Queensland storms, grid events and lightning near-strikes destroy thousands of dollars of electronics every year. Whole-home surge protection fixes that cheaply.
The Sunshine Coast and Noosa Hinterland get serious summer storms — and every season, people lose TVs, fridges, solar inverters, computers and aircon PCBs to surges. Surge protection sits quietly on your switchboard and clamps voltage spikes before they reach your appliances. Ultralec installs whole-home surge protection across Pomona, Cooroy, Noosa, Tewantin, Eumundi, Gympie.
A surge protective device (SPD) at the switchboard diverts surge currents to earth, clamping voltage to safe levels. Modern SPDs respond in nanoseconds — fast enough to catch lightning-induced transients and grid switching events. Paired with point-of-use surge boards for sensitive electronics, you get layered protection.
Surge protection is one of the highest-value electrical upgrades you can do — typically a few hundred dollars installed, protecting thousands in appliances and electronics. It's standard practice on our switchboard upgrades unless you opt out.
