Risks From Power Surges
Surges can come from a variety of sources. Lightning strikes, faulty wiring, and high-powered appliances cycling on and off can change the flow of electricity. Unfortunately, these surges can cause considerable damage.
Common power surge risks include:
- Damaged computers, TVs, and home theater systems
- Appliance failure, including refrigerators, dryers, and HVAC systems
- Fire hazards from overheated wiring
Protection for Entire Home Systems
Whole-home surge protectors shield your electrical system from surges caused by internal and external sources. We install these devices at your main electrical panel, where they safely divert excess voltage to ground. This protects all electrical appliances and components in your home, from your appliances to your lighting circuits.
At Summit Heating, A/C, Plumbing & Electrical, our friendly, professional technicians handle the installation, testing, and maintenance of whole-home surge protectors. We make sure your system performs reliably when you need it most.
Replacing Worn Protection Devices
Whole-home surge protectors have an expected lifespan of about five to 15 years. Over time, they lose their ability to absorb voltage spikes. If your home’s surge protector is several years old, you may be vulnerable to damage to your appliances and electrical wiring.
Our team specializes in surge protector replacement, ensuring your home continues to benefit from full protection. When you schedule a routine electrical inspection, your electrician will assess your system and provide honest, transparent feedback on its condition.
