The Benefits of Investing in a Surge Protector Installation

Floridians increasingly rely on sensitive electronics, from computers to smart thermostats to recharging stations and mobile devices. Here are three benefits of investing in a surge protector installation in Tampa, FL.

Steady Comfort

Power surges, whether external or internal stemming from ramped-up AC use, wear down HVAC components and can lead to costly repairs. Repeated or extensive damage may result in complete failure. A surge protector installation protects your AC from surges that lead to premature replacement and ensures steady indoor comfort for your family.

Increased Safety

One of the main reasons to invest in a surge protector installation is your family’s safety. Power surges can cause appliances to spark, creating a fire hazard. In addition, many older homes were built under less stringent requirements and can only handle 30 amps of power. Modern homes typically require 100 to 200 amps.

The added demand overloads circuits and, along with old or damaged wiring, can lead to electrical fires. Investing in new surge protectors also protects alarms, outdoor lights, door locks, and other home security devices.

Money Savings

High-surge events such as a lightning strike or an upsurge from your utility company can extensively damage your electronics, but even small, constant surges take a toll. The Surge Protection Institute explains that up to 80% of power surges happen inside a home or building.

Surges can result from hair dryers, computers, refrigerators, and even home theatre systems. Upgraded protectors will save you money by extending the life of your electronics, eliminating the replacement cost of food lost to spoiling, and protecting job income for those working from home.

One of the most significant reasons for a surge protector installation is the peace of mind it provides.
