Spring has just begun, meaning we are a short time away from the start of hurricane season. Perhaps you’ve already taken some steps to prepare, such as restocking your disaster supply and creating an evacuation plan for your family. But have you thought about your electrical system? This is a particularly vulnerable component of your home, and certainly not one to be ignored this time of year. This is where whole-house surge protection comes in. ## Why Whole-House Surge Protection? Surge protection is important because it protects valuable electronics and appliances within your home. Hurricanes bring high winds and lightning, both of which present the risk of power surges and electrical shortages. This damages your entire electrical system, not to mention the expensive electronics you have plugged in. Sure, you can try to protect your devices with power strips, but the level of protection required for today’s numerous electronics can simply not be had without a whole-house solution. ## How Does It Work?

If your electrical panel is full, your circuit breakers constantly trip, and/or your fuses blow constantly, then you are not using the electricity in your home effectively or safely.

The refrigerant in your air conditioning system acts as the heat transfer fluid for that system. It expands and absorbs heat from the air in your home during the summer season, and it is then cycled outside to your outdoor unit. There, it condenses, and the heat in the refrigerant is vented to the air outside.

Most Florida residents don’t think about the inner workings of their air conditioner until they have a problem. Hot weather is right around the corner and a properly working AC is essential to your comfort. There are a number of issues that could affect your air conditioner, especially if you have not scheduled an AC maintenance appointment in the last year.
