The energy department once stated that every home in the United States encounters up to 300 power surges in a single year. Unfortunately, there’s nothing you can do about it. Rather, you can only protect your electrical appliances from the impact of power surges with help of commercial surge protection.
This is why we advise you to install surge protection devices as quickly as possible. A power surge happens in seconds, and within that period, it could fry all your appliances. If you’re yet to install surge protection devices in your office and home, you need to consider the following reasons.
Technology keeps advancing, and we all make use of many electrical appliances. We all use laptops, notebooks, digital cameras, smartphones, tablets, iPods, Bluetooth radio, CCTV cameras, and other appliances. All these devices get plugged into outlets.
If a power surge strikes when they are plugged into outlets, they will all get fried. For devices like a laptop, you won’t only worry about buying another one, but you’ll also worry about lost files. Many companies never fully recover from the effects of a devastating power surge. Don’t wait until it happens to you.
If you own properties that are rented for official or residential purposes, and a power surge damages the appliances of your tenants, they may file lawsuits against you. Even if you eventually win the case, you’ll still pay for legal services, and this doesn’t come cheap.
Burned wires and electrical appliances could ignite a fire. Material things can be replaced, but what about human lives? The best time to install surge protection devices is now.
There’s nothing like peace of mind. After installing the right surge protective device, your mind will be at rest that when a surge strikes, your electrical appliances will be safe. Remember, the installation of the devices comes at a cost, but the cost is nothing compared to the replacement of damaged appliances.
Now that you have seen some of the reasons why surge protection is a must, you may want to hire a service provider at random – not so fast. We have seen situations where installed surge protective devices failed to mitigate the impact of a surge. And the surge caused collateral damage.
So, the expertise and experience of your electrician also matter. That’s why you need to hire the best in the business. At Blessed Electric & Air, we have been installing power surge protective devices for some years, and none of them has ever failed.
When you contact us for the installation of surge protective devices, we’ll come over to see the electrical architecture of your building, and we’ll also inspect your electrical systems. They have to be effective for surge protectors to work.
For instance, if your electrical system isn’t properly grounded, the protective devices may not be effective. Let’s quickly explain how a surge protector works. Power surges push excessive voltage into electrical systems, and surge protectors respond by diverting the excess voltage to the grounding system. This can only work if your grounding system is effective.
So, we must inspect your entire electrical architecture before we recommend the most suitable protective devices for your building. We’d also like to tell you that protective devices vary in quality. By virtue of our experience, we know the devices with the highest quality.
If necessary, we may also have to upgrade your electrical panel and wiring. Power surge protective devices work best in highly efficient electrical systems.
