Power surges can strike at any time, damaging appliances, frying electronics, and even putting your home’s electrical system at risk. While many homeowners rely on power strips for protection, these offer limited defense against high-voltage spikes. A professionally installed whole-home surge protection system provides complete protection, ensuring your home and valuable devices are safe from electrical surges. At Sierra Pacific Home & Comfort, Inc., we specialize in surge protection solutions that keep your electrical system secure.
How Does Whole Home Surge Protection Work?
Whole-home surge protection acts as a shield for your electrical system, blocking harmful voltage spikes before they reach your appliances and electronics. Unlike plug-in surge protectors, which only safeguard specific devices, a whole-home surge protector is installed directly at your electrical panel, providing comprehensive protection for everything in your home.
When a surge occurs—whether from a lightning strike, power grid fluctuation, or high-powered appliances turning on and off—the surge protector detects the excess voltage and diverts it safely into the ground. This prevents sudden power spikes from overloading and damaging sensitive electronics such as TVs, computers, HVAC systems, and kitchen appliances.
Many modern homes have an increasing number of smart devices and expensive electronics, making whole-home surge protection more important than ever. At Sierra Pacific Home & Comfort, Inc., we install top-tier surge protection systems that keep your home safe, reduce the risk of electrical fires, and help extend the lifespan of your electrical devices.
The Causes of Power Surges
Power surges can happen for several reasons, some of which are completely unpredictable. One of the most common causes is lightning strikes, which can send thousands of volts through power lines, overwhelming home electrical systems. While Sacramento doesn’t experience frequent lightning storms, a single strike near your home can be devastating if you don’t have the right protection.
Another common cause of surges comes from the power grid. Utility companies may perform grid switching, or sudden power restorations after an outage can send excessive voltage into your home. If you’ve ever noticed lights flickering after a storm or during peak usage hours, your home could be experiencing these fluctuations.
Large appliances, such as refrigerators, air conditioners, and washing machines, also contribute to internal power surges. When these appliances cycle on and off, they create brief surges that, over time, can wear down your home’s electrical system. A whole-home surge protector helps regulate these fluctuations, keeping your electrical system stable and secure.
