Whole House Surge Protector

OVERVIEW

The Importance of Surge Protectors for Your Home

A surge protector is essential for safeguarding your home’s electronic devices against power surges. In the United States, disruptions to the electrical grid are increasingly frequent, leading to potential power surges that can severely damage your electronics if they’re not adequately protected. Every day, costly devices are damaged by these surges. Don’t let this happen to you; let us install a whole-house surge protector to keep your home safe during power surges.

Whole Home Surge Protectors vs. Power Strip Surge Protectors

Power strip surge protectors may offer basic protection for specific devices, but whole home surge protectors deliver extensive coverage for your entire residence. These devices are installed directly into your home’s electrical panel, safeguarding all circuits within your home from power surges.

How Common Are Power Surges?

On average, a home in the United States encounters approximately 20 power surges each day. Fortunately, most of these do not cause significant harm. However, another concern is the 20 million lightning strikes that occur annually across the country. Without proper protection, lightning strikes can lead to extensive damage to both your home and electronic devices. Many homeowners are often surprised to learn that their home insurance policies typically do not cover damages resulting from a lightning strike. The most effective way to safeguard yourself is to engage a professional company to install a power surge protector.

Understanding Power Surges

A power surge refers to a sudden increase in voltage that can harm your home’s electrical system as well as any electronic devices linked to it. These surges can arise from a variety of factors, such as lightning strikes, power outages, and the activation or deactivation of high-power electrical devices in your home.

Additional causes of power surges include:

  • The abrupt restoration of power following an outage

  • Overloaded outlets or circuits

  • High-power electrical appliances and devices

  • Damaged or exposed wiring

How It Works

Electricity naturally seeks the path of least resistance to reach the ground. A surge protector safely diverts any power surges away from your electronic devices, keeping them unharmed. However, it’s crucial to understand that the effectiveness of a surge protector depends on the quality of the grounding system it connects to. We can conduct a test to determine if your grounding is adequate. If it isn’t, we are here to assist you in that area as well.
