Why Use Whole-House Surge Protection?

When you live in Florida, hurricane season is a very real concern. We suffer through some pretty serious storms throughout the season, and the high winds and lightning strikes can prove very problematic, to say the least, for our electrical systems.

When you live in Florida, hurricane season is a very real concern. We suffer through some pretty serious storms throughout the season, and the high winds and lightning strikes can prove very problematic, to say the least, for our electrical systems. In order to protect your home, your electrical system, and the convenience with which you go about your day, we advise that you consider the use of a whole-house surge protection system in Delray Beach, FL. Such systems must be professionally installed and serviced by professional electricians if they are to operate safely and properly, of course. That is why you should schedule your whole-house surge protection services with the professionals at All-Pro Electrical & Air Conditioning.

How It Works

A whole-house surge protector differs greatly from the small power strips that you may use in your home office or throughout the house. These power strips may offer some level of protection to those devices that are plugged directly into them. They are far from comprehensive in their protection, though, and cannot rival that of a whole-house surge protection system. A whole-house surge protector is a permanent installation in your electrical system, hard wired into it at the service panel. This allows a whole-house surge protector to handle any power surges before they ever even make it onto your circuits. You don't have to worry about ensuring that all of your valuable electronic devices are plugged into a surge protector, because a whole-house surge protector protects the entire electrical system. You must remember that, even if you were to use power strips with surge protection capabilities at every outlet in your home, this is not the only way in which a power surge can make it into your system. Phone lines and television cables can also introduce excessive amounts of electricity onto the system. Protect your home, your comfort and your convenience by using a whole-house surge protector on your property.
