Fitted on the board
Surge protection is install work on the distribution board, often while that board is already open for an upgrade or backup.
Board-upgrade add-on — storms as general context
Surge protection in Somerset West
Surge protection in Somerset West as a distribution-board add-on. Western Cape storms and supply switching are general context, not a weather claim we measured on your street.
01
Surge protection here is extra protection on the board when we are already installing or upgrading it — not a weather-station report and not a gadget catalogue.
Surge protection in Somerset West sits on this electrician site as a board-upgrade add-on. When we open a distribution board for a COC, a replacement, or backup changeover, surge protection is an ordinary extra to discuss. Western Cape storms and supply switching are general reasons people ask — we are not claiming we measured lightning on your street, and we are not publishing a storm map as if it were our data. This is not a gadget shop. Devices have to be selected for the board and the installation, then installed so they actually protect. A plug-in strip in the study is not this card. Send the suburb, a photo of the board, and whether surge protection is the whole brief or part of an upgrade. We quote from that installation.

Straight answers
Questions about surge protection.
Final recommendations depend on the site. These are useful starting points.
Do you add surge protection when we upgrade the board?+
Often that is the useful time. Western Cape storms and supply switching are general context, not a weather claim we measured. The board in the photo decides what can be fitted.
Is this a lightning-protection design service?+
This card is surge protection on the distribution board. Full structural lightning design is a different brief. We will say if what you are asking for is beyond a board add-on.
Can I just buy a plug-in strip?+
You can. That is not this card. This card is contractor install on the board.
How much does surge protection cost?+
No Rand figure here. It is usually quoted with the board work. Send the photo.
