Protect Your Home With A Whole Home Surge Protector

Power surges are way more common than they should be and involve an increase in power voltage that is above about 120 volts. However, you can protect against them with the use of a whole home surge protector. Whole home surge protection is needed for those homeowners with outdoor lighting or those with large appliances.  Licensed Electricians are skilled and trained to bring whole home surge protection to your electrical panel. If you have an abundance of appliances, it really is beneficial to invest in this type of electrical security. This will protect your entire home and it can easily be installed in your electrical panel box.

Appliance Sensitivity

Many modern appliances are built with microchips that are sensitive to power spikes. This means that spikes or sudden increases in power can destroy or compromise many new appliances. However, you can avoid this misfortune by simply having a protector installed. This will eliminate any risk and ensure that your appliances are not harmed.

Why Do Power Surges Occur?

Power spikes can occur for many different reasons. However, one of the most common causes of power spikes are high powered or large appliances. Large refrigerators and air conditioners require a lot of energy to run. Lighting can also be a main culprit of power spikes, especially if you have large amounts of outdoor lighting. Investing in a whole home surge protector really is the best option. It is never a good idea to wait when it comes to the safety of your electrical panel. If you notice any of the warning signs or are getting new appliances, now is the time to act. Larger appliances pull more power and can easily cause an uneven distribution. This means that when you upgrade your appliances, you should make sure to invest in a protector.

How Does It Work

Most devices work by determining when an increase in power is present. Once it is noticed, the device works to automatically redirect the excess electricity into an attached grounding wire. This will result in your voltage going back to normal levels. Safety is the main function of this device and you can be secure knowing that it will work effectively to maintain normal voltage levels at all times. You should not take a chance and simply opt for whole home surge protection. A certified Houston Electrician service man will easily be able to install your device to the electrical panel per code.
