Are surge protection devices required in Cheshire properties?

BS 7671 Amendment 2 (2022) requires SPDs in most new installations and significant alterations. SPDs are mandatory where consequences of overvoltage could result in serious injury, loss of life, or interruption of essential services. We recommend SPDs for all Cheshire properties to protect valuable equipment.

What type of surge protection do I need?

Most Cheshire properties need Type 2 SPDs at the main consumer unit or distribution board. Properties with external lightning protection need Type 1. Sensitive equipment may need additional Type 3 protection. We'll assess your property and recommend the appropriate protection level.

How do I know if my surge protector is working?

Most SPDs have visual indicators showing operational status. Green typically means working, red means failed and needs replacement. We provide regular testing and maintenance services for Cheshire properties to ensure SPDs remain effective.

Can surge protection be added to existing installations?

Yes, SPDs can be retrofitted to existing consumer units and distribution boards in Cheshire properties. We can assess your current installation and add appropriate surge protection to meet current regulations and protect your equipment.

How often should surge protection devices be tested?

SPDs should be visually inspected during routine electrical inspections and tested annually. After any known surge event (lightning strike, power surge), SPDs should be inspected immediately. We offer annual maintenance contracts for Cheshire properties.
