Residential Power Surge Protectors
Residential power surge protectors offer the best buffer against transient power surges that can quickly destroy appliances, light fixtures, and expensive electronics in the home. Transient power surge is the biggest enemy of any device that operates off a printed circuit board. While the dangers of such an electrical spike are obvious to anyone who has witnessed the power of lighting and lived through a subsequent power outage, few people are aware of just how extensive the damage to their home wiring and appliances can result from such a power spike. Things that people would normally not consider to be vulnerable to power surges from emergency power generators and utility poles can be destroyed in an instant, and without warning.
This is because technology has evolved to such a level of sophistication over the years that all appliances are now manufactured with printed circuit boards. These circuit boards better regulate electrical usage, extending the lifespan of the appliance and reducing energy usage in the process. However, these are very sensitive pieces of equipment at the same time. A transient power surge can quickly destroy the circuit panel in any home appliance and render the device permanently inoperable.
When we consider as well that many lighting control systems, such as Lutron wall box dimmer controls, are also built with circuit panels, we see that even more havoc can be wrecked in a home by a single lightning strike. Lighting does not have to strike the home itself, either. It only needs to hit a nearby transformer to send an overload directly into the house. A residential power surge protector is the only safeguard against the catastrophic failure that inevitably results.
Protecting your residence and home automation equipment has become increasingly complex over the past 30 years. It takes a trained, experienced expert to calculate the size and placement of the surge protector. Size in the electrical world has nothing to do with physical dimensions. Instead, it has to do with the ratio of power delivered to the home factored by the number of electrical devices drawing power from the electrical service panels. This equation, as simple as it seems, becomes much more complex when dedicated circuits are added as variables. Many high-end electronic systems, such as plasma TVs, computers, stereos, and home theaters all require their own dedicated circuit to operate.
Residential power surge protectors installed by ILD consistently block spikes of up to 300,000 amps. While there are no absolute safeguards against the raw powers of Nature, these commercial grade units represent your best bet in protecting your investment in Houston home theaters, home appliances and electronics. Furthermore, they take up far less space than retail units, because even though they are far more powerful, they are 50 percent the size and therefore much easier for our team to install.
If you are interested in a standby electrical generator or a whole house surge protection system, we invite you contact us at 713-863-1133 or us our online request design consultation form.
Since 1980, Illuminations has grown to include a team of over 50 talented and dedicated employees. Specialty divisions have been created to focus on such disciplines as lighting design, electrical contracting, landscape lighting and home automation. Having specialists in each of these disciplines, while remaining true to the mission of offering home owners the "complete picture" of lighting design, is key to continued success at Illuminations Lighting.
We are located in Houston Texas but provide lighting and house lighting plans in Austin TX, El Paso Texas, San Antonio TX, College Station Texas, Beaumont TX, Dallas Texas, Midland Tx and points beyond.
