Whole house surge protection in San Juan: local conditions

In the Rio Grande Valley the cooling season barely ends, so air conditioners, breakers and service connections carry heavy loads nearly all year, and tropical storms from the Gulf add outages and surges. Common work here includes AC circuit repairs, panel upgrades for homes that have added cooling load, and weather-rated outdoor wiring. We plan whole house surge protection in San Juan with those conditions in mind.

Whole house surge protection in San Juan: common questions

Does whole house surge protection stop lightning?

It handles the surges that come in on the power lines from nearby strikes, which are the common ones. No device can promise protection from a direct strike to the house. It greatly reduces the everyday surge damage that shortens the life of electronics.

Do I still need power strips with a whole house surge protector?

For computers, televisions and audio equipment, yes. A good point-of-use protector behind the panel device gives layered protection.

How long does surge protector installation take?

Usually an hour or two when the panel has room. Power is off briefly while we connect the device.

Are surges common in San Juan?

Yes. In the Rio Grande Valley, storms, utility switching and heavy air conditioning loads all produce surges. Most are too small to notice, and their effect on electronics adds up over time.
