Older homes, older wiring
Northcliff is mostly established freestanding homes on and around the ridge, many built decades ago and renovated since. A modern inverter fridge or washing machine plugged into an older circuit can trip earth leakage or suffer when the voltage dips. So when an appliance keeps tripping the power here, we test the appliance and the socket before blaming either one.
The ridge also catches summer storms. If several appliances failed at the same time after lightning or a power cut, that's a surge, and your home insurance may cover it.
