When skies darken, do you think about whole home surge protection in Centennial, CO? Dangerous spikes in your home’s incoming power can have many causes, from local storms to power company equipment disruptions. Presenting excessive voltages to equipment of many kinds, damage to your appliances, computers, alarm systems, EV chargers, and even HVAC equipment can occur.
Surge protection at your home’s power panel diverts incoming power spikes on a centralized basis. Each individual circuit in your home receives protection for any equipment connected to it. Proper installation by our High 5 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric electricians maximizes the effectiveness of your surge protection device (SPD). This equipment is required by the updated National Electrical Code for new home construction and updates, and recommended for every home. They’re long-lasting, self-resetting, and in severe cases can prevent fires.
Is Every Home Subject to Dangerous Power Surges?
Yes, the nature of the power grid and home wiring can subject your electrical equipment to power surges or “spikes” at any time. External causes include storms and power company equipment problems, while the operation of powerful motors and other load changes can cause spikes inside your home as well. That’s why the NEC technical specifications for residential electrical systems require or recommend SPDs, or surge protection devices, on central power equipment.
You may already have power strip-based surge protection or other limited coverage for specific devices such as computer and home theater equipment. This is helpful as supplemental coverage but is more limited than power panel-based devices, requiring manual reset or replacement after a surge. Whole home surge protection typically lasts for years, providing ongoing service and a clear indication when its service life is complete and replacement is needed.
Powerful spikes in your electrical system’s voltage can cause fires in equipment, and multiple failures resulting in high repair or replacement costs. For your family’s safety, and continued enjoyment of your computers, gaming systems, and modern appliances, power spike protection is an important electrical system improvement!
Protecting your home against power surges preserves:
- Home theater, classic stereo equipment, computers
- Appliances, especially modern Wi-Fi connected ones
