Surge Protection in Auburndale, FL

Even though the modern electrical grid is safe and reliable, it isn’t perfect. Power surges remain an ever-present threat to your home and electronic devices, which can result from internal and external forces in your home. You likely have surge suppressors protecting sensitive electronics from internally originating surges. However, they won’t be sufficient for many externally originating ones. Top Flight Electric offers surge protection solutions in Auburndale, FL, to help. A whole home surge protector can be the shield your home needs to stay safe from large power surges.

Affordable Auburndale Surge Protection Service

The outlets in your home operate at either 120 or 240 volts. Most circuits operate at a maximum of 15 or 20 amps, with only significant appliances using larger ones. Most homes rely on electrical panels capable of accommodating up to 200 amps of electrical service. That said, the average lightning strike can produce a 30,000-amp surge in any part of the grid it hits. That’s enough to destroy almost anything plugged in inside your home. It’s also enough to cause electrical fires, magnifying the damage.

Considering that our area experiences an average of 90 thunderstorm days yearly, that’s a significant risk to your home. You can guard against that risk by installing whole home surge protection. It’s available as an add-on to your electrical panel. A whole house surge protector monitors your incoming electrical voltage in real time. If that voltage exceeds a preset clamp-down voltage, the device shunts the extra current to a safe ground.

Protects all circuits simultaneously

You should know that a whole home surge protector won’t prevent the need for plug-in surge protectors. That’s because many power surges originate inside your home. When large appliances turn on, they can create a power surge, and overloading a circuit may cause one. Plug-in surge protectors can prevent damage from those smaller surges and function as layered protection.
