Protect Yourself From Power Surges
Power surges are caused by inductive loads that create voltage spikes. This can affect your electrical system in mere fractions of a second, causing damage to sensitive equipment. While many homeowners make the mistake of believing that it won't happen to them, our New Braunfels electrical experts believe it is always better to be safe than sorry.
What is a Surge Protector and How Does it Work?
A surge protector, also known as a surge suppressor, is a device that protects electronic devices from sudden voltage spikes and surges in the electrical supply. It works by diverting excess voltage away from the device and into the ground, thereby protecting the device from potential damage or failure.
The surge protector contains a metal oxide varistor (MOV) or gas discharge arrestor (GDT), which is designed to break down and conduct excess voltage when a surge occurs. This diverts the excess voltage away from the device and into the ground, protecting the device from the damaging effects of the surge.
What Types of Devices Can Be Protected by Surge Protectors?
Surge protectors are commonly used to protect computers, TVs, gaming systems, and other electronic devices that are sensitive to voltage fluctuations. They are available in different types and sizes, including power strips with built-in surge protection, wall-mounted surge protectors, and surge protectors designed for specific devices.
While surge protectors can help protect electronic devices from voltage surges, they do not provide protection against sustained overvoltage, brownouts, or power outages. It's also important to note that surge protectors have a limited lifespan and should be replaced periodically to ensure optimal protection.
Deciding What Kind of Surge Protector You Need
There are two main types of surge protector equipment to consider: Electrical service entrance surge protectors and whole house surge protectors. Service entrance surge protectors are usually installed before your main breaker panel is installed because power flows into the unit first. Therefore, a licensed electrician will need to disconnect your home's electricity to get this system up and running. This type of surge protector will help prevent very large surges from causing any damage. Whole home surge protectors are usually installed inside your main breaker panel. They can be designed to cover all your circuits or just a single circuit, and they can guard against large and small surges. We can help you to determine which type is most appropriate for your needs.

Protect Your Electrical Systems & Devices
When you think about your electrical system, you may not realize just how many appliances and electronic devices are hooked up to it and reliant on a single power source. If a power surge were to occur, any of these electrical devices could be damaged and need to be repaired or replaced. Investing in surge protection can help homeowners avoid this kind of destruction.
