Indian Wells Surge Protection
Our whole-house surge protectors offer an all-encompassing solution for all possible surge events. Like many homeowners in Indian Wells, you probably have surge protector cords supporting your most costly electronics.
People often plug their personal and gaming computers, home theater equipment, and gaming consoles into surge protector cords. These cords offer outlet-specific protection and greatly minimize the damages caused by voltage fluctuations.
They’re smart investments for protecting things used on standard 120-volt outlets.
However, outlet-specific surge protection doesn’t protect your outlets or other important features and additions throughout your electrical system.
- Electrical wiring
- Hardwired thermostats and smoke detectors
- Circuit breakers
- Appliances using 240-volt outlets
Without whole-home surge protectors, things like residential EV chargers, refrigerators, deep freezers, and washing machines can all sustain cumulative damages over time.
This is also true for ceiling fans, overhead lights, and light switches. Worse still, even a single power surge can cause instant and irreparable equipment damage throughout your home.
We offer an impressive selection of internal and external surge protectors so that homeowners can create multi-layer protection plans for their homes and electronics.
We help our clients choose whole-house surge protectors with the right National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) ratings and the correct energy absorption rates for their needs.
During a whole-home surge protector installation, we assess the integrity and age of electrical systems. Although both direct lightning strikes and utility service interruptions can cause power surges, most surge events originate inside buildings.
Also known as mini-surges and internal surges, these power surges occur when appliances draw too much power on a single circuit at once. For instance, you might notice your lights flicker just when your air conditioner or heat pump cycles on.
By upgrading outdated electrical features first, we minimize the frequency of internal surges and set the stage for successful whole-house surge protector installation.
We offer whole-house surge protectors when performing electrical panel upgrades. We also recommend installing these devices when adding standby generators, new HVAC equipment, and other big-ticket appliances.
Placing more demand on your electrical system increases the likelihood of internal surge events just when you have more valuable items to protect.
Other worthwhile electrical system improvements to include in your surge protector installation are fault breaker replacements, faulty wiring replacements, and repairs for loose or damaged electrical contacts and connections.
After preparing electrical systems for surge protector installation, we choose suitable mounting locations, mount surge protectors, and connect all wiring. We then test these installations and share maintenance and troubleshooting tips with our clients.
