Home surge protectors have become an essential component of most modern homes. They are necessary for protecting your electronics from power surges and allowing your family to still function normally when disaster strikes. Now, what exactly causes a power surge?
The most common cause of electrical surges actually stems from regular usage of household electronics and appliances. Cycling electrical units such as washing machines and refrigerators can cause harmful voltage spikes. Fortunately, this is relatively easy to combat with a whole-home surge protection system from Connors Plumbing, Heating and Air!
Lightning strikes can cause some serious damage to your electrical system – even if the lightning strike doesn’t occur particularly close to your home! Lightning does not need to directly strike your home for a power surge to occur and cause severe damage. Power surges from lighting strikes can seriously damage electrical appliances like your HVAC system or refrigerator. The only way to combat this is with a home surge protection system.
Power line surges are common when your utility service provider is experiencing service outages. As we all know, it is common to experience service outages during harsh weather patterns. Fallen trees and vehicle crashes can all disrupt local power lines, leading to increased power surges throughout the area.
There are a plethora of internal issues that could cause power surges in your home. For example, short circuiting, circuit breaker tripping, and faulty wiring, which is more common in older Waseca, MN area homes, can all lead to serious power surges that will damage your electrical appliances.
Yes, the expert electricians at Connors Plumbing, Heating and Air can repair or replace malfunctioning surge protectors in your Waseca home before fall storms hit, ensuring your electrical system and appliances stay protected from sudden autumn voltage spikes.
If your whole-home surge protection system stops working during a severe Minnesota fall storm, contact Connors Plumbing, Heating and Air immediately so a professional electrician can inspect your panel for damage and restore protection before the next weather event.
Most whole-house surge protectors last between 5 and 10 years, but Waseca professionals recommend replacing your unit before autumn weather sets in if the status indicator light shows it has reached capacity.
If your Waseca property has multiple electrical panels that need surge protection this fall, our Connors Plumbing, Heating and Air electricians will install dedicated surge protection units for each panel for complete coverage.
A whole-home surge protector is a compact unit that takes up very little space, requiring only two open breaker slots in your Waseca electrical panel during a fall electrical upgrade.
Cable surge protection is a specialized shield for communication lines that prevents high-voltage spikes from entering through internet or television wiring, safeguarding your Waseca home’s electronics during fall power surges.
