⚡ Did you know Georgia experiences over 680,000 cloud-to-ground lightning strikes every year? That’s a whole lot of power surges — and a whole lot of need for surge protection for your home’s systems and appliances.
You wouldn’t leave your TV, computer, or other electronics unprotected. So why risk your most valuable — and most expensive — investment: your HVAC system?
Why Surge Protection Matters for Your HVAC
Your HVAC system is one of the largest appliances in your home and also one of the most expensive to repair or replace. During electrical storms, even a brief surge can cause:
- Burned-out control boards
- Blown capacitors
- Compressor failure
- Costly repairs or full replacement
And it’s not just lightning strikes — power grid fluctuations, downed lines, or even large appliances cycling on and off can create smaller surges that wear down your system over time.
The Cost of Not Protecting Your System
Think about it: replacing a damaged TV might set you back a few hundred dollars. But replacing an HVAC system? You’re looking at thousands. Surge protection is a small investment compared to the cost of repairing or replacing a system that could have been protected.
How Surge Protection Works
Surge protection acts like a shield between your HVAC system and sudden spikes in voltage. Installed directly on your system, it intercepts surges before they can fry sensitive electronics and components — keeping your home comfortable and your wallet intact.
Why It’s Essential in North Georgia
Here in North Georgia, our stormy summers make surge protection less of a luxury and more of a necessity. With frequent afternoon thunderstorms — and the occasional strong electrical storm — your HVAC system is at risk for sudden, unpredictable damage all season long.
Protect Your Comfort. Protect Your Wallet.
Your HVAC system keeps you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Don’t let one lightning strike take that comfort away.
The system is quick to install, affordable, and could save you thousands in the long run.
