Power surges can happen in an instant and cause massive damage. A single surge can damage or destroy your valuable electronics and appliances, and even potentially start an electrical fire. 

Don’t leave your home vulnerable! Home Comfort Experts offers comprehensive whole-home surge protection installation and repair services in Mishawaka and Valparaiso.

What Are Power Surges and Why Should You Care?

You might be surprised to learn that lightning strikes aren’t the biggest threat to your electronics. Everyday appliances and even minor electrical fluctuations can cause surges strong enough to damage electronics. 

Whole-home surge protectors act as a shield for your entire electrical system, diverting harmful voltage spikes away from your devices. This helps prevent:

• Fried Circuit Boards: Power surges can easily damage the delicate circuitry in your electronics, rendering them useless.
• Data Loss: Surges can erase important data from computers, hard drives, and other devices.
• Appliance Malfunctions: Power surges can shorten the lifespan of your appliances or cause them to fail completely.
• Electrical Fires: In extreme cases, surges can overheat wires and cause electrical fires.

If you’ve experienced a damaging electrical surge, we can’t recover your lost data. However, we can get your electrical system back on track. Call us for circuit breaker repairs and other electrical repairs on your electrical panel, switches, outlets, and more. 

Protect Your Property with Whole-Home Surge Protection

While there are point-of-use surge protectors for individual appliances, they don’t cover all your bases. Whole-home surge protectors are installed directly into your electrical panel, safeguarding your entire home from surges. They are your first line of defense against damaging voltage spikes by diverting surges away from your entire electrical system. They also prevent surges from traveling from one circuit to another in your house. 

Do I Need Both Whole-Home Surge Protection & Point-of-Use Defense?

For surges within a specific circuit, you need the extra layer of protection that a point-of-use surge protector provides. These are important for your most valuable electronics, such as computers, home entertainment systems, and expensive appliances. 

Together, a whole-home surge protector and a point-of-use surge protector provide a multi-layered defense against small and large power surges.

Ultimately, installing a surge protection system depends on your needs and risk tolerance. If you have valuable electronics that you want to safeguard as much as possible, point-of-use surge protectors are a worthwhile investment.
