Whole House Surge Protection is the only sure way to protect all your electronic investments.
Why is whole house surge suppression the very best safeguard against the hazards of transient surge?
Because technology has evolved to the point that virtually every electronic device in today’s home contains a printed circuit board like the type found in computers. Professionally installed whole house surge suppression is the only reliable safeguard against catastrophic equipment failure. Whole house surge suppressors also safeguard against fluctuations of power in rural areas known as “dirty power.” These fluctuations occur due to long distances between small communities and generating stations, and they will often wreck havoc on kitchen lighting systems, satellite dishes, kitchen appliances, home audio automation, and of course, computers.
Many people remain unaware of these hazards, believing that retail power strips traditionally used to shield computers and printers are all that is required to protect sophisticated electronics. This is a dangerous myth to place faith in, because in today’s world virtually every subsystem coming from the service provider is a potential threat that requires whole house surge suppression to counter.
Can I install a whole house surge suppressor myself?
You can but, we do not recommend this. These devices are difficult for the self-trained electrician to correctly install — and almost impossible for the novice. It is better to invest in the services of a certified electrical contractor such as ILD who has the training and experience required to choose the right device and to configure it for optimal home protection. This brings home electrical generators, commercial grade service and technology to the residential environment in the safest and most affordable fashion when one considers the long term benefits that result.
Illuminations Lighting Design offers the best whole house surge suppression technology combined with over 20 years of training and experience.
Exactly what does whole house surge suppression protect?
The most important thing it protects is the electrical panel itself that controls and modulates the distribution of power into the house. Many homeowners are surprised when they learn that newer electrical service panels also contain printed circuit boards just like computers. If the voltage spike of a transient power surge reaches a panel, the panel itself can burn out and thus destroy devices and systems throughout the home.
Illuminations Lighting and Design can minimize the likelihood of catastrophic power loss with sophisticated whole house surge suppressors engineered to block transient surge from dirty power and lighting. Our typical size whole house surge suppressor has been will block fluctuations of up to 300,000A and is only 50% the size of equivalent devices.
Larger and smaller units are also available based upon the size of the panel and the total capacitance of the new home wiring systems and installed components. Most people in larger homes now have up to four televisions and one wall-sized plasma TV. We often enter such dwellings to find that the plasma TV is plugged directly into the wall—and therefore waiting to be the first device destroyed without effective whole house surge suppression to protect it. Other home automation systems like security alarms, satellite dishes, and telephones also must be protected with a low voltage surge suppressor for each component.
Whole house surge suppression is not only necessary, but mission critical for any homeowner using home automation or home theater equipment.
Home automation devices are in actuality sophisticated electrical subsystems operating within the homes overall electrical system. Calculating the precise level of whole house surge suppression needed to safeguard everything from electronic equipment to lighting control programming requires not only certified electricians, but also a team like Illuminations Lighting and Design with an entire division and successful track record in the discipline of home automation itself.
Illuminations Lighting and Design not only installs whole house surge suppressors, but we can also perform any electrical upgrades relevant to safety and industry evolution.
As a multi-specialist consulting firm blending the technical and the aesthetic, we strive to be all things to all residential clients with a level of commercial sophistication that makes us the leader in multiple disciplines throughout Houston and Greater Texas.
