Protect Your House Against Surge Damage
Power surges can damage your home or electronics. That can cost you a lot of money buying replacements. Instead, you can protect your items by installing a whole-house surge protector. These keep your appliances safe from:
- Lightning strikes. Your home could be at risk if a lightning strike hits up to a mile away. Your homeowner’s insurance policy might not protect you against this possible damage.
- Increased energy output. Your home’s energy output rises as temperatures get higher, increasing the risk of surge damage.
- Energy spikes. The average home can get hit with 20 energy spikes a day.
Surge Protectors vs Power Strips
A question our technicians get a lot is “Are power strips the same as surge protectors?” In short, no.
Power strips can be used when you need to plug in numerous electronics in your home – like your TV, video game consoles, computers, and other electronics. These are an expansion of the wall outlet and typically have a circuit breaker on/off switch. However, these do not protect against electrical surges. For protection against power strikes, you need surge protectors.
To install a surge protector at your house, call our electricians at Postma Heating & Cooling.
Make sure your electrical system is working properly by scheduling an electrical safety inspection.
