HVAC Surge Protection
Service, Maintenance, Installation,
This week we have seen some heavy rains come through mid-Missouri and this reminds us that we are not quite done with those summer storms. These downpours, while good for our gardens, bring a load of lightening and thunder. At Chapman, this has us thinking about ways to protect your heating and air conditioning systems from electric surges.
Lightening is one of the most common causes for electric surges in our homes and can travel up to a half a mile. The most disheartening part of this is there is nothing to prevent a direct strike, but there is something we can do protect our comfort systems.
A surge protector is a device that can be installed on your furnace and your air conditioner. These devices are hard-wired into each system and can protect your system from incoming surges, bouncing surges, and even outdoor moisture conduction. The surge protection devices work by redirecting the voltage surge to the ground and away from your systems.
Investing in surge protection is a great way to insure your heating and air conditioning systems. You have already made the investment in your comfort, so it makes sense to protect it. It’s not uncommon to protect other electronics, like computers and TVs, from these powerful surges so protecting your furnace and air conditioner is a great next step.
