Of the many details involved in taking adequate care of one’s home or property, an often neglected detail is assuring that there is whole-house surge protection. The lawn and yard must be properly maintained, the building must be painted periodically, and so on. Not to mention all of the mortgage paperwork, property taxes, utilities, rental agreements, etc. It is very easy to overlook whole house surge protection.
You may have never even considered getting whole-house surge protection. You might be aware that you need to have a surge protector. As long as you purchase one of those power strips with surge protection, your important electronic equipment is covered, right? Well, maybe not. If you didn’t carefully examine the package and study the specifications before you bought it, assuming that you knew what specs to look at when considering the purchase of a surge protector, then you may not have bought a surge protector at all.
You might have accidentally bought only a simple power strip instead. They look almost exactly like a surge protector, and at least a small percentage of consumers will buy a power strip, thinking that it has surge protection. The difference is that a surge protector has some electronic components and circuitry that inhibit too much power from escaping out of it. But it only protects the limited amount of devices that can be plugged into it. This is a very good reason to have a whole house surge protection system installed by a professional electrician in South Florida.
The alternating current is exactly that. The power fluctuates, sometimes higher, other times lower than the stated 120 volts. Why do you need whole house surge protection? Because there are occasions, like after a blackout when the power comes back on or during a storm when there is a lightning strike, or during routine maintenance down the block, when an excessive and sometimes even life-threatening amount of electricity can be disbursed from your electric sockets, destroying anything that’s plugged into it and threatening your property and even your very life. That is why a whole house surge protection system should be installed.
