Surge Protection

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is it?
A surge protective device protects your electrical wiring equipment and appliances from voltage surges and spikes that interfere with their normal operation.

What does it do?
Power surges can be generated from external sources outside such as lightening, or from internal sources such as other electronics and appliances. You may be unaware that surges can also enter through telephone lines and cable TV or satellite dish connections. These surges can cause immediate physical damage to your appliances, electronics and electrical wiring, wear them down over time or create interferences that cause them to malfunction. Leviton, a leading manufacturer of surge control devices, has developed an entire system to protect your home. Surge protection works by protecting your home’s electrical wiring and electrical service panel from outside surges with “point-of entry” devices and protecting your electronics and appliances inside your home with“point-of-use” devices.


What does it do for me?

The popularity of home offices, the Internet and home theaters means that there are more home electronics that are vulnerable to power surges than ever before. This equipment is an expensive investment and spending a little extra money on power surge protection before your home is built will result in long-term savings and give you peace of mind.

There are a number of options to help you make your home and its electrical wiring energy efficient and protect your valuable electronics from power surges. Planning ahead today… can make a different tomorrow.
