Whole-House Surge Protector Installation in Colorado Springs, CO

The Need for a Whole House Surge Protector Installation

We use a lot of energy. We’re quickly finding out that the modern home in Colorado Springs uses more energy than most houses can handle. Power surges are no longer just freak accidents due to lightning strikes or blackouts, they can happen just through using one appliance too many.

There are plug-in surge suppressors that can work to absorb some of this excess energy, but if you want full protection through storms and the sun, you want to invest in a whole home surge protector. 

Causes of Whole House Power Surges

If you experience frequent power surges, it could be due to several factors that are best diagnosed by one of our Master Electricians. It could be a fault in your wiring, or maybe even a shorted circuit or tripped breaker that is causing your electrical currents to surge and damage your appliances.

Though, as we said before, everyday use of electrical equipment is becoming the central cause of most power surges. Especially in the hotter months, running enough fans or plug-in coolers can cause a power surge that’ll leave you in a sweaty blackout. 

The most high-powered appliances that result in surges are HVAC systems that go through cycles, meaning washing machines and refrigerators. If you want to run these safely and without inconvenience, you want a whole house surge protector.

Installing Service Entrance Protection

A service entrance protector, otherwise known as a whole house surge protector, monitors all incoming utility power and protects the home from surges caused by the grid. This level of protection also covers cable and internet connectors, which are commonly used as conduits for surges.

With this installation taking note of the electricity as it tries to enter the home’s circuits, it’s able to detect a surge before it happens and divert the voltage out of harm’s way. This will allow you to run multiple appliances at once, while also protecting blackouts and other electrical errors outside your home.
