Protect Your Home or Business from Power Surges with Renegade Electrical

In order to understand the importance of surge protection, you first need to understand a few key points.

*First*

It’s 2023. Your home is full of sensitive electronics.

You have Phones, TVs, Radios, Computers, Laptops, Printers, Gaming Consoles, Microwaves, Refrigerators, Ranges, Dishwashers, Coffee makers, Air Conditioners, Furnaces, Electric Fireplaces, Electric Vehicles, EV Chargers, Lawn Mowers, Smart Doorbells, Security Cameras, Smart mirrors, Routers, LED lights, GFCIs, AFCIs, Dimmers, Smoke Detectors, Musical Instruments, Ceiling Fans, Washing Machines, Dryers, and Smart Home Management Hubs.

There are tons more, but the point remains, your home is LOADED to the brim with sensitive electronics.

*Second*

Odds are you’re connected to some form of public utility, whether it be Gas, Water, Sewer, or Telecomm. If you’re connected to a public utility, you’re also electrically bonded to this utility.
So is your neighbor, and the guy 3 blocks down. You’re all electrically connected to each other.

*Third*

With you being bonded to a public utility, this means that if you, or any of your neighbors experiences a power surge or lightning strike, EVERYONE bonded to that utility experiences a surge or lightning strike.

*Fourth*

Power Surges (transient voltages) can occur from a myriad of things.
The most common and severe being lightning strikes.
With other sources being Blown Transformers from the utility,
Line faults from the utility (think of a tree limb leaning against the power lines),
Faulty or failing motors (like a bad HVAC system),
Electrical Arcing,
and Static Discharge as well.

What does this all mean?

It is incredibly likely that you will experience a transient voltage (surge) at some point.
When this happens, it will cause thousands of dollars of equipment damage.

How do I protect myself from this?

To mitigate this risk, we install Surge Protective Devices.
These SPDs essentially acts as a safety net to “catch” these voltage spikes, and dissipate them before they have a chance to do serious equipment damage.

Give us a call, and we’ll have our team design a structured Surge Protection System to meet your needs.
