Whole Home Surge Protection in Central West Coast Florida
Many people don’t realize that power surges can happen during any time and anywhere. In fact, most homeowners think buying a power strip for their electronics will help in the event of an issue. While it will help protect that one appliance or monitor, it does nothing for your major appliances. This is where Climate Design Home Services can help by installing a whole home surge protector.
Protect Your Home Investment and Stop Power Surges
The fact is power surges don’t always come from lighting. Although, here in Florida we have our fair share of lighting strikes. However, many times power surges are caused by power outages, faulty wiring, and even electrical overloads and problems with the power grid. This is why it’s best to install a whole home surge protector from Climate Design Home Services. Our electricians can install a surge protector at your electrical panel and stop power surges from zapping your home appliances.
Rely on the Electrical Experts from Climate Design Home Services
With a whole home surge protector, you will receive greater protection against a wide range of voltages. To find out which surge protector offers the greatest protection, a Climate Design electrician will discuss a voltage protection rating with you. The lower the rating, the greater the range of protection and the more expensive the model. So, our licensed professionals will look at your home, your appliances, and discuss this and explain everything with you.
What Happens if My Home Has More than One Electrical Subpanel?
It’s always best to have your whole home surge protector at the main panel. Also, it’s a regulation that all new Florida home dwellings must have a whole home surge protector. This is a National Electrical Code (NEC 230.67). Depending on your electrical panel box set-up, you may need an additional surge protector. Also, if you have a subpanel, it doesn’t hurt to have an additional surge protector at that sub panel as well. This is especially true if your subpanel is more than 20′ away from your main electrical panel box. A Climate Design Home Services electrician can evaluate your electrical set-up and recommend the best positioning of surge protectors based on your electrical application.
How Much Does a Whole Home Surge Protector Cost?
This is one of those items that it really depends on a few factors. First, every electrical contractor has an internal labor rate that they use. Some rates are higher than others.
