Whole House Surge Protection In Minneapolis

Serving the Twin Cities Metro and Surrounding Areas

Why does surge protection matter? This is a question that our professional electricians get a lot. First off, power surges come at random. Nobody can predict them. More importantly, nobody can prevent them. They can happen in any type of household, whether or not it’s an aging building and whether or not it houses an extensive electrical system.

Whole house surge protection matters because without it, you can and very likely will find your favorite electrical appliances and electronics failing years before they would have otherwise. No appliance is immune—anything from your refrigerator to your charging cell phone can be negatively impacted and destroyed. Whole home surge protection provided by Air Mechanical, Inc. is a guaranteed way to prevent this from happening to your household. Contact us today for an appointment. 

Whole house surge protection installation involves adding a special protector unit at your home’s main electrical panel. This differs from the power strips you use inside your home because it protects against surges that originate from outside your property, such as during storms or equipment failures at your utility provider. The power strips you plug into your outlets protect against surges that come from your own electrical system.

Power Surges Occur When You Least Expect It

When you imagine what a power surge looks like, you probably think about it happening during a lightning storm or some other form of inclement weather. The fact is though, despite popular belief, weather events are not the cause of power surges generated today. In fact, modern power surges come from our electronics themselves—and the problem has been increasing with the addition of smart phones, mobile devices, computers, and more.

Therefore, it’s vital that your home is equipped with whole house surge protection, to guard against electronic mishaps. For instance, your air conditioning system can create a voltage spike that blows out another appliance within your home. Or, it may destroy a computer chip, a circuit board, or some other important electrical component. Without a whole house surge protection device installed in your home, you may experience serious damage to the electronics and appliances you and your family depend on the most. This can lead to costly repairs or replacements.

Is There Really a Need to Worry?

Power surges are becoming increasingly common. You might not even notice right away when one has occurred and impacted an appliance in your home. Usually, power surges don’t do major damage to your home’s electronics and appliances all at once. Rather, power surges slowly destroy electronics, by causing the components to degrade and eventually causing that electronic device or appliance itself to fail.

You cannot avoid this simply by using power strips—while these do provide minimal protection from small power surges, this is not their intended purpose—they are meant to be used as extension cords for multiple devices. You can, however, prevent power surges from zapping out your valuable electronics with whole house surge suppression.

Having an HVAC surge protective device in your home means you have complete protection for everything within your walls, not just a few items. You’ll also reduce your reliance on having multiple surge protector strips all over your house as well as the risk of electrical fires that could damage or even destroy your home. If you’re concerned about the safety of your home, this is one of the most important steps you can take.
