Electrical surges, or spikes in voltage, stem from various sources. Lightning strikes are often to blame, but there are many other causes of these surges. Power outages, tripped circuit breakers, or fluctuations in electrical grid voltage can result in surges that damage sensitive electronics and appliances. With the increasing number of devices in our homes, the risk of damage from electrical surges is higher than ever.
Surge protection is not just about preventing damage to expensive electronics; it's about ensuring the safety and functionality of your home's electrical system. A well-implemented surge protection strategy can save you thousands of dollars in repairs or replacements. At AWM Electric, we offer a range of surge protection solutions tailored to your specific needs.
One of the most effective methods of safeguarding your home is through whole-house surge protectors. These devices are installed at the electrical service panel and provide the first line of defense against surges entering your home. Whole-house surge protectors can handle larger surges than individual plug-in solutions, making them an essential part of comprehensive protection.
In addition to whole-house surge protection devices, we recommend using plug-in surge protectors for individual electronics. These devices are ideal for protecting single items like computers, televisions, and home entertainment systems. At AWM Electric, we ensure that these plug-in devices are UL-listed, which means they've been tested for safety and effectiveness, giving you peace of mind when it comes to protecting your valued electronics.
Furthermore, regular maintenance and updates of your home's electrical infrastructure are crucial for preventing and mitigating the impact of surges. Outdated wiring and overloaded circuits increase the risk of significant damage, so it's essential to have a qualified electrician, like those at AWM Electric, inspect your system regularly. We provide comprehensive electrical assessments to identify any vulnerabilities in your system and recommend necessary improvements.
Understanding surge protection is only half the battle; selecting the right professional to handle your electrical needs is equally important.
