Whole-house surge protectors are an important piece of equipment for any home or business. They provide protection from power surges that can damage electronics, appliances, and other expensive equipment. Although there are many benefits to having a whole-house surge protector, several essential benefits make them a must for homes and businesses.

Decreased Damage to Electronics

As we noted, power surges can cause significant damage to appliances and electronics. Even minor surges can cause heat buildup and damage sensitive components; this can potentially lead to costly repairs or replacements. By installing a whole house surge protector from Five Star Home Services, you can protect your electronics from power surges and decrease the risk of expensive repairs. You end up protecting your electronics and in the event of a power surge, save money – not to mention the added home value for having this essential safety feature!

Protect from Lightning Strikes

Lightning strikes are spectacular—until they hit your home or electrical line. Then, they aren’t much fun, and that awe you see in nature comes with tremendous cost. Lightning can cause power surges that damage electronics and appliances. By installing a whole-house surge protector, you can protect your home and business from lightning strikes. The surge protector absorbs energy from the lightning strike, protecting your electronics and appliances from damage.

Decreases Your Electric Bill

Power surges can cause your electrical system to draw more power than necessary, resulting in higher electric bills. By installing a whole-house surge protector, you can reduce the amount of power your electrical system draws, resulting in lower electric bills. In this regard, you save money in the long run.

Decrease the Risk of Fire

Safety is always a top priority. Because power surges can cause heat buildup in your electrical system, leading to a potential fire hazard, installing a whole house surge protector puts safety first. This way, homeowners can reduce the fire risk caused by a power surge.
