With whole-home surge protection, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your entire home is protected from electrical surges and overloads. Contact Built Electric today to schedule your installation and keep your home and devices safe.
What is a Surge Protector?
A surge protector is a device that protects electronics, electrical systems, and appliances from power surges and spikes. There are three types of surge protectors:
Type 1: Type 1 surge protectors are installed outside your home and only protect your home against external power surges such as lightning strikes or power restoration after an outage. They do not, however, prevent surges that happen inside your home.
Type 2: Type 2 surge protectors are hooked up to your home’s main electrical panel and protect your home from both external and internal power surges. Making it the most effective way to protect your home, appliances, and electronics!
Type 3: A type 3 surge protector is a portable one that is best used for small electronics like phones or laptops. They can be bought usually online or in electronic stores. They do not protect your appliances from surges or your home from external power surges.
We recommend installing a type 2 surge protector, otherwise known as whole-home surge protection, to protect your home from external and internal power surges and spikes.
Surge Protection Troubleshooting & Inspections
If you currently have a surge protector that we at Built Electric or some other electric company installed, we would be more than happy to come out to your home to inspect and troubleshoot the system. Surge protection troubleshooting and inspections are essential for maintaining the safety and effectiveness of your home’s electrical system. Over time, surge protectors can wear out or fail, leaving your electronics at risk. Regular inspections by a licensed professional can identify potential issues and ensure your system is working properly. If you’ve experienced power surges or noticed unusual behavior in your electronics, an inspection can prevent future damage and keep your home protected.
Why Choose a Professional for Whole-House Surge Protection?
Choosing a professional for whole-house surge protection is essential to ensure your home and electronics are fully safeguarded. At Built Electric, we provide licensed electricians who have the expertise to properly assess your home’s electrical system, install a surge protector that meets your specific needs, and ensure the system is up to code. Dealing with any home’s main electrical panel without the proper training is dangerous due to high amounts of voltage running within the panel. DIY installations or poorly installed surge protectors can leave your home vulnerable to electrical surges, which could cause costly damage to your appliances, electronics, and wiring. A professional installation provides the peace of mind that your home is comprehensively protected against power spikes, surges, and electrical overloads. Trusting the experts at Built Electric ensures your system is reliable and effective for years to come.
