ALMOST ALL SURGE SUPRESSORS ARE MADE UP OF SINGLE OR MULTIPLE M.O.V.’S. M.O.V. STANDS FOR METAL OXIDE VARISTORS. THEY FUNCTION SIMILAR TO A CAPACITOR. WHEN AN M.O.V. RECEIVES A CHARGE THAT EXCEEDS THE NORMAL ENERGY LEVEL, IT DRAINS IT, OR BLEEDS IT BACK TO THE GROUND. MOST SURGE SUPPRESORS ARE ONE TIME UNITS, MEANING ONCE THEY HAVE PERFORMED THEIR SURGE SUPPRESING TASK, THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED. FOR A HOME, SURGE SUPPRESORS COST AROUND $300.  SOME 3 PHASE APPLICATIONS CAN REQUIRE SURGE SUPPRESORS THAT WILL RUN UP TO $900.00. SEVERAL UNITS THAT ARE AVAILABLE USE PARALLEL TECHNOLOGIES ALLOWING MULTIPLE USES AND HIGHER LIFE EXPECTANCY, HOWEVER THESE UNITS USUALLY DO NOT OFFER ANY INSURANCE FOR YOUR ELECTRONICS OR APPLIANCES. THE WORST PART IS THEY USUALLY COST $ 2900.00 AND UP! OUR SURGE SUPRESSORS HAVE A LIMITED WARRANTY, AND COVER UP TO $ 50,000.00 OF DAMAGE TO YOUR ELECTRONICS (DEPENDING ON THE MODEL). HAVING COVERAGE GOOD COVERAGE IS EXTREMELY VALUABLE, ESPECIALLY IN TEXAS, BECAUSE MOST HOME OWNER INSURANCE POLICIES HAVE A 1% DEDUCTABLE. SAY YOUR HOME IS VALUED AT $ 200,000.00 AND YOU HAVE A SURGE THAT DESTROYS YOUR PLASMA TV, AND SOUND SYSTEM. YOUR DEDUCTABLE- $ 2000.00! WITH OUR SURGE SUPRESORS, THAT IS PICKED UP BY THE SURGE SUPRESSOR MANUFACTURER!

 

LEVEL I: WHOLE HOUSE PROTECTION – THIS UNIT INSTALLS ON THE MAIN BREAKER BOX. IT PROVIDES PROTECTION FROM INCOMING SURGES OCCURING FROM THE UTILITY COMPANY. LEVEL II: INDEPEPENDENT SURGE PROTECTION AT POINT OF USE - WHEREVER YOU HAVE SENSITIVE ELECTRONICS, PLASMA TV’S, SOUND SYSTEMS, OR COMPUTERS, YOU SHOULD HAVE ADDITONAL SURGE PROTECTORS. THESE WILL PROVIDE ANOTHER LEVEL OF PROTECTION; PROTECTION FROM INSIDE SURGES. THAT’S RIGHT, YOUR HOMES OWN ELECTRONICS, MOTORS, EVEN YOUR REFIRGERATOR CAN INDUCE SURGES ON THE CIRCUITS THAT CAN DAMAGE OR EVEN DESTROY OTHER ELECTRONICS IN YOUR HOME. A WHOLE HOUSE SURGE PROTECTOR WILL NOT PROTECT AGAINST THIS TYPE OF TRANSIENT OR SURGE. WE CAN SUPPLY AND INSTALL THESE LEVELS OF SURGE PROTECTION AT YOUR CONVEINENCE.

 

ALL SURGE PROTECTORS THAT WE USE COME WITH INSURANCE. ANY SURGE PROTECTOR MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE CONFIDENT ENOUGH IN THEIR PRODUCT TO BACK IT UP. WE FIGURE THAT IF THEY CANNOT BACK UP THEIR PRODUCT, WE DON’T WANT TO SELL IT!
