Your home is full of electronics, from your TV and computers to your furnace control board, air conditioner, refrigerator, and washer. A single power surge can damage any of them. Haining provides whole home surge protector installation in Grand Junction to protect everything connected to your electrical system, not just what’s plugged into a power strip.
What Whole-Home Surge Protection Does
A whole-home surge protector installs at your electrical panel. When a surge comes in from the utility line or another source, the device diverts the excess voltage safely to ground before it can reach the circuits in your home.
Surges come from several directions:
- Lightning strikes on or near power lines, especially during summer thunderstorms on the Western Slope
- Utility switching and power restoration after an outage
- Large appliances inside your home cycling on and off, like air conditioners and furnace motors
Small, repeated surges from inside the home don’t make headlines, but over time they wear down the electronic components in appliances and HVAC equipment.
Today’s appliances depend on circuit boards. Furnaces, air conditioners, heat pumps, refrigerators, washers, and garage door openers all contain electronics that a surge can damage, and replacing one of those components often costs far more than protecting it. Because Haining services heating and cooling equipment, we know how much depends on those control boards, and how inconvenient a failure is in the middle of summer or winter.
