Whole Home Surge Protection
If you’ve noticed something even as seemingly inconsequential as a flickering light when you plug in or turn on any electrical equipment in your home, there’s a strong chance that you’re overloading your home’s main circuit. If that’s the case, you’ll need to take steps to protect your home from electrical surges. A whole house surge protection system will prevent any further damage from happening to your circuit board.
You will need to hire a professional electrician to help you set up the system, but once it’s installed, it’ll help to ensure the safety of your home and everyone in your household. It will also help to keep your electrical system as functional as possible.
Benefits of Surge Protection
Surge protection will prevent any major damages to your home’s electrical system. When you have any problems with your circuitry that are left untreated, it can lead to structural damages to your wiring, and that could wind up causing burns or fires within your home. Using any electrical device while you have circuits that are overloaded can also cause damage to the appliances themselves.
If your circuitry is experiencing problems with becoming overloaded, using any home appliances constantly, like you would a refrigerator, will create a higher risk for damage due to the electrical surges that the equipment experiences.
Our electricians will work to make sure that these risks are minimized by installing a surge protection system. Your surge protection system will redirect any excess energy that your electrical system generates back into the ground. This means that the different appliances you use with your electrical system, as well as the system itself, won’t be at risk of suffering damages.
Surge Protector Maintenance
Your surge protection system should be regularly inspected and maintained by a professional in order to ensure its full effectiveness and best performance. Managing the electric flow of an entire home is no easy task, and mismanagement of electrical surges could result in electrocution, damage to appliances, poor appliance performance, or house fires. Our electricians can make sure that your surge protector is able to adequately manage your home’s electrical flow.
You should never attempt to work on these systems on your own without professional training and experience. For any electrical problems in your home, always contact a professional electrician.
Always Hire a Professional Electrician
No matter how urgent any electrical repair may seem, it’s never okay to attempt to handle them on your own. Trying to take care of electrical problems without professional training is extremely dangerous. If you or someone else aren’t hurt during your attempt, there’s still a chance that you’ve left something undone that poses a huge risk to you, your home, or your family. In fact, faulty electrical wiring is the number one cause of house fires in the United States, according to the National Fire Protection Agency. So in order to make sure that your home is safe, always rely on a professional electrician for any electrical services.
Electrical Troubleshooting
Circuit breakers that keep tripping, a flickering light on the back porch, or an exhaust fan that just won’t work properly are a few of the common problems homeowners face that have something to do with their electrical system. But figuring out where the problems are stemming from can take a lot of training and knowledge. At D.O.C. Electric, our electricians will find out exactly what’s causing the problem(s), and what other issues may be happening—or beginning to happen. Then we’ll fix it right the first time.
