Understanding Why Surge Protection is Important

Electrical surges can impact various appliances and equipment in your home. Many people use individual surge protection devices to protect their TVs and computers. Since people have so many appliances in their homes that will mean they also have too many surge protection devices.  While it’s important to ensure that every device gets the protection it needs, we at Quick Connect Electrical   believe there is a much easier way of going about this.

You can choose to get one large capacity surge protection device installed; this device has to be hardwired into the main electrical panel in your home and it will turn your entire property into one large surge protector.  This is very convenient option based on the number of appliances and devices you have in your home. In most cases, this proves to be more affordable that buying individual surge protectors. In fact, it’s also an excellent way to ensure that all the appliances that you can’t readily get surge protection devices for, are also protected effectively.

Electrical surges come unannounced

It’s true that sometimes electrical surges are caused by lightning strikes and most homeowners are concerned about this. However, this isn’t the only thing you need to be concerned about. If the power gets knocked out from the grid, there can be a power surge once the power is restored. In fact, an electrical surge can impact the system even if the power is restored via your own generator.  In short, surges can occur without a warning and you may not even realise that is happening. While they may not make your appliances and electronics completely dysfunctional, they can impact the longevity of the appliance.

How surges can burn a hole in your pocket

When you invest in high end electronics, you want to be sure they are well-protected. Large appliances such as refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines and ovens now operate on smart technology and it’s crucial that their components be protected from surges. Your HVAC system too needs protection and very severe surges can affect your air conditioning system as well as furnaces. All of this increases the overall cost of these devices as the surges impact the longevity of the appliances and electrical equipment.
