Surge Protection Installation in Bedford
While many of us invest in surge protectors for our computers, did you know that you should be installing more than that? Surges can affect any electronic device in your home, from your stove to your dishwasher, nothing is safe without surge protection.
While many homes have whole house surge protectors installed when they are built, this is not always the case. And, while dangerous, power surges aren’t always easy to be aware of.
At Your House Remodeling LLC, we know electricity. We also know what’s out there in Bedford that can damage your electronic devices. Give us a call today to start making a surge protection plan for your home.
Large Appliance Surge Protection
Sensitive equipment is most vulnerable to electrical surges. As licensed electricians, we are asked daily about a wide range of appliances and devices and what surge protection is best for each. While single outlet surge protectors are most often used for computers and TVs, whole house surge protectors cover just about everything.
Large appliances are not as vulnerable as smaller devices. For example, when an internal surge occurs it is because one appliance has suddenly shut off, routing power to the other appliances that are currently on. Large appliances are going to be able to handle this change, whereas smaller devices cannot.
Computer Surge Protection
Believe it or not, that surge protector power bar you purchased at the computer store isn’t doing all it can. There are four types of surge protectors on the market.
- Whole house surge protectors for interior surges
- Whole house surge protectors for exterior surges
- Single outlet surge protectors for residential use
- Single outlet surge protectors for industrial use
Interior surges are caused by device shutdown, while exterior surges are caused from sources such as lighting and storms. For Bedford homes experiencing regular power surges, whole house as well as single outlet are going to be your best bet.
