Frequently Asked Questions

What types of powerboards do you stock?

We stock a wide range of powerboards including surge-protected boards, RCD safety switch powerboards, USB charging powerboards, and standard multi-outlet boards from trusted Australian brands like HPM, Jackson, ARLEC, and Ultracharge.

What is the difference between a surge-protected powerboard and a standard powerboard?

A surge-protected powerboard includes built-in circuitry to absorb voltage spikes, protecting connected electronics from damage. A standard powerboard simply provides additional outlets without surge protection. Surge protection is recommended for computers, TVs, and other sensitive devices.

How do digital timer switches work?

Digital timer switches allow you to program specific on/off times for connected appliances. 24-hour timers let you set daily schedules, while 7-day digital timers allow different schedules for each day of the week — ideal for automating lighting, heaters, fans, and irrigation systems.

Are your powerboards and adaptors compliant with Australian standards?

Yes. All powerboards, timers, and adaptors we stock are compliant with Australian electrical safety standards and are suitable for use with standard AU/NZ 3-pin outlets.

Can I use a double adaptor or piggyback adaptor safely?

Double adaptors and piggyback adaptors are safe when used within their rated load capacity. Avoid overloading them with high-draw appliances such as heaters or air conditioners. For heavy-duty use, a surge-protected powerboard is a safer and more practical option.
