Surge Protection - Mamaroneck, NY

As the electrical appliances and devices in your Mamaroneck home become more and more advanced, the need for protection against electrical surges becomes increasingly important. The delicate electronics powering your home theater, kitchen appliances, home office and more aren’t designed to handle the occasional spike in the electricity supply. Keating Electric can recommend and install the best surge suppression system for your home to ensure proper protection of your expensive equipment.

Your local electrical utility works hard to deliver a clean and consistent power supply to your Mamaroneck home, but nature has a way of offering up surprises that can affect the electrical flow. Storms, traffic accidents, even high winds can produce fluctuations in the electrical supply that can adversely affect your various devices, so it’s important to provide a strong measure of protection to prevent or minimize costly damage.

External factors are only one source of power surges. A large number of power surges originate from inside your home. These occur when large motors kick on such as your refrigerator or AC units.

Surge Protection for the Entire House

Whole house surge protection is your home’s first line of defense. This helps to protect your home from power surges originating outside of your home from things like storms or traffic accidents.

A Whole-House Surge Protection Device is designed to absorb some, if not all, of the excess electricity during a power surge and can protect the devices in your home that you may not have even realized need protection. Installing surge protection for everything in your home can even help extend the life of all those devices. 

Kitchen Appliances

Nearly everything that uses electricity these days has a computer of some kind in it, including your refrigerator. You might have put a surge suppression power strip elsewhere in your home, but a lightning strike in the distance could ruin the electronics in that expensive refrigerator, rendering it useless. 

Home Office

With more and more people working from home these days, it is even more important to protect your home office. While power strips can and should be used to provide point-of-use protection, they are just not enough to fully guarantee the safety of your home office equipment. A surge protector for the whole house should be the first line of defense for every device in your home office, not only to protect them from electrical surges, but to extend the life of your equipment by providing a clean and consistent flow of power. As for those power strips, Keating Electric can install wall outlets with built-in surge suppression for an extra measure of safety!

Home Theater

Your home theater is the ultimate entertainment center, and the ultimate in sensitive electronic components. Whether you have a 4K UHD QLED TV or a big screen projector, a DVD player or Blu-Ray, gaming systems, or audio components, you have invested your money and time in creating a relaxing haven in which to unwind. Ensure performance longevity for your carefully crafted hideaway with a surge protection system from Keating Electric.

Pools and Spas

A pool or spa can turn your Mamaroneck home into a vacation getaway. The sensitive electronics controlling the devices that heat, aerate and clean your pool or spa will be kept safe and intact with a whole-house surge protection system.

Food For Thought

Absolutely nothing can protect your home appliances or devices from a direct lightning strike, but as we have mentioned there are things you can do to protect from other power surges. Also, keep in mind, all surge protection devices do wear out over time and should be monitored and maintained, and replaced when the time is needed.
