Surge Protection Devices from Mission CriticalGard & Illuminations Lighting Design protect your electronic investments.


With today's modern homes, whole house surge protection devices are necessary components that safeguard all electronic systems against power surges, voltage fluctuations, voltage spikes and minor lightning strikes. Sure, most people have a surge protector on their computer. But did you know that you could protect your whole house, along with all your electrical investments, using one surge protection device?

If you think about it, just about everything in your house has some kind of electronic component built-in the device. These include appliances, HVAC systems, garage door openers, televisions, stereo equipment, telephones and satellite systems. It could add up to hundreds if not thousands of dollars if you had to replace these electronic devices due to a power surge. It is not uncommon for a high definition plasma TV, for example, to cost over $10,000--not to mention the associated components. Installing a Mission CriticalGard Surge Protection System from Illuminations will give you peace of mind and assurance that your investments are protected day or night, twenty four hours a day.

Why Do You Need Surge Protection Devices?

Minimize Life & Safety Issues
Greatly Reduce Repair or Replacement Costs
Minimize Power Quality Risks
Reduce Power Interruptions
Extend Equipment Life

What Are Indoor and Outdoor Threats?

Switching
The simple act of turning on or off a light, motor, appliance or other electrical device can disturb the electrical current and create surges or transients. In general, the larger the load, the greater the disturbance when the load is switched on or off. Studies have shown that the majority of transients, roughly 80%, are generated inside a given building.

Lightning Strikes
Lightning strikes the United States 90 million times per year for an estimated 56 billion dollars in property damage annually. It is responsible for approximately 30,000 building fires annually and causes 30% of all power outages.

Utility Grid
When demands fluctuate, the utility companies have to increase or decrease power resources. This switching can cause massive surges in your home and result in extensive damage throughout the house.

Disruption
Any occurrence that causes a disruption on the utility grid causes a surge in voltage. Even common occurrences such as tree limbs falling, auto accidents, and thunderstorms can create a disruption.

Utilities
Cable TV and telephone wires can also contribute to unwanted variations in voltage from the pole to your house, causing damage to electronic devices.
