Whole house surge protection is a good way to prevent appliance damage from internal and external power surges.

Internal Power Surges: Come from appliances and motors in your home when an appliance with a motor starts up in your home the sudden power draw can cause a power surge inside your home. Refrigerators, Air Conditioners, Washers, Dryers, Air Compressors and many other appliances with motors can cause this.

External Power Surges: Come from the utility lines sometimes the quality of the power we get from the power company can have power surges due to faulty equipment, accidents, snow, ice and lightning storms.

Power surges slowly damage appliances over time causing them to fail. Sensitive electronics are very sensitive to these power surges. Every home is different and we can help you get the proper protection for your home and appliances you use in your home. Whole house surge protection and point of use protection is recommended for sensitive electronics.

Installation cost of surge protection can vary and a thorough check of the electrical system has to be done to make sure that the system will work properly. If any upgrades have to be made for it to work properly we can go over that with you during our visit for an estimate and explain all your options.

Proper grounding is also very important. If your electrical system is not grounded properly surge protection will not work properly. Improper grounding causes surge protection to be ineffective. I have been asked many times why surge protection did not work and we find out that the electrical system was not grounded properly.
