  • A power surge is a sudden increase in the electrical voltage flowing through a circuit, exceeding the standard 120 volts of electricity that most home appliances are designed to handle. A power surge can cause electrical devices and appliances to overheat and malfunction, resulting in permanent damage or complete failure. The sudden surge of electricity can also damage sensitive components in devices such as microchips, circuitry, and other electronic parts, leading to degraded performance or complete failure. Our experienced team of service professionals specializes in installing whole house surge protectors to protect your home's electrical devices and appliances from the damage caused by power surges by safely diverting the excess electricity away from them.

  • Power surges can happen when high-power electrical devices, such as refrigerators, air conditioners, and clothes dryers, demand significant amounts of electricity to turn motors and compressors on and off. Appliances with heating elements, like coffee makers, electric kettles, and toaster ovens, can also cause power surges. Downed power lines, faulty electrical wiring, and problems with utility company lines, transformers, or other components can cause power surges. Although rare, lightning strikes can also cause power surges, particularly in areas that experience frequent thunderstorms. These surges can be so powerful that even the best power strip-style surge protector may not protect against them.
  • A surge protector is an electrical device designed to protect appliances and other electronic devices from voltage spikes and power surges that can damage or destroy them. It works by redirecting excess voltage caused by a surge to the grounding wire instead of allowing it to pass through to the device or appliance. Surge protectors can be installed at the main electrical panel of a house, at the outlet level, or built into power strips. Investing in a surge protector for your house is important for anyone who wants to safeguard their expensive electronics and appliances from the damaging effects of power surges.

How Does a Whole House Surge Protector Work?

A whole house surge protector is installed at the home's main electrical panel and is designed to protect all electrical devices and appliances from power surges. When a power surge enters the home's electrical system, the surge protector detects the surge and directs the excess voltage to the ground wire, diverting it away from the devices and appliances in the home. The surge protector continues to monitor the voltage and divert any additional surges until the surge has passed. This helps prevent damage to sensitive electronic equipment and appliances and protects the home from the risk of electrical fires caused by power surges.
