What Can a Power Surge Do to Your Expensive Electronics?
Living in Central Florida means living with lightning. The region sees more cloud-to-ground lightning strikes than nearly any other part of the country, and every one of those strikes has the potential to send a destructive power surge into your home. Without proper protection, a single surge can fry your air conditioner’s control board, destroy a television or computer, or damage sensitive appliances like your refrigerator and washing machine.
A whole-home surge protector is installed directly at your electrical panel and acts as a gatekeeper. It absorbs excess voltage before it can travel through your home’s wiring and reach your devices. Installation takes just a couple of hours, and the investment is a fraction of what it would cost to replace even one major appliance.
Are Power Strip Surge Protectors Enough for Your Home?
Power surges do not only come from lightning. They also happen when the power grid fluctuates, when large appliances cycle on and off, and when utility work affects your line. These smaller surges happen dozens of times a day and gradually degrade your electronics over time. A whole-home surge protector handles all of them, keeping your devices running longer and more reliably.
Have Questions About This Service?
Why do I need whole-home surge protection in Florida?
Central Florida experiences more lightning strikes per year than almost anywhere else in the country. A nearby strike can send a surge through your power lines strong enough to destroy air conditioners, refrigerators, computers, and televisions. A whole-home surge protector absorbs that energy before it reaches your devices.
Will a power strip protect my electronics from lightning?
Power strips with built-in surge protection offer some defense for individual devices, but they cannot stop a large surge from a lightning strike. A whole-home surge protector at the panel is the first and most important line of defense, and individual strips can serve as a second layer.
How long does a whole-home surge protector last?
Most whole-home surge protectors last between five and ten years depending on how many surges they absorb. Many models include an indicator light that tells you when the device needs to be replaced. We recommend checking it during your annual electrical inspection.
