It’s the age of electronics and technology. Every house has at least one computer and one phone, and many have multiple televisions, gaming systems and more. To keep your electronics protected, Osterwisch Company, Cincinnati's premier source for electronic, plumbing, and HVAC contractors, recommends that homeowners install whole house surge protectors.

If you don't use whole house surge protection in your home, here are four reasons why you should hire the Osterwisch Company to install your system today:

  • Protection: You work hard to pay for your electrical appliances, but one power surge could render your devices less efficient or even completely non-functional. 
  • Power Surges Can Happen At Any Point: Most people assume that power surges only happen during a thunder storm, but you may be surprised to learn that lightening isn't the most common threat. Many conditions can cause a power surge, from your electrical company switching to a new distribution company to damaged power lines that lead to your home. You might even generate a power surge in your own home without realizing it. You never know when a power surge might occur, and that's why you need to stay protected all the time. 
  • Even Minor Overcharges Come At A Price: If your home suffers a minor power surge and all of your appliances still work, don't think you're completely out of dodge. Continual exposure to power fluctuations cause appliances to have shorter lifespans, which means costing you more in replacements and repairs.
  • Protection Should Be Layered: Whole house surge protectors don’t just focus on the breaker panel; they’re ready to stop surges wherever they occur. For example, when a surge goes through a circuit that feeds other devices, then there is the chance that these devices will be damaged by the surge. The whole home surge protector system will be able to contain the surge before other appliances are affected.
