From generation to distribution to local power lines, dangerous irregularities in the power arriving at your home can be reduced by whole-home surge protection in Englewood, CO. Local storms, transformer failure, switching equipment issues, and other changes in power system loads can result in excessive voltages in your home. Most electrical devices are vulnerable to damage or destruction from power spikes.
Brief but potent power surges are the source of damage to appliances and expensive electronics like gaming systems, home theaters, computers, and even HVAC systems. In extreme cases, equipment can experience breakdowns, resulting in smoke or fire. The experienced electricians at High 5 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric provide careful installation of centralized power surge protection for your home. It’s no wonder that the National Electrical Code has been recently updated to require whole home surge protection devices or SPDs in new construction and updated homes!
How Sensitive is My Home’s Electronic Equipment?
Power surges come in many sizes, but more commonly, they are small voltage spikes that cause accumulated damage and eventual equipment failure. Occasional large spikes are devastating to appliances, TVs, computers, alarm systems, and other products throughout your home. Homeowners with nearby storm-related power surges may lose multiple devices with a very high repair or replacement cost!
The central power spike protection device is installed in or near your power panel, carefully wired for fastest response to power surges. It may be supplemented by further protection on individual circuits, including familiar power strip based protection for a computer or TV. Central surge protection devices, or SPDs, have higher protection ratings, last for years, and reset automatically for ongoing protection throughout your home.
Recent updates to the National Electrical Code have provided an SPD requirement for new construction and existing home power system updates. Both the risk of costly damage and possible fire resulting from powerful voltage surges make this a sensible choice. When SPD devices reach their end of life years later, a single device replacement can restore coverage throughout your Englewood home.
Power surge protection for your home covers:
- Older and modern smart appliances
- Alarm systems and smart home components
- HVAC thermostats, motors, and control electronics
- Modern hot water heaters and EV chargers
- Home theater, classic stereo equipment, computers
The damage from power surges is unpredictable. Sometimes it may lead to eventual equipment failure, other times cause immediate damage and possible fire or smoke.
