Protect Your home With The Experts in Surge Protection Installation

Power surges can cost you tens of thousands of dollars, and are often not covered by home insurance.

When installed by a licensed electrician, surge protection can safeguard:

  • Kitchen appliances
  • EV chargers

Comprehensive Surge Protection Services to Protect Your Home Inside & Out

Like there’s many causes of power surges — like lightning strikes, spikes when power is turned on after a blackout and overloaded circuits — there are different types of surge protection devices to protect your home in different ways. At All Access Electrical, we can help you with all types of surge protection services so you’re covered inside and out from all types of surges.

N

Coarse Protection

Type 1 surge protection, or coarse protection, defends your electrical system from high-energy overloads, like lightning strikes. It short circuits the excess power, preventing it from damaging your electrical system and appliances.

N

Fine Protection

There’s also type 3, or fine, surge protection, which acts as a final defense for sensitive electronics, like computers, TVs, kitchen appliances, solar inverters, EV chargers, internet devices and home automation, saving you from having to replace them.

N

Advanced Protection

An advanced surge protection solution uses a tiered approach of multiple types of surge protectors to give homes in high-risk areas the best defense against power surges. Contact us today to find the right type of surge protectors for your home.

Level Up Your Surge Protection With a Failure Alarm

It’s important your surge protection not only protects the right parts of your home, but can handle massive surges too. This is why we use sacrificial cartridges that offer cost-effective and highly reliable solutions for homes of all sizes. These cartridges need replacing once depleted, which is where failure alarms can help you know when it’s time. While failure alarms are optional, they make it clear when your cartridges are depleted and we need to come back to replace them. Contact us today to make sure your home isn’t just covered, it stays covered too.

SERVICE PERFORMANCE

Mark arrived to evaluate my ageing air conditioner unit. Mark explained the costs and options and I agreed for him to continue. Marks diagnosis identified a leak and recommended replacement as repair would offer limited warranty with the worry of future failure. I agreed and we agreed on a price with a deposit up front. Installation will be in a week or so. Mark asked if I had any other electrical concerns? I said I had been considering upgrading to compliant smoke alarms. Mark offered he had time and got to work installing and testing the new units. Mark was excellent to deal with, I am very happy with the result.

All Access Electrical did a great job for me. They contacted me regarding the time to expect the electrician and he was on time. Patrick who did the installation was so very polite and professional. He worked hard and advised me where my alarms weren’t compliant and fixed the problem. I don’t often write reviews but a great job with a friendly tradesman needs to be applauded. Highly recommend.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I can't recommend All Access Electrical highly enough.After an emergency situation, I contacted them around 9pm the night before. They immediately rearranged their schedule and moved jobs around to make sure they were on-site at 7:30am the next morning to assess the situation, come up with a game plan, and get straight to work.The two lads who attended were professional, respectful, genuine and easy to deal with from start to finish. They took the time to explain everything clearly and worked with us to find a practical solution that suited our budget.We couldn't afford the upgraded option that was originally suggested, but instead of pushing us into something we couldn't afford, they found a safe and cost-effective way to get everything back up and running. Their willingness to help and work with us was greatly appreciated.The quality of their work was excellent, they communicated well throughout the job, and everything was completed in a very reasonable timeframe and at a fair price.It's rare these days to find tradies who genuinely care about helping people, but that's exactly the experience we had. Massive thanks to the team – 100% five-star service and I would highly recommend All Access Electrical to anyone.

I’ve used All Access Electrical multiple times for a variety of jobs, and they’ve delivered excellent results every time. Ange was more than helpful with scheduling all jobs and Mitch managed to make a few seemingly impossible things possible, and the entire team was skilled, professional, and reliable throughout the process. I would definitely recommend this company and will happily use them again in the future.

Today we had 2 really good ladies fix our electrical problem. Jaymie and Lizzie were excellent. Very thorough and kept me updated. They also went to the supplier to get the part and came back and fixed it. They also found a stray dog on our street and we all walked the streets for a good 30 minutes to try to find the owner. In the end the ladies took the dog to the local vet to try to identify the owner. First class service. 10 stars.

Title: **Highly Professional and Meticulous Service!**I recently had Isaac and Aiden out to handle some electrical upgrades, and I couldn't be more impressed with their work. They converted several single outlets to doubles, installed entirely new double plug points, and resolved a frustrating data point connection issue that had been bothering us.From the start, they provided a very clear explanation of exactly how the works would be carried out. What really stood out was the level of care they took with our home; they were extremely mindful of our personal items, moving and protecting our TVs and wall pictures before starting any drilling or wiring.Once the job was finished, they didn't leave a speck of dust behind. They cleaned up and removed all debris caused by the installation, leaving the area exactly as they found it. To top it off, they took the time to provide professional advice and clear explanations regarding some potential future projects we inquired about.If you want electricians who are skilled, respectful, and tidy, I highly recommend Isaac and Aiden. Five stars!

Isaac did another great job upgrading lighting at our house. On time, professional, friendly and cleans up! Thanks mate.So, some months later, Beau has come and upgraded our switchboard. As usual for this team, professional and with safety uppermost. I wouldn’t use anyone else but All Access.Again, the guys installed a charger for my new EV (!) a couple of weeks ago - nice job by Isaac and Beau, and a brilliant troubleshooting effort yesterday by Josh, who came over straight away and got my charger happening. Cannot fault the service - thanks guys!

Frequently Asked Questions About Switchboard Surge Protector Installation

What is the purpose of a surge protector?

The purpose of a surge protector is to provide a layer of defence between electronic equipment and unwanted power surges or spikes. Excess voltage from power surges or spikes can overload sensitive equipment, like computers, TVs, solar inverters and other appliances, as well as your home’s wiring, causing breakdown or even fires. Having the right type of surge protector improves the safety of your home, as well as protects your investments during storms or during circuit faults.

Do you need surge protection in Australia?

Yes, surge protection is highly recommended for Australian homes and businesses. As Australia’s power providers don’t guarantee 100% error-free power, voltage fluctuations can be common, as are storms and lighting. While surge protectors are not required by regulation, they provide a layer of protection for your home’s electrical system and appliances, often not covered for surge protection under insurance.

Can I install a whole house surge protector myself?

No, surge protectors can only be installed by a licensed electrician who understands current Australian standards. This makes sure the job is done safely, protecting your home and family.
