RIGHT FIRST TIME
What Is a Power Surge and How Can It Damage Your Property?
A power surge is a sudden increase in voltage that travels through your electrical system.
Even small surges can weaken appliances over time. One strong surge can destroy electronics instantly.
Common Causes of Power Surges in Sydney
- Lightning strikes
- Power grid switching
- Faulty wiring
- Tripped circuit breakers
- High-powered appliance use
The Risks of Not Having Surge Protection Installed
- Irreversible appliance damage
- Fried circuit boards in computers and TVs
- Risk of fire from overloaded systems
- Expensive downtime for businesses
While there are several consumer-friendly surge protection options available for smaller residential appliances, electricity is a dangerous business when you start dealing with higher voltage equipment-especially in commercial and industrial settings. This also makes the potential cost of surge damage greater. Fox Electricians are experienced and qualified to take care of your electrical systems and will ensure the right surge protection is put in place to keep you and your equipment safe.
How Surge Protection Works to Keep Your Appliances Safe
Surge protectors work by detecting spikes in voltage and redirecting the excess electricity away from your devices.
We install surge protection at key points in your electrical system—before surges can cause any damage.
Types of Surge Protectors We Use
| Type | Installed At | Protection Level |
|---|---|---|
| Type 1 | Main switchboard | Lightning and major surges |
| Type 2 | Distribution boards | Internal system spikes |
| Type 3 | Wall outlets or power points | Appliance-level protection |
Whole Home Surge Protectors vs Power Boards
- Power boards protect single devices.
- Whole home systems protect your entire property.
- We recommend layered protection for full coverage.

After having other electricians try and solve my problem lights, Ali had it fixed first time, no fuss. He was on time, and had everything he needed to get the job done. I would recommend Fox Electricians to everyone!
Russell Jeffery
3am emergency call out on Christmas… absolute champion for getting the lights up. Will definitely be contacting him for any future needs!!
Fatima Bachir
Absolute legend. Had a fan trip the power in my apartment, tried my fuse box but still no power. Ali talked me through finding the mains fuses for the building and turning the power on. Awesome service and did all this for free, so definitely trustworthy which is a rare thing these days.
Once again, legend.
