What Causes Electrical Surges?
Why should you invest in surge protection for your home? Surges can occur because of a number of problems. Some, like lightning strikes or sudden redirecting of voltage to your home when an engine is shut off, you cannot control. Others, like high demands for power, you may have some control over. Either way, these circumstances can happen regularly and often without warning, so you need to be protected.
Surges, or fluctuations in the electrical power in your home, can happen at any time without warning. While they are typically not noticeable to you, they happen more often than you think. Over time, regular, small surges wear down your appliances and electronics. Strong electrical surges can actually destroy these items in an instant. At LiveWire Electrical, we believe that you should be protected through whole-house surge protection for your Charlotte area home.
How Can You Protect Your Home?
At LiveWire Electrical, we have several options to help you protect your Charlotte area home. In some instances, whole-house surge protection is the best option. These are installed at your electrical panel or meter by one of our licensed electricians, protecting your home from any surges coming through the electrical supply.
Yet whole-house surge protection is just the starting point, as this cannot protect your devices from surges that occur within your home. For that, you need point-of-use surge protection. These plug directly into the outlet, then you plug the appliance or electronic device directly into the surge protector.
If you are concerned about the safety of your home and your appliances and electronics, take a closer look at surge protection.
