Surge Protection & Grounding Systems
Why Surge Protection & Grounding Matter
Maintain your surge protection and grounding systems up-to-date to safeguard your home or business from electrical surges, lightning strikes, and voltage fluctuations. Our expert solutions ensure the safety of your electrical infrastructure, reduce the risk of equipment damage, and enhance the longevity of your devices.
Electrical surges, whether from lightning strikes, power grid fluctuations, or internal sources like large appliances, can cause significant damage to electronics and electrical systems. Proper surge protection and grounding prevent costly repairs, system failures, and potential fire hazards.
We work with top-quality manufacturers to provide comprehensive surge protection solutions, including whole-home surge protectors, panel-mounted devices, and advanced grounding systems that meet industry standards.
Whole-Home & Business Surge Protection
We install high-quality surge protectors at your main electrical panel to prevent voltage spikes from damaging appliances, computers, HVAC systems, and other critical equipment.
Point-of-Use Surge Protection
For added protection, we install point-of-use surge protectors at key outlets, safeguarding individual devices such as home entertainment systems, office computers, and industrial equipment.
Advanced Grounding Systems
A properly grounded electrical system is essential for electrical safety and surge mitigation. We design and install custom grounding systems that ensure excess electricity safely dissipates into the ground rather than damaging your property.
Lightning Protection Solutions
We implement lightning rods, surge suppressors, and bonding techniques to shield structures from lightning-induced electrical surges and prevent catastrophic failures.
Electrical System Inspections & Upgrades
We provide thorough electrical inspections to identify grounding issues and vulnerabilities in your surge protection system, recommending necessary upgrades to ensure compliance with the latest electrical codes.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Why do I need surge protection?
Surge protection safeguards your home or business from unexpected power surges caused by lightning, utility grid fluctuations, or large appliances cycling on and off, preventing costly equipment damage.
2. What’s the difference between whole-home surge protection and plug-in surge protectors?
Whole-home surge protectors are installed at the electrical panel to block surges before they enter your wiring system, while plug-in surge protectors provide additional localized protection for sensitive electronics.
3. How does grounding protect my electrical system?
A proper grounding system directs excess electricity safely into the earth, reducing the risk of electrocution, fire, and equipment damage during power surges or lightning strikes.
4. Can surge protectors prevent lightning damage?
While surge protectors help mitigate lightning-induced power surges, a full lightning protection system, including grounding and bonding, is recommended for complete protection.
5. How often should surge protectors be replaced?
Surge protectors degrade over time. Whole-home surge protectors should be inspected regularly and replaced every 5-10 years or sooner after a significant surge event.
6. How do I know if my home or business has proper grounding?
We offer professional electrical inspections to assess your grounding system and make necessary upgrades to ensure compliance with safety regulations.
7. Do you provide surge protection solutions for businesses?
Yes! We install industrial-grade surge protection systems tailored for commercial buildings, data centers, and manufacturing facilities to prevent costly downtime and equipment failures.
