Surge Protection Installation

Surge protection refers to devices that shield your electrical appliances from voltage spikes. These spikes can occur due to lightning strikes or power surges from the grid. By installing surge protectors, you can prevent costly damage to your electronics.

Surge protectors work by diverting excess voltage away from your devices. They contain components that absorb and dissipate the surge energy. This ensures that only a safe level of voltage reaches your appliances. Quality surge protective devices respond in nanoseconds, fast enough to prevent damage from lightning strikes and power line surges. Our installed metal oxide varistors activate before excess voltage reaches your connected equipment.

If you have valuable electronics or live in an area prone to storms, a whole-house surge protector is recommended. It provides comprehensive protection for all devices connected to your electrical system. Investing in surge protection can save you from expensive repairs and replacements. Whole house surge protectors connect directly to your electrical panel and require proper grounding, circuit breaker coordination, and NEC code compliance that only licensed electricians can safely provide.

The primary benefit of surge protection is the safety of your electronics. It also helps to extend the lifespan of your appliances by preventing damage. Additionally, surge protectors can provide peace of mind during electrical storms.

When choosing a surge protector, consider the joule rating, which indicates how much energy it can absorb. Look for features like indicator lights and warranty coverage for connected devices. Consulting with a professional can ensure you select the right type for your home.
