed expensive appliances or electronics
- You’ve experienced frequent power outages or tripping
- Your property has solar or battery systems
- You want peace of mind during storm season
Our team will assess your switchboard and recommend the right level of protection for your needs.
FAQs
What causes a power surge?
Surges are usually caused by lightning strikes, power grid issues, faulty wiring, or large appliances switching on and off. Even solar systems can sometimes contribute to surges.
Does surge protection stop lightning damage?
No system can stop a direct lightning strike completely, but surge protection can significantly reduce the risk and limit the damage to your property.
Is surge protection worth the investment?
Yes. For a relatively low cost, it protects your appliances and wiring from damage that could cost thousands to repair or replace.
Can I install surge protection myself?
No. Surge protection at the switchboard level must be installed by a licensed electrician to ensure it complies with safety regulations.
