Surge Protection
Many of us only think of surge protection during a bad thunderstorm, when we run around the house unplugging our expensive electronics to save them from a potential lightning strike. While lightening causes some of the most powerful and destructive power surges, this does not occur frequently. Surges can also be caused when an object comes into contact with a power line, or when utility power comes back online after an outage. Again, these problems are infrequent.

In fact, your equipment is much more likely to be damaged from the small, daily power surges that occur inside your home, for example, when your furnace, air conditioner or refrigerator draws power. These surges range from under 100 to several thousand volts.

While the majority of the surges inside your home will do no immediate damage, their cumulative effect can take years off the life of your electronics and appliances

Surge protection installation
A power surge is not just a threat to your home computer, it can also be devastating to large appliance circuit boards ie:
  • Refrigerators
  • Washers & Dryers
  • Oven & Range
  • Microwave Ovens
  • DVD & Home Entertainment Systems

Plugging your electrical equipment into a surge suppressor strip alone is not enough to protect against severe lightening strikes. Ask us today how central surge protection will benefit your home or office.
