What Are Surge Protectors?
Surge protectors pass electric current from an electrical outlet to any devices plugged into the power strip. When a surge or spike above a designated level happens, the surge protector will automatically redirect any extra electricity into a part of the power strip called metal oxide varistors (MOVs). Power strips you can purchase at a retail location offer limited protection for your devices and typically need to be replaced after a power surge occurs. Having a whole house surge protector professionally installed is the best way to protect your devices.
How Do Whole House Surge Protectors Work?
Whole house surge protectors work the same way as other surge protectors, but they’re designed to withstand several power surges over several years. Whole home surge protectors also protect all your devices and appliances that receive power from your electrical panel. Attempting to install a whole house surge protector is dangerous and can damage your electrical system. Leave the installation of your surge protector to the electrical experts at Mr. Electric of Allegan, Kalamazoo, Ottawa & Van Buren Counties.
