First off, what is a whole-house surge protector?

A whole-house surge protector prevents your appliances from short-circuiting due to voltage spike. It limits excess electricity by blocking the current or shorting it to ground, much like a pressure relief valve. Every appliance and device in your home are powered by electricity. You simply can’t afford to have your electricals to fry. It is a cost-effective safety device for all your essential appliances.

Where is it installed?

Whole-house surge protectors are usually wired to your electrical box. A whole-house surge protector must be properly grounded to perform its job. Proper installation is essential and should always be done by a professional as to not compromise you and your home’s safety. 

What does it protect your electronics from?

• Fried circuit boards on the electrical components of all home appliances.
• Electricity overload from major appliances, which can cause power surges in your home and slowly damage your appliances.
• Voltage fluctuations from faults in utility lines and other homes in your neighborhood can affect the flow of current into your home and damage your electricals.
• Direct lightning strikes.

Which equipment is most sensitive to power surges?

Many components in today’s complex appliances and devices are sensitive to power surges. However, electronics and appliances containing microprocessors are highly susceptible to power surges. Since microprocessors are fragile devices that can affect everything in the unit if it suffers from a power surge.

Lowering our utility bills, especially when it comes to electricity consumption, is indeed one of the most important advantages that most people have hoped for. However, there are several factors to consider in order to experience this kind of benefit.

Here are the followings steps to consider:

• Unplug idle or unused electrical items– Electrical items like TVs, computers, microwaves, cellphones, and mobile charges that aren’t used must be unplugged. In this way, you can somehow save energy and save money on utility bills.
• Turning the lights out- Unused lighting is one way to increase the utility bills, and as a customer, you don’t want it to happen. That’s why practicing the right thing to do by just simply turning the lights off can help you save more money for electricity consumption.
• As much as possible choose LED lights- LED lights are far more convenient and efficient than traditional lightings such as incandescent and fluorescent lights. It is because 95% of the energy in LEDs is converted into light, and only 5% is wasted as heat. So, as much as possible, you should prefer LED lights all the time.
• Replace outdated or old appliances- Old appliances or electrical units like refrigerators, heaters, air conditioners, and dryers use a lot more energy than the new ones. Sometimes it is best to look for modern units because the efficiency is on a high level and this way you can save more and prevent your electricity consumption to double.

Furthermore, if you have some further questions about how to reduce or lower your electricity consumption, you know that you can always rely on Local Trusted Electricians.
