Surge Protection
Surge Protection
Surges are sudden and unexpected spikes in voltage that travel throughout your home/office electrical system.
Some surges come from within your own home/office, such as turning on a vacuum cleaner or sending a document to your printer. Other surges come from outside your home, as in electric utility switching, downed power poles, cut power lines, and lightning strikes. Surge can even enter through cable televisions and telephone wiring.
During summer, the electrical grid is especially susceptible to swings in demand. While it's easy to blame bad weather for the most evident of power woes, prolonged periods of calm, sunny, dry hot weather can be equally problematic for electronic equipment-after all, all those air conditioners, ceiling fans, pool filters and hot tubs turning on-and-off can generate dips and surges equal to those caused by severe storms.
As the weather begins to warm up and get hot,
New York homeowners will begin to use more electricity, which may cause a surge. These surges can literally destroy expensive electronics! You need a whole house surge protection system in order to combat these surges. The inexpensive power strip-type protectors provide little or no protection. You can get 30% more life out of your appliances and electronics if you use a Whole House Surge Protection.
Throughout our many years of experience
we have learned that by taking certain preventative
measures such as correcting a minor electrical problem,
costly repairs and replacement of parts can often be
avoided. Surge Protection is vital to the health of your
electronic equipment.
