Surge protection installation for HVAC systems
Is Your Expensive HVAC System Vulnerable to Power Surges? South Florida leads the nation in lightning strikes. A single power surge—from lightning, grid switching, or even large appliances cycling—can fry your A/C’s delicate circuit board, compressor, or fan motor in microseconds, leading to repairs costing thousands. Professional surge protection is affordable insurance for your home’s most critical mechanical system.
01.
Whole-House Surge Protector Installation
We install Type 1 or Type 2 whole-house surge protection devices (SPDs) at your main electrical panel. This is the first line of defense, clamping extreme voltage spikes before they enter your home's wiring, protecting not just your HVAC, but all your appliances and electronics.
02.
Dedicated HVAC Surge Protector Installation
For maximum protection, we install hard-wired, HVAC-dedicated surge protectors directly at the disconnect box of your outdoor condenser and indoor air handler/furnace. These devices respond in nanoseconds and are designed to handle the massive surges that can bypass panel-level protection.
03.
Diagnostic Assessment & Grounding Verification
Effective surge protection requires proper grounding. We test your electrical system's grounding electrode and bonding to ensure surges have a safe path to earth. We also inspect existing wiring for vulnerabilities.
04.
Monitoring & Warranty Coverage
We install protectors with status indicator lights and, optionally, remote monitoring. Many installed devices come with connected equipment warranties (often up to $50,000+) that cover your HVAC system if a surge damages it while the protector is functional.
