Whole-Home Surge Protectors in Central Oklahoma

Whole home surge protection not only protects your electronics, but it can also prevent damage to your appliances and larger equipment hooked up to your electricity. They can help protect your home from lightning strikes, power outages, and electrical fires so that you don't have to deal with electrical repairs. Surge protectors can protect all of your appliances, including:

• Air Conditioners
• Refrigerators
• Furnaces
• Ovens/Stoves
• Microwaves
• High-Definition TVs and Other AV Equipment
• Security and Surveillance Equipment
• Computers
• Gaming Consoles
• Other Appliances

A whole-home surge protector blocks electrical surges before they reach your expensive electronics. They can protect your home from a power surge overloading a circuit, which can lead to a power outage. While power strips and surge protector strips offer some protection for specific electronics, a whole home surge protector can protect your entire home from serious electrical surges caused by appliances or a severe storm during tornado season.

Power surges do not only happen during a severe thunderstorm. They can occur within milliseconds, and they tend to happen when appliances cycle on and off. As these appliances turn on and off, they will wear down the electrical wiring in your home and cause potential damage to your electronics or even a power outage. These power surges could be happening while you are completely unaware and are damaging your electronics and appliances. If your appliances and electronics have already sustained damage, be sure to contact the electricians Hunter Super Techs for electrical repair services.

1. Tree Limbs - Tree limbs are one of the most common causes of power surges since they often fall on powerlines. When the power comes back, that is also a danger to your wiring.
2. Restoration of Power - While most people think lightning strikes and inclement weather cause power surges, they don’t think of the moment the lights come back on after a blackout. A rush of electricity when power to your home is restored can also cause a surge.
3. Bad or Faulty Wiring - If you live in an old home or if your house doesn’t have proper wiring, it can cause a power surge. You can meet with one of our electricians to learn if your installation needs to be repaired or updated.

How much do you stand to lose by failing to account for these power spikes? The average insurance claim for power surges is about $5k, but you should think about more than the hardware. Not only that, but all the digital information and photos could be lost in a surge. Those can be priceless to some.

You can protect small portions of your home with a basic power strip that has surge protection built into it, but those offer minimal protection from serious electrical surges such as ones from lightning strikes or faulty wiring. The power surge still has to reach all the way to your electrical outlet and into the power strip, which does not offer much protection.

In comparison, whole home surge protectors are typically installed by a professional electrician throughout your home. They usually go to points of your home with high usage and a high volume of electricity running through them. The most common area to install a whole home surge protector is inside the main breaker panel. This is the hub for all electricity running through your home, so adding a surge protector there can help protect your whole home.

While this is the most common spot to install one, they can realistically be installed anywhere between the main breaker panel and the electricity meter. There are whole home surge protectors that connect to the main breaker panel and there are ones that connect to your home’s electricity meter. Both offer the same level of protection, so which one you choose is up to you and your electrician.

Power surges can occur at any time and can even happen without you knowing. Installing a whole home surge protector can give you the peace of mind that your entire home is fully protected from any potential power surges. You can focus your attention on more important matters during a thunderstorm instead of worrying about unplugging all of your electronics. They can also prevent electrical fires caused by a power surge, which can help put your mind at ease.

Some of the other benefits that come with installing a surge protector for your whole home can also include:

1. Extending the life of your appliances and other electrical devices
2. Reducing wasted energy and saving you money in the long run
3. Requiring little to no maintenance
4. More reliable and versatile than power strips
5. Easy to use
