The upcoming change of season is sure to bring us some spring thunderstorms. The technicians at Chapman Heating, Cooling and Plumbing know that those spring thunderstorms can cause electrical havoc on your home’s comfort system. A specialized HVAC surge protector can prevent these power surges from damaging your comfort system’s electrical components. Modern systems, especially the high efficiency units, are manufactured with more electrical components than previous models. These components are subject to damage with power fluctuations. A few of those electronic components, such as, compressor, control system and fan motors can be a costly repair. Our surge protectors will absorb the excessive electricity preventing damage to your comfort system electrical components.
How long do Surge Protectors last?
These surge protectors can last several years, however, if your home experiences surges more often it will wear out much faster. Don’t worry our technicians will check your surge protectors on your regularly scheduled Chapman Comfort Club visit. Also, you can easily check it by looking for the green lights (as seen in the video). If you don’t have green lights, you will want to give us a call to come check it out.
With this in mind, an investment into a surge protector is an inexpensive way to aid in the protection your system from costly repairs or early replacement. Furthermore, these surge protectors are specifically designed to take on a large amount of power that your air conditioner, heat pump, air handler, or other comfort system units might not be able to handle on their own.
