Surge Protection

Protect your entire home from costly surges and spikes!

Electrical surges are sudden, unexpected spikes in voltage that travel throughout your home’s electrical system. Many homeowners are unaware of the hundreds of power surges their home receives per day. In order to protect all of your valuable electronics and appliances, we recommend scheduling an appointment with Powell Electric today!

Some surges come from within your home, such as turning on a vacuum cleaner or sending a document to your printer. Other surges come from outside your home, as in electric utility switching, downed power poles, cut power lines, and lightning strikes. Surges can even enter through cable televisions and telephone wiring.

Why Does My Home Need Surge Protection?

Almost every home in the area has expensive electronic equipment and appliances such as TVs, air conditioning units, water heaters, refrigerators, entertainment equipment, hot tubs, computers, and the like. All of these appliances or electronics listed require the use of your home’s electric circuit boards.

How Much Does It Cost?

Home Surge Protection is very affordable – call Powell Electric now for more information!

What is an Example of a Power Surge Causing Damage?

For example: If lightning struck a home or somewhere around it, a surge may go through the electrical system and anything that is plugged in can get “fried”, no matter if it is on or off. We receive several calls every month from customers that have this happen. They end up having to pay out of pocket to replace these appliances. All of this, however, could be prevented with whole-home surge protection.

Statistics:

• A five-year survey of power quality in North America indicated that per household there are 35 disruptive or destructive power disturbances per year.
• Deregulation of the electric utility industry is expected to decrease the quality of utility power in the near future.
• Annually, 30% of power outages are lightning regulated.
• Five percent of all insurance claims are lightning related, amounting to over $1 billion per year.
