Surge Protection
Lightning & Voltage Surge Protection
Lightning is the most familiar source of electrical power surges, but it's actually one of the least common causes. When lightning strikes near a power line, the electrical energy can boost electrical pressure by millions of volts, causing an extremely large surge. Although nothing will protect your home in the rare instance of a direct lightning strike, surge protection solutions from Keating Electric will help protect your home from voltage surges from lightning and other disturbances such as utility company problems, downed power lines and transformer switching.
Whole House Surge Protection
Power surges are frequently caused by high powered electrical equipment inside your home, such as refrigerators, pumps, and heating & cooling systems. These devices frequently switch on and off components like compressors and motors, creating sudden, brief demands for power, which upset the steady voltage flow in the electrical system.
While these internal power surges are nowhere near the intensity of a lightning surge, they can be severe enough to damage electrical equipment. And just because your big screen HDTV doesn't blow out immediately doesn't mean it's useful life hasn't been significantly shortened by internal power surges. You need high quality surge protector power strips to protect your electronics from internal power surges.
