Power surges can happen internally and externally. You need to ensure all your electrical appliances, including your HVAC unit, are protected. Power surges in your home can be caused by lightning, fallen power lines, faulty wiring, frequent cycling of appliances, maintenance at the power plant, and aged or faulty electrical parts. The safest way to protect your electrical appliances is by unplugging sensitive electronics during a storm. You can also protect your HVAC system and other valuable equipment by installing surge protectors. A surge protector is installed between your equipment and the power source, and it is used to monitor the electricity flow and block excess voltage from reaching your equipment or shorting it. Inspect your home’s wiring to see if there is faulty wiring since faulty wirings cause power surge problems. An electrician can come to check your wiring to see if there are damaged wirings, poor wiring, poor grounding and will check to see if your circuit breaker has issues. You can also install a whole-house surge protector. A device installed at the primary circuit breaker is located between your home’s electrical system and the power grid. This whole-house surge protector is powerful enough to protect your whole house and your HVAC system from electricity surges. You can also install a high-efficiency AC unit that will save you energy bills and draw less power, and is less likely to cause a power spike in your home, thus protecting your electrical equipment. It is wise to call your HVAC service provider to inquire about your home power surge protection, and they will help you protect your valuable equipment.
