What is Surge Protection Power Conditioning and How will it Benefit My Home?
A surge protective device protects your electrical wiring equipment and appliances from voltage surges and spikes that interfere with their normal operation.
These surges can cause immediate physical damage to your appliances, electronics and electrical wiring, wear them down over time or create interferences that cause them to malfunction.
Leading manufacturers of surge control devices, have developed devices to protect your home electrical wiring system and maintain safe power quality.
What does Surge Protection Power Conditioning do?
Power surges can be generated from external
sources outside such as lightening, or
from internal sources such as
other electronics and appliances. You may be
unaware that surges can also enter through
telephone lines and cable TV or satellite dish
connections. These surges can cause immediate
physical damage to your appliances, electronics and
electrical wiring, wear them down over time or create
interferences
that cause them to malfunction.
Leviton, a leading manufacturer of surge control
devices, has developed an entire system to protect
your home electrical wiring power quality. Surge Protection Power Conditioning works by protecting your
home’s electrical wiring and electrical service panel from
outside surges
with “point-of entry” devices and protecting
your
electronics and appliances inside your home with“point-of-use” devices.
