KEY BENEFITS OF SURGE PROTECTION SERVICES:
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is surge protection and why do I need it?
What causes power surges?
Power surges can be caused by numerous factors including lightning, power outages, high-power electrical devices, and even problems with the utility company's equipment.
Can't I just use a surge protector power strip?
Surge protector power strips can provide some level of protection, but they may not safeguard against larger surges. A whole-home or business surge protector provides more comprehensive protection.
How does a whole-home/business surge protector work?
A whole-home or business surge protector is installed directly to your electrical service panel. It works by monitoring the electricity flowing into your property and when it detects an electrical surge, it suppresses the excess voltage preventing it from flowing into your home or business.
How long does a surge protector last?
The lifespan of a surge protector can vary depending on the number and severity of the surges it encounters. If you suspect that your surge protector has absorbed a large surge, it's best to have it inspected by a professional.
Can I install a surge protector myself?
Installing a surge protector involves working with the electrical service panel and should only be done by a licensed electrician. Incorrect installation can lead to ineffective surge protection and even pose safety risks.
