So, homeowners of Melbourne, you’ve come here because you’re wondering whether surge protection is really needed for your Melbourne home. Is is a good investment? Or is it just a ‘nice to have’ but pretty low on the priorities list?
Well, let’s break it down for you in plain and simple terms!
Surge protection might not always be top of mind, but it is something that can save you a LOT of heartache and hassle.
What is a “surge” anyway?
Electricity is constantly flowing through the power lines and into your home. In the event of a lightning storm or a power fluctuation from the grid, that electricity can ‘surge’. Imagine a sudden burst of electricity that forces its way along the power lines and into your home’s electrical system.
Why does surge protection matter?
If that ‘surge’ of electricity crashed into your home, that excess voltage can cause all sorts of issues.
Picture this: You’ve got a 65” Smart TV and surround sound speakers plugged in in the living room, your weekly shop has just been piled into your fridge and your desktop computer is whirring away with your kid’s Year 12 essay half completed.
Then, without warning, a surge hits! Just like that your TV, speakers, fridge and VCE student’s nerves are completely frazzled. That’s not a recipe for a relaxing weekend!
Surge protection acts like a shield. It’s designed to halt the excess voltage that occurs during a surge so that it doesn’t get through into your home’s electrical system and wreak havoc on your electronics.
Without a surge protection device in your switchboard, an electrical power surge can cause all sorts of costly and inconvenient damage.
Protecting Your Melbourne Home
We all know that talking about the weather is one of our go-to small talk topics in Melbourne. It’s so unpredictable! And that unpredictability means that we never really know when these surges might happen.
Think about all the electronic devices and appliances that you’ve got plugged in at home. The amount of power that Melbourne homes use has increased dramatically over the last few decades as we’ve become more connected than ever before. But that also means our homes are more vulnerable to power surges.
Surge protection isn't just a luxury; it's a smart move to safeguard your belongings. It's like having an insurance policy for your electronics and appliances.
