Generator Installation
Did you know, since 2020 the National Electrical Code has required surge protection devices be installed in all new construction and renovated homes?
A power surge is a brief over-voltage in a home’s electrical system. This spike in energy can damage or destroy sensitive electrical devices. It’s estimated that 80% of power surges are caused by electrical systems inside the home.
According to the National Electrical Manufacturers Association, the average U.S. home has over $15,000 worth of equipment that can be damaged by power surges. Surges can destroy or reduce the lifespan of electronics, including:
No surge protection device can provide protection against a direct lightning strike. The best way to prevent lightening damage is to have a lightening arrestor installed to direct the energy from lightning strikes away from your home.
When an electrical storm is approaching the safest option is to always disconnect sensitive electronics to prevent damage.
Point-of-use power strip surge protectors provide only minimal protection to electronics plugged into the device. Power strips must be replaced over time or after a major surge event. Whole home surge protection devices are installed by an electrician at the service panel to protect your entire electrical system from power surges, ensuring safe, reliable power. Whole home surge devices will protect against larger power surges and provide long-lasting protection.
