Surge Protection Is Not Just Storm Protection!

Although protection against lightning strikes is the common reason that most people have whole-home surge protectors installed, that isn’t the only benefit of the technology. Even when you’re not expecting a heavy storm with lightning and high winds, your surge protector will actively keep your home and devices safe from damage.

A Whole-House Surge Protector Provides Daily Protection

There are small electrical surges constantly flowing through your home’s wiring, and it’s unlikely that you’ll even know when it’s happening. While these surges are small, they can gradually damage any devices or appliances that you leave plugged into your outlets. In Southwest Florida, surge protection installation will allow you to protect all of your electronics from suffering from such cumulative damage.



Southwest Florida Surge Protection Delivers Energy Savings

As you decide whether to install a whole-home surge protector, consider how surges affect your energy consumption. Sudden bursts of energy will register on your meter, resulting in higher energy costs, even though your intentional energy usage remains constant. A surge protector can help you lower your energy costs and reduce your household’s carbon footprint.

Reduce the Risks of Fire and Electrical Shock

If you’re touching an appliance when an electrical surge occurs, there’s a high likelihood that you will receive an electrical shock. At the same time, surges throughout your home lead to a higher risk of a fire. When you have an electrician install Southwest Florida surge protection, you’ll keep those risks low by removing the access that an electrical surge has.

A Whole-House Surge Protector Is Cost-Effective

When you buy a power strip with surge protection, you’ll only protect devices plugged into that one power strip, and to protect more, you’ll need a variety of power strips, which often offer limited protection.

In contrast, a whole-home surge protector will cover every outlet and lighting fixture in your home. It will also offer much greater protection against a considerably higher volume of joules (the measuring unit for energy). An electrician can help you determine the correct amount of protection to match your home's energy consumption.
