Surge Protection in Dallas

Preserve Your Electronic Devices Today

As technology advances, our homes contain more and more devices that require electricity to work. Additionally, we tend to rely on these devices more and more which is why it’s important to ensure that you have a steady stream of electricity running through your home at all times. However, power surges pose a significant threat to such devices. Although they’re not always noticeable, you tend to experience around 20 power surges a day. This can leave incredible strain on your electronic devices and may even shorten their lifespans.

To help prevent this and ensure you always have a steady flow of electricity , we can install surge protection. This is an easy way to protect your electronic devices and avoid any potential hazards, such as an electrical fire. Our team at ElectricMan has over 35 years of experience and all of our electricians are licensed and insured.

What Causes Power Surges?

When your devices are plugged in, a steady current of electricity flows from your utility company to your electrical panel. This electricity is then routed from your electrical panel to your outlets and thus your devices are powered up. If the current is steady, it is easy to monitor the electricity and avoid any damage to your devices. However, the minute the current becomes unsteady, or spikes, it results in a power surge.

A Few Different Things Can Causes Power Surges, Including:

• High-demand electrical devices
• Lightning
• Power outages or downed power lines
• Tripped circuit breakers or faulty wiring

How Surge Protectors Work

There are two main types of surge protectors our team at ElectricMan installs: whole-home and point of use. Point of use surge protectors are great for protecting the devices that are plugged into them. However, if you’re worried about all of the devices in your home, we recommend installing a whole-home surge protector. These are installed directly into your electrical panel and work by restricting any over-voltage from the electrical company. This helps prevent any spikes from reaching and damaging your devices and appliances.

Ensuring Your Property Is Always Protected

Because of our increasing reliance on technology and electrical devices, it’s important to make sure that you won’t have to deal with any interruptions to your power source. At ElectricMan, our Dallas surge protection technicians have a reputation for being reliable and trustworthy. Preserve the lifespan of your devices today.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a whole home surge protector and why do I need one? 

• A whole home surge protector is a device installed at your home's main electrical panel to protect all your appliances and electronics from power surges. These surges can be caused by lightning strikes, power outages, or sudden changes in power supply from the grid. In Dallas, where thunderstorms are common, having a whole home surge protector is crucial to prevent costly damages and extend the lifespan of your electronic devices.

How does a point of use surge protector differ from a whole home surge protector? 

• A point of use surge protector is typically a power strip or outlet device that protects specific appliances or electronic devices from surges. In contrast, a whole home surge protector safeguards all electrical circuits in your home. While point of use protectors are great for added protection, they should be used in conjunction with a whole home surge protector for comprehensive coverage.

What are the benefits of installing a whole home surge protector?

The benefits of installing a whole home surge protector include:

• Comprehensive Protection: Safeguards all your home’s electrical devices, from major appliances to delicate electronics.
• Cost Savings: Prevents damage to expensive electronics and appliances, saving on repair and replacement costs.
• Peace of Mind: Provides reassurance during storms and power fluctuations common in Dallas.

What is power conditioning, and do I need it for my home?

• Power conditioning involves improving the quality of power delivered to your electrical devices. It helps to filter out electrical noise, regulate voltage, and provide clean and stable power. In areas with inconsistent power supply, like some parts of Dallas, power conditioning can protect sensitive electronics and improve their performance and longevity.
