Why Surge Protection is More Important Than Ever in the West Midlands
Modern West Midlands homes contain more sensitive electronic equipment than ever before — smart TVs, computers, smart home systems, EV chargers, solar panel inverters and heat pumps. All of these devices are vulnerable to voltage spikes caused by lightning strikes, switching surges from the network, or large appliances switching on and off.
The 18th Edition of BS 7671 (Amendment 2, 2022) now recommends surge protection for all new electrical installations and significant alterations. If you're having a new consumer unit fitted, an EV charger installed or a full rewire carried out in the West Midlands, adding a surge protection device at the same time is a cost-effective way to protect your investment.
A single voltage spike can damage or destroy multiple appliances simultaneously. The cost of replacing a smart TV, computer, washing machine and fridge-freezer far exceeds the cost of a surge protection device installation.
Surge Protection for EV Chargers and Smart Homes in the West Midlands
EV chargers and smart home systems are particularly vulnerable to voltage spikes. EV charger electronics can be damaged by surges, potentially voiding your warranty and leaving you without a working charger. Smart home hubs, smart switches and home automation systems contain sensitive electronics that can be permanently damaged by a single surge event.
We recommend combining surge protection device installation with EV charger installation or smart home upgrades across the West Midlands. This provides comprehensive protection for your entire electrical system and all connected devices.

We provide free, no-obligation quotes for all surge protection installations across Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Walsall, Dudley and all West Midlands areas. When combined with a consumer unit upgrade or EV charger installation, we offer package discounts that make surge protection even more cost-effective.
Surge Protection and the BS 7671 18th Edition in the West Midlands
The 18th Edition of BS 7671 (Amendment 2, 2022) introduced new requirements for surge protective devices, recognising the growing risk from transient overvoltages. Regulation 443 now requires a risk assessment for all new installations, and in many cases mandates the installation of SPDs where the cost of replacing equipment damaged by surges would exceed the cost of protection.
When we carry out a new consumer unit installation or full rewire across the West Midlands, we carry out the BS 7671 risk assessment and advise on the appropriate level of surge protection for your specific property. Properties with solar PV systems, EV chargers, smart home systems or home offices particularly benefit from surge protection.
