Electrical surges can be costly and catastrophic to your home’s appliances and electronics – in some cases, they can even be dangerous. A certified electrician can help you protect your home with a quick and easy installation appointment.
What is a Surge Protector?
Electrical surges are unexpected transient waves of electrical power that affect a circuit. They occur very quickly and can happen for many reasons outside of a lightning strike – they can also occur because of electrical overload, faulty wiring, or even power coming back on after an outage. A surge protector is a small box hard-wired to your electrical service panel that grounds or blocks electrical surges. This means it can protect your appliances and electronics without you having to do anything.
Why Would I Need a Certified Electrician For a Surge Protector?
Surge protectors are an effective way to protect your home and electrical service in the rare event of an electrical surge. A certified electrician can help you select the right surge protector and ensure it’s properly installed for best protection. A certified electrician can also inspect your home for possible causes of electrical surges and perform an electrical service upgrade if needed.
What Surge Protector Services Can a Certified Electrician Provide?
A certified electrician can recommend the right surge protector for your home, whether it’s an existing home or a new residential construction. Surge protectors require hardwiring into your electrical panel, meaning it can be risky to perform the installation yourself. A certified electrician can also ensure it’s properly integrated with your home and its electrical service. Finally, a certified electrician can service and replace a surge protector, so your home has continuous protection.
