Causes of Power Surges in Orlando
Power surges are a lot more common than you might think. Most homes experience multiple voltage spikes a day, and it’s normal to have thousands of power surges a year. Up to 80% of these surges are generated inside the house, and most go undetected. But while you might not notice these surges, your appliances and electronics do.
Causes of internal power surges include:
- Overloaded circuits and outlets
- Exposed or damaged writing
- High-energy devices and appliances
Power outages and lightning strikes are the main external factors, and that’s concerning when you live in Orlando. Orlando averages over 80 thunderstorm days a year, and tornados are an issue here, too. With that kind of weather, power surges are far too common in Orlando.
You don’t have to move away from the storms to protect your appliances. Call Service Minds Mister Sparky to install a whole home surge protector in Orlando, FL.
Whole House Surge Protection – How It Works
Service Minds Mister Sparky of Orlando connects the whole house surge protectors to the home’s electrical panel or meter. These devices act as gatekeepers, blocking spikes that exceed the voltage protection rating (VPR).
When a voltage higher than the VPR tries to slip through, the surge protector redirects it to a ground wire so it can’t reach your hardwired or plugged-in appliances and devices.
Get Additional Protection With Point-of-use Surge Protectors
Whole house surge protectors prevent most but not all voltage spikes from entering the electrical system. Service Minds Mister Sparky of Orlando also recommends layering your protection with point-of-use surge protectors. These devices protect individual devices and work in tandem with whole house surge protectors.
