Surge Protection Services and WHY It Matters!

Reliable Solutions for Preventing Power Surges

Protect all the valuable electronics in your home or business with surge protection products and services from Bolt Electric, a local, family-owned company. The average U.S. home experiences about 2,200 power surges each year. Most are so minor that they go unnoticed. Their accumulative effect can bring about an early end to air conditioning systems, water heaters, sound systems, and other systems or devices with a built-in microprocessor.

Major one-time power surges – such as what comes from a lightning strike or the sudden return of electrical power following an outage – are also devastating to these systems. However, we can help prevent power surges.

Once your home or business has been hit by a power surge, you understand how important surge protection is. Normal surge protectors are nice to have but cannot be relied on when you need them most. Despite having no more joules capacity, many at-home surge protectors will continue working, without protection, and you won't know it until a power spike damages your gear. 

We have an in-depth understanding of surge protection and how to develop a plan to protect your entire household or business. Our whole-house surge protectors are hard-wired to the service panel and include thermal fuses, lights, and alarms to notify you if your property has been hit. 

The entire home system is much more powerful than typical surge protectors available at a hardware store. With a simple electrical panel upgrade, these devices can withstand more than 10 times the amount of surge power. Our certified electrical contractors can install these surge protectors in as little as 2 hours and you will be protected in case of a sudden electrical surge.

Surge Protection Fills Insurance Policy Gaps

Power strips with surge protection are a good first line of defense against power surges, but their abilities are limited. That’s why we recommend installing whole-house surge protectors. A whole-house surge protector can absorb 100,000 amps or more of electricity per incident depending on the unit installed. This greatly reduces the risk of equipment damage.

As with everything we do, we prefer to install quality surge protectors with our starting unit capable of 108,000 amps of surge current and we have options able to withstand even larger loads of current protection, contact us to learn more.

It's important to know that most homeowners’ insurance carriers don’t cover the damage caused by a power surge. If a surge were to destroy or seriously damage your refrigerator or central air conditioning system, your out-of-pocket expense could be considerable.

Whole-house surge protectors also reduce the risk of a home fire.
