Watertown Whole House Surge Protector

Protecting Electronics from Power Surges in Lake Mills and Watertown

The modern home has a lot of expensive electrical devices. This includes everything from entertainment systems to computers and household appliances. But, without proper surge protection, every one of these items is potentially one lightning strike away from damage. Even if a device survives a brownout or power outage, the damage done to it can greatly reduce its lifespan, resulting in early replacement. And, contrary to popular belief, 80 percent of power surges come from inside the home and often go unnoticed. This means your new flat screen may be slowly ticking away its lifespan without you knowing it.

Well, if you’re like most people, the idea of wasting money is as unpleasant as a hangnail or root canal. Fortunately, our comprehensive whole-house surge protector installation service, lets you banish the thought. Don’t let a brownout pull one over on you. Maximize the life of the appliances you depend on every day.

A sudden spike in the voltage in your electrical system is a power surge. Small ones happen all the time, often triggered by turning on a new appliance. These miniature ones are rarely large enough to cause widespread electrical damage, however. In most cases, the really dangerous stuff comes from outside of your home. The most frequent causes of major power surges in Watertown include:

Surges can come through any type of wire, including cable, telephone, and electrical. No matter where it’s from, the excess voltage can quickly destroy anything that’s plugged in. This includes appliances, TVs, computers, and water heaters.

Why Everyone in Watertown Needs a Home Surge Protector

As you read this, you might be staring at a standalone surge protector. These small plug-in devices are typically added to an outlet to provide extra space. They also claim to protect sensitive electronics against the negative effects of surges. While this is true—in part—these items are typically cheap and poorly equipped to handle a major surge. They also only insulate the devices directly plugged into them. This leaves the rest of your home vulnerable. And, of course, they’re ugly and unsightly with glowing off switches and uninspired, minimal designs. In short, they’re not a true solution to the risk of a power surge.

The best way to protect your home in Watertown is to have an electrician install a whole-house surge protector. This device attaches to your electrical panel, providing the following benefits:
