Why install home surge protection?
Power surges can come from storms, faults in the street, solar systems, large appliances starting up or issues in the network. These sudden spikes in voltage can damage sensitive electronics, shorten the life of appliances and in some cases cause overheating and fire.
Whole home surge protection helps divert excess voltage away from your wiring and equipment, so your home is better protected when surges occur.

The whole experience was fantastic, with a great team of people arriving, on time, to complete a long list of items around my home. Everyone was polite & ensured that things were as I wanted, with ongoing confirmation regarding anything that needed clarification. Everything was left clean & tidy, with new appliances all checked & demonstrated.
I highly recommend using Elite Trades Australia & will happily engage them if I have future requirements.

Alex and Arian replaced my old heat pump with a new system in less than two hours while the wind speed was 70km/h and they didn’t complain. They took all the rubbish. The job was completed with a neat and clean finish. They were very professional and well mannered and I was asked how I preferred the wiring to be, they even drained the old system’s water outside the property. they didn’t mess up my property they used the old screw holes and couldn’t tell that the system was replaced that’s how good the final result was. I am very happy and will use them again.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is home surge protection and how does it work?
- Home surge protection uses devices that are installed at your switchboard. When a power surge occurs they divert excess voltage safely to earth, which helps reduce the amount of energy that reaches your wiring and appliances.
Do I still need surge protection if I use surge power boards?
- Surge power boards offer some protection for whatever is plugged into that board, but they do not cover the rest of the home and many are low rated. A switchboard mounted surge device acts at the main point of supply and protects all connected circuits, which gives a higher level of protection across the whole house.
Will surge protection stop damage from lightning?
- No device can guarantee protection from a direct lightning strike, but correctly installed surge protection can help reduce the impact of nearby lightning and other common surges on your wiring and equipment.
Where is surge protection installed?
- Most home surge protection is installed at the main switchboard so it can protect all downstream circuits. In some cases additional devices may be installed at sub boards or near sensitive equipment.
What is involved in installing surge protection?
- We isolate the power, inspect your switchboard and select suitable locations for the surge devices. We then install and wire the devices, restore power and carry out tests to confirm everything is operating correctly. Once complete, we explain how the protection works and what maintenance or checks are recommended.
