How would you and your home benefit from Whole-Home Surge Protection Installation?
We all want to keep our homes safe and sound, but let’s think outside the box! Or perhaps inside the box, as it were!
Let's think beyond home security systems and security cameras, deadbolt locks, and secure window latches.
Is your home safe in the face of a natural disaster? We here in South Texas often experience extreme weather conditions, sometimes in a matter of minutes! Major Thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes, to name a few! Suffice it to say, your best bet is to make certain your home's electrical system is prepared for pretty much anything Mother Nature might throw in your direction.
Today, we have more sophisticated technologies in our homes than ever before. High tech Microwaves, Electric Ranges, Refrigerators, Computers, Gaming Systems, and other major appliances we’ve grown accustomed to, that all require electricity to function.
Each of these beloved and necessary devices contain very sensitive electronic components, as well as highly intricate circuit boards; that are usually not protected by surge suppression, which puts them at risk to potential power surges due to inclement weather, lightning strikes…etc.
In fact, unbeknownst to us; our prized devices actually receive repeated power spikes and low voltage surges every day from outside of our homes. Things such as downed power lines, lightning strikes, utility company accidents, and of course, the high electrical demand in your city’s electrical grid; can influence the electrical flow inside our homes.
When our beloved appliances are continuously hit by these low voltage surges, the inside components begin to slowly degrade over time, wearing out those sensitive circut boards little by little. Larger surges; such as lighting strikes or power outages, can completely damage appliances that have already begun deteriorating over time.
How will Whole-Home Surge Protection work for you & the electrical safety of your home?
Whole-home surge protection is a device that is hardwired directly into your home's electrical panel; the heart of your home!
With Whole-Home Surge Protection, when a voltage spike runs through your panel’s system, it will allow your panel the ability to block the spike from harming your system by diverting the excess voltage into the ground; under your home instead of routing it back into, and throughout your home!
Whole-home Surge Protection basically assists in defending your electrical system and the sensitive components in your electrical devices in your home!
The great benefits of Whole-Home Surge Protection.
You may wonder how fast Whole-Home Surge Protectors work. The answer is, they react instantly!
In fact, they have the capability to react in less than a nanosecond to thwart off those damaging voltage levels coming into your home’s electrical panel!
Surge protectors also work against those smaller daily surges coming in through your panel as well. Some surges aren’t so detrimental, but as previously mentioned; they can cause minor damages to your appliances over several months time, which can leave you without those major appliances, as well as waiting around for service options to fix your broken appliances, or having to purchase new appliances altogether!
Surge Protection as a whole.
Your Whole-Home Surge Protector’s main function is to prevent your home’s appliances and electronics from harm, but it also protects your entire electrical system as a whole.
If there’s an electrical surge from an appliance within your home; that electrical surge has nowhere else to go but back through your breaker panel, which in turn can cause damage to your home's outlets, switches, and electrical wiring. When you have Whole-Home Surge Protection, it protects all of the other electrical equipment in your home, and also your outlets, switches and wiring as well!
Why you need a Professional when it comes to electrical work in your home.
When it comes to any type of electrical service or repair, you should always bring in a licensed electrical professional, who understands the ins and outs of your electrical system.
Whole-Home Surge Protection only takes a couple of hours to perform, and the aforementioned benefits alone will give you peace of mind for years to come.
