A home surge protection system also referred to as SPD, is a filter that will block high current or voltage, allowing only safe electrical current into a property. This kind of filter provides many benefits that will make the investment worthwhile.
Here are the benefits of installing a surge protection system:
Electrical system protection
Most power surges come from the outside. It may be due to an electrical storm, lightning, or over-voltage from the utility line. No matter the source, a surge reaching a home's electrical system may cause significant damage.
The SPD protects the electrical system's wiring, circuits, and sockets. Damage caused by power surges to the electrical system can be expensive. A professional electrician is experienced in the many benefits of the SPD system and can make the installation quick and efficient.
Home appliances protection
Every home has many electrical appliances that can get damaged when dangerous current levels reach them. An SPD works as a filter for high voltage preventing it from entering the household.
Home safety
Having electrical problems goes beyond a damaged appliance or the expensive repair cost of an electrical problem. On occasion, electrical issues can also start a fire. Installing a home surge protection system is the perfect way to ensure household safety.
Short transient surges protection
Small surges do not always come from the outside. They can also be produced inside the house. High-power appliances such as an air conditioner motor can occasionally have small surges. This will not damage the other appliances immediately. However, they will compromise the proper functioning and lifespan of these appliances.
When experiencing surge issues inside the house, the best solution is to call a professional electrician. An expert will be able to identify the source of the surge and install an SPD that will protect appliances that may be in danger.
One SPD for every need
Home surge protection systems have different characteristics to meet every household's needs. Most houses operate on a 120V system, making the 80 kA-rated SPD the best alternative. Surges higher than 10 kA are rare, but they can still occur. Contact a professional electrician to ensure the correct filter is installed on the property.
Electrical safety first
Many homeowners have never considered the potential damage a surge could cause to their homes. Every appliance is in jeopardy of suffering irreparable harm due to high currents. Whether the surge comes from outside or inside the property, a home surge protection system is the best alternative to ensure the performance and lifespan of every electrical device. Contact a professional electrician to assess the electrical system properly, provide helpful advice on the correct SPD system for the house's needs, and perform a quick and efficient installation.
