Invest in a high-quality surge protector from Sean McCutcheon's Air Conditioning and Heating, Inc. It could save you hundreds of dollars in repair or replacement costs.
It's a device designed to shield electronic equipment from sudden voltage spikes and electrical surges. These surges, which are abnormal increases in electrical current, can inflict damage on wiring and electronics.
Just like computers and televisions, your HVAC system is susceptible to these power surges. Surge protectors are often mandated by building codes for new HVAC installations because of the potential for significant damage to these expensive systems.
Power surges can stem from various sources, but they often arise during thunderstorms and severe weather conditions, primarily due to lightning strikes or when utility companies reset circuits after outages. When lightning strikes a power line, it generates a potent surge that can travel through the electrical grid, potentially causing damage or even power disruptions. Additionally, damaged or faulty power lines can lead to sudden increases in voltage, impacting appliances and connected equipment.
It all depends on the electrical components. When a voltage spike or transient surge happens, these components face a sudden increase in voltage.
Such surges can lead to overheating of the electrical parts, potentially causing damage or system failure. In severe cases, the damage inflicted by a power surge may be irreversible. It's crucial to consult a licensed HVAC contractor to assess the extent of any damage and whether repairs are feasible.
Here are potential outcomes for your HVAC system due to a power surge:
