Pictures of lightning look really neat, but it isn’t so neat when lightning strikes your home in Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, Wellington, Lake Worth, Boynton Beach, West Palm Beach, FL, and the surrounding areas. Without the right surge protection, lightning can destroy a lot of different devices that are connected to your home’s electrical grid. At Kasper Electrical, we install whole home surge protection devices that act like an electrical filter, keeping out high current or voltage and instead directing it into the ground. And while lightning strikes are one source of power surges, they can also happen due to downed power lines (which usually happen during strong storms), blackouts, damaged wiring, and other reasons. And these days there are more devices than ever that are using electricity, and many of these devices are not inexpensive to replace. Contact us today to learn more about adding a whole home surge protection device to your home’s electrical system.
Modern Appliances Are More Than Just a Motor
Think about the refrigerator in your home. Several decades ago, they were simpler in construction with only a condenser motor to help keep things cold. These days, not only do you have the refrigeration unit on them, but you also have things like cameras to show you what is in your fridge without having to open the door, and AI will take an inventory and provide you with a digital readout on the door of what you have. And this is just one appliance, and you likely have several of these with your washing machine, dishwasher, and other appliances.
But don’t forget your smartphone that needs to be powered up from time to time. And your laptop that you work on, and your gaming system. All of these can be damaged with a power surge that isn’t redirected away from your home’s wiring. Many of us use power strips with surge protection, so a whole home surge protection is the same thing on a larger level.
Keep Your Point-Of-Use Surge Protectors
A whole home surge protection device helps to deal with the large surges in power that could cause dramatic damage to your entire home’s electrical system. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t use point-of-use surge protection, especially for more sensitive items that require a smooth and conditioned electrical supply. Together, these devices will give you peace of mind when storms roll through and lightning strikes.
Your home in Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, Wellington, Lake Worth, Boynton Beach, West Palm Beach, FL, and the surrounding areas is a large investment, and that includes your electrical system. Why not keep things protected with a whole home surge protector from Kasper Electrical. Contact us today to learn more about these important devices and schedule a time for our certified electricians to install one in your home.
