It’s extremely important to have surge protection in Apex, NC when it comes to protecting your home’s electronics, appliances, and outlets. A surge is when a high-energy voltage spike occurs. During a surge, an increased amount of voltage races through your home’s electrical system. This can result in damage to anything you have plugged in. Fortunately, Dawson's Electric can help by installing whole-home surge protection.

What causes a surge? Outside of your Apex home, things like lightning, downed power lines, and damaged transformers create voltage spikes. Inside your home, the AC, furnace, faulty wiring, garage doors, and any motor turning on or off can start a surge. Whole-home surge protection works by diverting that increased voltage to a ground wire. Without this protection, you could have an electrical fire.
This protection from surges uses special technology that kicks into action when it detects a voltage spike. It stops the voltage and redirects it. This prevents that surge of voltage from entering your home, which keeps your appliances and electronics safe. It’s easily installed on your home’s electrical panel. We’ll turn off your power for a short time and prepare the location. Next, we’ll install your surge protection, connect the wires, and finish up by testing the system.
You may mistakenly think you don’t need this protection because you use power strips. These two items have distinctly different jobs. Your power strip mainly provides you with extra outlets. If it includes protection against surges, it will only apply to devices plugged directly into it. Whole-home surge protection safeguards the entire house from spikes in voltage.
With so many different types of protection against these voltage spikes available, it can be hard to choose which one is best for your home’s needs. We can help you with this task by taking into consideration the surge current rating, the UL certification, and diagnostic LEDs.
