Ah, Mother Nature. Ever full of surprises. Some wonderful and inspiring. Some not so much.

Take lighting for example. Just one bolt of lightning can damage or destroy your valuable home electronic equipment, and that includes anything with a built-in microprocessor. What exactly is on that list? It starts with items as small as toasters and microwave ovens all the way to heating and AC systems, hot tubs, major appliances, and all the rest.

And yes, all that stuff can wiped out by the kind of power surge that stems either from lightning or when the power comes back on following a power outage. But it gets worse, because most homeowners insurance policies don’t cover losses resulting from power surges.

So, what’s a homeowner to do? Well, you can sit tight and HOPE a major power surge doesn’t come your way. OR you can contact Excel Electrical Technologies and request a fully-installed whole-house surge protector.

One such device can stop up to 40,000 amps of surging electricity dead in its tracks. That, in combination with power strips with built-in surge protectors strategically placed throughout your home, will give you a world of protection. A whole-house surge protector can also prevent an electrical fire.

Are these devices foolproof? Nothing is, especially when you match them up with the forces of nature. But a whole-house surge protector is still a very effective way to help protect your investment in a higher standard of living.
