It just sits there and does nothing... Or so it seems.
Ever wondered why your electrical appliances have given up so soon, your battery hasn't lasted long on your phone, or your LED bulbs keep on breaking? This may be because you don't have surge protection fitted at your property.
Surge protection absorbs dangerously high voltages that enter your property, this could be from nearby lighting strokes, faults on the incoming power supply, transformer switching, the list goes on and on.
Your property may be more at risk depending on the surround area. If you are close to an industrial estate where large industrial machinery is being used, or railway lines your property could be more at risk than others
Now that 99% of plugged-in equipment has electronics built into it, surge protection has never been more relevant.
Surge protection comes in all shapes and sizes. It can be installed as a stand-alone unit or integrated into your existing consumer unit. Different Types are also available which protect against lighting strikes and other potential issues.
