Surge protection installation in the Western Cape
Lightning, grid faults and the power coming back on after load-shedding can send voltage spikes through your wiring and damage TVs, routers, fridges, inverters and more. Surge protection fitted at the DB board is one of the cheapest ways to protect expensive equipment.

Surge Protection: your questions answered
Will surge protection stop all damage from a direct lightning strike?
No device can promise that. Surge protection greatly reduces the risk from most surges, but a direct strike can still cause damage.
Does surge protection need an earth connection?
Yes. Without a good earth connection the devices cannot divert the surge, so we check the earthing too.
Do I still need plug-in surge protectors?
They can add protection for sensitive equipment close to the device. Board-level protection comes first.
Is it worth it for a solar or inverter system?
Yes. Inverters and solar equipment are expensive and sensitive to surges, so protection is strongly recommended.
