Looking to have a surge protector installed? Maybe you need a current one replaced? Metropolitan Electrical Contractors can help. You will love our wealth of experience, outstanding service and flexible payment options.
Power surges can damage expensive and sensitive electronics in your home, especially TVs and computers. Overvoltages can cause irreversible damage to your cherished appliances. When this occurs, all you can do is replace the damaged electronics and count your losses.
A surge protector or surge suppressor protects equipment from power surges. This means you won’t need to face the costs that come with replacing those big-ticket items. It’s a sort of electronic insurance.
Broadly speaking there are 3 types of surge protectors.
Portable – These are power boards that include a surge protection device. They protect any appliances plugged into them.
Powerpoint – Powerpoint surge protectors have to be installed by a licensed electrician. They replace standard powerpoints to provide specific protection for home offices or living rooms or anywhere there are expensive electronics.
Main switchboard – The best option is a surge protector that is installed in your main switchboard. Again, this must be done by a licensed electrician. Some of these sorts of surge protectors have components that you can replace without having to disconnect the power. They have an indicator that shows when overload has happened, and you need to install a new module. If the spent modules are left there, the power will still work, but devices will not be protected from damage if there is another surge.
At Metropolitan Electrical Contractors, we can install a surge protector in your switchboard so you can rest knowing it will protect your network. We install protection for 3 pole or 1 pole power.
Professional installation is a must. Here at Metropolitan, we have a team of highly skilled registered electricians who know what the best solution is for your circumstances. Once installed, you can rest easy knowing that your surge protector is going to keep everything safe. With 25 years of experience, we will also ensure there is minimal disruption with the installation. Our products and work will meet Australian standards as well.
We operate 24/7 for your convenience. Further, we can even get to your door within an hour* of your call! This means you never have to wait too long for exceptional electrical services, including surge protective devices.
If you know you need surge protection but just can’t find the money right this minute, don’t worry. You can protect your precious electronics by taking advantage of our interest free** payment plans.
Just choose a payment plan with one of our providers – Zip or Humm. You have the flexibility of weekly, fortnightly or monthly instalments. Some plans even accept a $0 deposit, so you pay nothing upfront.
Your electrician can take you through the easy application process on site and approval usually takes only a few minutes.
We also accept payment by cash, cheque and credit card (Visa, Mastercard or American Express). Contact us today for more information.
Surge arrestors work by preventing excessive voltage reaching appliances by redirecting the excess to earth. The normal current to the device is uninterrupted and the damaging surge is deflected to the ground. Simply put, they offer surge protection to your home and electrical appliances!
They are not designed to protect from direct lightning strikes. They protect from voltage surges.
The best type of surge protector for you depends on where you live and how prone you are to damaging power surges. City apartments are less susceptible than isolated houses, so a power board surge protector is adequate for them, whereas a surge protector in the switchboard is more suited to the country.
Surge protectors are not expensive, and they do what they are designed to do – protect your valuable computers and TVs. If you don’t want to risk losing precious gear, then you need a surge protector. As they say, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
