Common Power Surge Threats We Protect Against

With over five decades of electrical experience serving Aberdeen, our licensed electricians understand the various threats that power surges pose to modern homes. From devastating lightning strikes to subtle internal surges, we install surge protection that defends against all sources of electrical damage. When you need comprehensive surge protection, call (410) 879-1485.

Lightning strikes near power lines or direct hits to your home can send massive voltage spikes through your electrical system, instantly destroying electronics, appliances, and HVAC equipment worth thousands of dollars. Even nearby lightning strikes that don’t directly hit your property can induce damaging surges through utility lines or ground connections. Benfield Electric installs professional whole-home surge protection devices rated to handle severe surge events, providing the robust defense your Aberdeen home needs against Maryland’s summer thunderstorms and protecting your valuable equipment from lightning-related electrical damage.

Many homeowners rely on inexpensive power strips for surge protection, not realizing these provide minimal protection and leave major systems completely vulnerable, including hardwired appliances, HVAC equipment, and devices not plugged into protected outlets. Power strips wear out, often fail after a single surge, and cannot protect your entire electrical system. Our licensed electricians install whole-home surge protection at your electrical panel that shields every circuit, outlet, and hardwired system in your Aberdeen home, providing comprehensive protection that basic power strips simply cannot deliver. We also provide generator installation to ensure your home has reliable backup power during outages.

Most power surges originate inside your home when large appliances like air conditioners, refrigerators, or furnaces cycle on and off, creating voltage spikes that damage sensitive electronics sharing the same electrical system over time. These internal surges happen daily and cause cumulative damage that shortens the lifespan of computers, TVs, and other equipment. Benfield Electric’s whole-home surge protection defends against both external and internal surge sources, providing continuous protection that preserves your expensive electronics and appliances, ensuring they reach their full expected lifespan in your Aberdeen home.

Do I really need whole-home surge protection?

Modern homes contain thousands of dollars worth of sensitive electronics and smart appliances vulnerable to damage from power surges caused by lightning, utility switching, grid issues, or even large appliances cycling on and off within your home. While power strips offer limited point-of-use protection, only whole-home surge protection installed at your electrical panel shields your entire system including hardwired equipment. Benfield Electric’s licensed electricians install comprehensive surge protection that safeguards your Aberdeen home’s valuable electronics, appliances, and electrical systems from costly surge damage.

How much does whole-home surge protection cost?

Professional whole-home surge protection installation typically costs a fraction of what you would spend replacing damaged electronics, computers, appliances, and HVAC equipment after a single major surge event. The investment in surge protection pays for itself by preventing thousands of dollars in potential damage. Benfield Electric provides flat-rate, upfront pricing for surge protection installation, including quality surge suppression devices and professional installation by our licensed electricians at your Aberdeen home’s electrical panel.

What does whole-home surge protection actually protect?

Whole-home surge protection installed at your electrical panel defends everything connected to your electrical system, including computers, TVs, appliances, HVAC equipment, security systems, garage door openers, and all electronics throughout your home. Unlike power strips that only protect devices plugged directly into them, panel-mounted surge protection shields your entire electrical system. Our licensed electricians install surge protection that provides comprehensive coverage, giving you peace of mind that all your valuable equipment enjoys professional-grade protection.

Does surge protection require maintenance or replacement?

Quality whole-home surge protectors include indicator lights showing protection status, and while they require no regular maintenance, they should be checked periodically and replaced if they absorb a major surge or if indicator lights show the protection has been compromised. Most surge protectors last many years under normal conditions. Benfield Electric installs surge protection with clear status indicators and provides guidance on monitoring your system’s protection status, ensuring your Aberdeen home maintains continuous surge protection. We also provide smart camera installation and other smart home electrical services to enhance your home’s security and convenience.

Benfield Electric’s licensed electricians bring over five decades of electrical experience to protecting Aberdeen homes from power surge damage. Maryland’s storm season brings lightning strikes and power grid fluctuations that threaten sensitive electronics and expensive appliances. Our team understands the comprehensive protection required in modern homes filled with computers, smart devices, and electronic appliances that can be destroyed by voltage spikes lasting mere microseconds. Our surge protection services include:

Whole-home surge protector installation at the electrical panel for complete protection

High-joule rated surge suppression devices for maximum protection capacity

Proper grounding system verification and enhancement for surge protection effectiveness

Power surges often cause subtle damage that accumulates over time, shortening the lifespan of electronics and appliances before eventually causing complete failure. Warning signs include electronics that stop working after storms, appliances failing prematurely, frequent need to reset devices, or circuit breakers that trip without obvious cause. By the time you notice surge damage, expensive equipment may already be destroyed. Contact Benfield Electric at (410) 879-1485 to install whole-home surge protection before the next storm season, safeguarding your Aberdeen home’s valuable equipment from preventable electrical damage.
