⚡ What is a power surge and why should you care?
Many people assume load shedding damages equipment when the power goes off. In reality, damage often occurs when power is restored and voltage fluctuations move through the electrical installation.

Power surges can be caused by:
• Load shedding restoration
• Power outages
• Switching on the electrical network
• Lightning activity

These surges can affect sensitive electronics such as TVs, routers, computers, alarm systems, gate motors, inverters and household appliances.

While no device can guarantee protection against every electrical event, professionally installed surge protection can significantly reduce the risk of damage to your installation and connected equipment.

If you'd like advice on whether surge protection is suitable for your property, our team is happy to assist.

What is a Beetle COC?

A beetle inspection checks for wood-destroying organisms, not general pests.

✔ Valid for 3 months

It’s a key part of property transfer compliance for freestanding homes.

And yes — we will handle it for you. Give us a call or hop onto our website: https://www.kbselectrical.co.za/ -inspection to submit your request form.
