Are you looking to safeguard your expensive electronics with whole-house surge protection in Newton, MA? Excessive alternating current flow can damage your home’s electrical system. A single surge might only last around 50 microseconds but could draw upwards of 3,000 amps. That’s more than enough to ruin your television, computer, and almost every other device you have plugged into the wall. Surge protection services from Tingley Home Services electrical company can divert this excess electricity by either storing it or pushing it into a ground circuit where it can’t fry your gear.
"They answer the phone, are very pleasant, professional and showed up the next day, before three other electricians even returned my calls. The two technicians they sent were professional, pleasant and did great, clean work."- Chuck O.
Most consumer-grade power-strip surge protectors use a metal oxide varistor as an electrical regulator that holds the electrical current down to a reasonable level. Some surges can exert more than 6,000 volts on your home, which can blow out the circuitry in a regular power strip. High-end surge protection services employ special technology to block any extra current that comes down your lines.
Our electricians can install two types of surge protection: one that absorbs low-energy surges and another that processes stronger ones. This kind of system combines the convenience of a series mode protector with the strength of a shunt-based one. Properly maintained hybrid units have a long lifespan, but the same is not true for unprotected appliances.
Washers and dryers, for instance, wear out quickly if used in homes that regularly experience power surges. Whole-house surge protection units reduce the amount of current that flows into them, which can dramatically increase their lifespan.
