Many thanks to The Local Electrician team who were all courteous, considerate and competent sparkies. Working in teams of two over 3 consecutive days they solved problems, installed new meters and re-cabled much of our double storey, double brick home in Earlwood. Built in 1939 it provided challenges but the team remained unfazed and got the job done with a smile and pats for our dogs. Special thanks to Dylan, Nick, John and Justin for leading the way. A truely admirable corporate culture and really nice blokes all round. Highly recommended!

My mother had no power throughout half her house last week and was in need of an electrician. She called the local electrician, and Dylan came out and found the fault within minutes, leaving my mother very pleased. They pointed out some safety issues at the switchboard and even asked to call a family member to discuss the findings and walk through some suggested solutions. My mother hasn't been doing too well lately, and I really appreciate that they called me to discuss the options. After the discussion, we came to a conclusion, and the team was out there the next day to rectify the issues. I really appreciate that they called before proceeding with the works. My mother is very happy with the work and will use them from now on. Based on my experience, I will also be enquiring about future work at my house. Much appreciated to the local electrician team!

Experienced, professional surge protector electricians

Have you ever been warned about lightning in a weather forecast? Lightning strikes can literally be billions of volts. Without adequate surge protection, power surges from lightning can damage or destroy computers, security systems and telephones (not to mention trees, houses and lives).

Most service entrance surge protection devices are generally handled by the upstream protection from the actual electrical grid. However, if you have an investment in electronics or critical digital storage onsite, surge protection is vital.

We can install surge protection devices and an uninterruptable power supply (UPS) in any setting. Please call us today for a quote or more information.

Why choose The Local Electrician for surge protector installation and repair

When you’re looking for a company to help with your surge protection device installation, you want the best. At The Local Electrician, we offer the highest quality surge protection services in Sydney. Here’s why:

Licensed & Insured Electricians

We are fully licensed and insured, so you can rest assured that we have the necessary credentials to handle any job. Our team of electricians are highly trained experts who are always on call to help with any electrical problem you might have.

On-time Electrician Or It's Free!

We go out of our way to ensure that we provide our customers with the promptest service. If we miss your appointment or don't arrive on time, your surge protection service is on us!

Same Day Services

TLE offers same-day service, so if your home or business is experiencing an electrical problem, you can count on us to fix it fast. We know how important it is to keep your home or business running smoothly, so we make sure that when you need us, we're there!

Free Safety Inspection

Our unique surge protection service includes reporting and confirming any other electrical issues that may occur. We’ll be testing your surge protection devices and ensure your property is safe from lightning strikes, surges and power spikes that can damage your home appliances and furniture.

5 Year Warranty On All Materials

Besides the fact that we use only the best German-made hardware, we offer a 5-year warranty on materials, so you can be confident that your system will be reliable for years to come.

Types of home surge protection devices

There are a variety of home surge protectors on the market, and they all serve slightly different purposes. Here are the most popular types:

Whole-house surge protection — This surge protector is installed at the main electrical panel and protects your home’s electrical equipment from surges and spikes. It’s an inexpensive way to ensure that all of your appliances are protected from damage caused by power surges or lightning strikes.
External surge protection — This prevents 80% of all external power surges, such as lightning strikes, corporate power outages, or maintenance challenges. The external protector is attached to the utility pole in the breaker, safeguarding your home against external power spikes.
Strip surge protection — The strip surge protector is a type of portable surge protector that you can move from one outlet to another depending on where it is needed most. This type of surge protector comes with several outlets for plugging in devices such as computers, televisions, printers and more.

If you need to repair or install your surge protection devices, The Local Electricians can help! Give us a call today!

Surge protector installation and repair

Although some electrical repairs can be quick, the best path still is to prevent potential issues in the first place. Our team can install surge protection devices in your home or business. You can now decide to have a reliable surge protector on your premises.

Aside from lightning strikes, power surges can also be caused by power grid switching (done by utilities) and when refrigerators and air conditioners turn on and off. The energy spikes can damage the wires and the electronics connected to those outlets. Again, these scenarios can be out of your control. The good thing is you can still prepare for them by having a reliable surge protector.

We’re just one call away!

It’s never a good idea to delay a surge protection device installation because electrical surges are unpredictable and can damage your appliances anytime. If you contact us today, we can send an electrician to your site immediately upon request.

Trust TLE can repair or install your surge protection device! Contact us today if you have any questions about our surge protection services. If it’s your first service with us, we’ll give you 15% off!

What causes a surge?

Electrical surges are often caused by lightning strikes but more commonly by appliances drawing out too much energy. When an appliance, such as a portable air conditioner or washing machine, is connected to a power point, it may need a large amount of electricity. If the outlets are old or damaged, there is faulty wiring, or too much power’s being used, a surge may occur.

How long do surge protectors last?

An electrical surge protector will diminish every time it protects an appliance from an electrical surge. This is why there is no general lifetime of a surge protector. Most will last three to five years, but replacing them every two years is recommended. Surge protectors might continue to work as additional outlets but not protect devices if they work for too long.

We strongly recommend reading our blog for more details to know more about what surge protection is and why it is essential.
