Best Whole-Home Surge Protector
If you are like many people, you may think of power surges as something that happens during storms. However, there are many other causes of power surges. In addition to lightning strikes, power restoration after an outage can also cause a surge. Even more commonly, there may be power surges in your home each time your HVAC system cycles on and off. Another common cause is having too many items drawing power from a single circuit. You may have experienced this if you’ve ever had the microwave stop working due to a tripped breaker when the AC turns on.
A power surge in your home may do any of the following.
- Wear out appliances early
- Damage electronics
- Damage your electrical system
- Create fire risk
Essentially, damage from a power surge can be immediate, or it can happen gradually. Your tablet might not stop working the first time there’s a surge through the outlet that you’ve plugged it into. However, it can suffer wear and tear over time.
In a worst-case scenario, a power surge can shut down your electrical system or even start a fire. This is one reason that having a whole-home surge protector is so important. You might have other types of surge protectors in your home, such as power strips with built-in protectors. There are also surge protectors that plug directly into your outlets.
It’s much better to combine these types of protectors with a whole-home surge protector. This will help ensure that your electrical system remains safe. It will also give you multiple layers of protection. No form of surge protection is 100% effective, but combining whole-home with point-of-use protection provides a great deal of safety.
We usually install a whole-home surge protector at your electrical panel. It’s important to have an electrician do this work even if you normally enjoy DIY tasks. This is for reasons of both safety and effectiveness. For example, we’ll need to evaluate whether we can install the surge protector in your main breaker panel. In some cases, it’s necessary to replace some breakers or the main breaker panel. Once it’s installed, the surge protector can detect any sudden voltage increase and stop it from circulating through your system.
