Simply put, an electrical surge is a brief over voltage or spike in an electrical circuit. All electrical appliances are designed to operate at a specified voltage. Most equipment is actually designed to handle minor variations in voltage, but an electrical surge can still rain on your parade. An electrical surge is capable of damaging and even destroying the electrical appliances within your home.
Damaged or destroyed electrical equipment will undoubtedly negatively impact the efficiency of your home and cause you to spend unnecessary money replacing or repairing equipment that could have been protected in the first place.
There are a few common scenarios in which an electrical surge can occur within your home.
Power grid switching at the electric utility company.
Lightning during a severe thunderstorm.
Larger appliances like ACs and refrigerators can cause a surge when turning on or off.
Most of these scenarios are entirely out of your control. That is why it is so important to get your appliances and home protected before a surge happens. Instead of leaving it to chance, consider having a whole-home surge protector installed.
How Does a Whole House Surge Protector Work?
A home surge protector works much like a pressure relief valve. Once the protector is properly installed, this will start to control how much power is flowing to your electrical circuits. It limits any excess current from meeting your electrical appliances and in turn saves them from harmful current damage. Power strips also act as mini-surge protectors, but when it comes to your larger appliances, it is best to invest in a whole-home surge protector.
When it is time to have your whole home surge protector installed, you can count on us to get the job done right the first time. We deliver clean and professional work every single time. Not to mention, installing a home surge protector can be a bit dangerous.
The surge protector itself will get mounted onto the main panel box. Even when the power is switched off, there are still live wires in the box that can cause electrocution. That is why it is best to just have one of our trained professionals install the protector for you.
