Brace for the Storms with Whole-House Surge Protection

If you have a surge protector plugged into one outlet for your computer and similar technology, those items will have that protection. However, the rest of your home may be at risk. Additionally, a single electrical surge might be enough to fry the protector and risk your devices. Find out why a whole-house surge protector is the best alternative.


Reduce Safety Risks with a Whole-House Surge Protector in Montclair, NJ

Although a lightning strike might be rare, it’s essential to prepare for the possibility. That’s because one lightning strike could cause an energy surge powerful enough to cause electrical arcs or melt your wiring. 


A whole-house surge protector will guard against surges of at least 40,000 amps. This is enough to block high electrical charges from lightning strikes or other external surges. This reduces the risks of electrocution or electrical fires during a severe storm.

Protect Your Electrical Devices and Appliances

Anything you plug into an outlet in your home is at risk if there’s a surge in your wiring. In many cases, small surges occur without anyone noticing them. These smaller interior surges can damage devices and appliances gradually over time. 


This risk is much greater when there’s a storm and you haven’t installed a whole house surge protector in Montclair, NJ.


Guard Against Traveling Surges

If your home experiences an energy surge during a storm, it’s important to remember that it will affect more than one outlet or light fixture. Often, one surge can affect multiple outlets in the same part of the home. A power strip with surge protection in one of those outlets is insufficient. 


A whole house surge protector in Montclair, NJ, will protect every outlet and light fixture in your home. Additionally, it will keep a strong surge from traveling back to your electrical panel, where it can damage your home’s entire system.
