Why is a surge protector good for a Starlink System?

A surge protector is beneficial for a Starlink system for several reasons:

1. Protection against power surges: Starlink hardware, such as the satellite dish and router, contains sensitive electronics that can be damaged by power surges. A surge protector helps prevent these devices from being affected by sudden increases in voltage, which can occur due to lightning strikes or power grid issues.

2. Ensuring system reliability: Damage to Starlink hardware can disrupt your internet connection and require costly repairs or replacements. By using a surge protector, you can help ensure the reliability and longevity of your Starlink system.

3. Protecting other connected devices: A surge protector typically has multiple outlets, allowing you to connect other devices such as computers, TVs, and smart home devices. By using a surge protector, you can protect these devices from power surges as well.

4. Peace of mind: Knowing that your Starlink system and other connected devices are protected by a surge protector can provide peace of mind, especially in areas prone to electrical storms or power fluctuations.

We often use an HPM 12 Outlet or HPM 5 Outlet Surge Protector Powerboard. While powerboards vary in surge protection rating (Jules Rating), our view is that any protection is better than no protection.

Alternatively, you could consider a UPS for your Starlink. Most UPS units offer battery backup, Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR), and Surge Protection in one unit.

The Process
Site Survey
Before installing Starlink or requesting a service, we will assess your site to ensure optimal performance. This assessment can be conducted remotely or in person, depending on your location and potential obstacles. Our goal is to confirm that Starlink is the best solution for you and that your location will support a reliable Starlink connection.
Finalise Order
After completing the site survey, we will provide you with a final order detailing the installation process, core components, and any additional parts that may be needed. Your approval of this order is required for us to proceed with the installation.
Equipment Order
Once your order is approved and the initial payment is received, we will purchase any additional parts needed. If you haven't done so already, this is the time to place your order for the Starlink equipment and service.
Installation
After all parts have been received and you have your Starlink equipment, we will schedule a date for your installation.

Our Reviews

Cohen was great to deal with and, the whole experience was very easy and went very smoothly. I would highly recommend Cohen and would definitely use him again.
Naomi Bawden | The Summit Trafalgar
Cohen has been wonderful to work with, excellent communication and service. Never tried to sell things we didn't need, just listened to our concerns and helped us get what we needed. So glad we were able to find someone reliable and local to assist with our internet needs.
John Richardson | Neerim South
I could not speak more highly of Cohen, turning up on time(or earlier) for all appointments, and installing Starlink without any fuss. I would not hesitate to recommend Cohen should you require his great service.
George Katiforis | Traralgon
Starlink Install Gippsland provided excellent service in installing my Starlink kit. They went out of there way to demonstrate the Starlink operation at my place before I committed to the purchase. I found them to be professional and thorough, throughout the entire process. 5 Stars to Cohen and his team.

John Dixon | Seaspray
From my initial contact with Cohen, he delivered what he promised. He installed it on time and the installation was faultless. The quote was spot on. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone and will get him to install an extender on my shed when it is completed.

Andrew Hutchins | Fish Creek
We were having issue with Telstra and Cohen came out and installed all our equipment & booster for studio in a timely & professional manner and guided us through the whole process ,would recommend him highly to anyone thinking about a Starlink setup..
Jenny Smith | Port Albert
I cannot rate Cohen highly enough. We have been experiencing difficulties with NBN reception for some time. After a recent long term power outage where we had no internet or mobile reception for 4 days I decided to ditch the NBN. I reached out to Cohen after completing a google search for installers of Starlink. The installation went smoothly, and I am now enjoying high speed internet without any issues. I will also maintain internet and mobile communications if there is another power outage as we can simply plug the modem into our generator and everything will be back on line.
