Whole-House Surge Protector Services in Jacksonville

We Can Help Keep Your Electronics Damage-Free

Oh, the weather outside is frightful…

But not exactly in the same way conjured up in the Christmas classic, “Let it Snow.”

Here in Florida, we play a constant game of “wait and see” when it comes to tropical storms, hurricanes, electrical storms…and let’s not forget a brown out caused by a downed power line or problems with the power grid.

But here’s the thing: you really should do more than wait and see based on the kind of damage power surges can cause your home electronics:  everything from Play Station, home computers, water heater, appliances, and AC system. In fact, a power surge can inflict enough damage to render such electronics ruined, and that means money spent to replace them. Even worse, most homeowner insurance policies don’t cover. Ouch!

Understanding Power Surges: Causes and Effects

A power surge can result from several different causes, including:

  • A spike in electrical current when you turn on a high-power device
  • Faulty wiring that can cope with a surge of power
  • Tripped circuits
  • Short circuits
  • Direct Lighting strikes or even those that strike close to a nearby power line

Also, let’s say you lose power and forget to unplug and turn off home electronics. When the power returns, those same electronics can incur substantial damage.

Effective Strategies for Preventing Power Surges in Your Florida Home

Power surges can cause damage to your electrical appliances and devices, leading to costly repairs or replacements. To prevent power surges in your home, consider the following tips:

  • Install surge protectors on your major appliances and electronics.
  • Unplug devices during thunderstorms or when not in use for an extended period.
  • Have a licensed electrician inspect your home's wiring for any potential issues.
  • Avoid overloading outlets with too many devices plugged in at once.

By taking these preventative measures, you can protect your home's electrical system and avoid the inconvenience of power surges disrupting your daily life. If you have any concerns about power surges in your home, don't hesitate to contact our Jacksonville emergency electrical services team for assistance.

Commonly Asked Questions

What should I do if my electronics get damaged by a power surge?

If your electronics are damaged by a power surge, it's important to first document the damage with photographs and receipts. Then, contact your homeowner's insurance provider to check if the damage is covered under your policy. If it's not covered, you may need to consider replacing the items or seeking repair services.

How often should I have my electrical wiring inspected?

It's recommended to have your electrical wiring inspected at least every 5 to 10 years, or sooner if you notice any issues such as flickering lights, frequent circuit breaker trips, or any signs of wear and tear. Regular inspections can help identify potential problems before they lead to power surges.

Are there specific surge protectors I should look for?

When choosing surge protectors, look for those with a high joule rating, which indicates the amount of energy it can absorb. Additionally, consider models with features such as indicator lights that show protection status and those that offer warranty or equipment protection guarantees.

Can power surges affect my home’s HVAC system?

Yes, power surges can significantly affect your HVAC system, potentially damaging its electronic components and control systems. To protect your HVAC system, consider using a surge protector specifically designed for HVAC units and having regular maintenance performed on the system.

What are some signs that my home might be experiencing electrical issues?

Signs of electrical issues in your home may include flickering or dimming lights, buzzing sounds from outlets or switches, the smell of burning insulation, warm or discolored outlets, and frequent tripping of circuit breakers. If you notice any of these signs, it's essential to consult a licensed electrician.

Power Surge Protection from Bolt Electric

Power strips with surge protection should be used as a first line of defense.  And yet the amount of protection they provide is limited.

That’s why we also recommend a whole-house surge protector expertly installed by Bolt Electric.  A whole-house surge protector can absorb up to 40,000 amps of electricity per incident to help minimize the risk of damage to home electronics.
