What is an HVAC Power Surge Protector?

Because your HVAC system requires a constant supply of electricity, blackouts, brownouts, and any disruption in the electricity grid can spell out a big problem for all of your electrical appliances.

These days, blackouts or disturbances on the electricity grid can come anytime, anywhere. While most blackouts happen during a thunderstorm, our ever-warming climate is ensuring that blackouts could become a permanent fixture in our society — no matter the time of the year.

When this type of disruption happens to your HVAC system, it can damage your heating or cooling unit or even fry your system completely, which means that you’ll have to shell out thousands of dollars for the repair or replacement costs.

That’s where an HVAC power surge protector comes in. The reliable, state-of-the-art TPMOV technology reduces the chances of a surge and eliminates potentially hazardous electricity failure. Because of this, we always recommend TPMOV surge protection technology.

HVAC Power Surge Protector Benefits

HVAC power surge protectors can potentially save you thousands of dollars. And because many of these power outages happen during periods of high heat, having HVAC surge protectors can also save you from suffering in stifling deadly-hot temperatures.

Save yourself time, stress, and money when you prepare for blackouts before they even happen.

Using a Professional

When it comes to your HVAC system, there’s no reason to cut corners. As this system is your home’s central feature for managing indoor temperatures, your surge protector must be correctly installed to best protect your home.

If an ambitious homeowner attempts to install a surge protector themselves, it can spell out trouble. Not only do you risk improperly installing the protector (resulting in subpar surge protection) but dealing with that many wires and electrical hazards can be dangerous.
