Power surges can happen internally and externally. You need to ensure all your electrical appliances, including your Heating and Air Conditioning unit, are protected, and power surges in your condo can be caused by lightning, fallen power lines, faulty wiring, frequent cycling of appliances, maintenance at the power plant, and seasoned 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 Heating and Air Conditioning plan and other pricey 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 complications. An electrician can come to check your wiring to see if there are mangled wirings, bad wiring, bad grounding and will check to see if your circuit breaker has troubles. You can also install a whole-house surge protector. A unit installed at the primary circuit breaker is situated between your home’s electrical plan and the power grid. This whole-house surge protector is powerful enough to protect your whole home and your Heating and Air Conditioning plan from electricity surges. You can also install a high-efficiency AC component 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 Heating and Air Conditioning maintenance provider to inquire about your condo power surge protection, and they will help you protect your pricey equipment.
