Whole House Surge Protection for Commerce Township homes and businesses
Summer storms and winter ice both cause outages and surges across Southeast Michigan. Customers in Commerce Township often call us after one of those events has exposed a weak point. Our electricians serving Oakland County approach whole house surge protection with reliability and protection in mind.
Where surges come from
Lightning gets the blame, but most surges are smaller and far more frequent. They occur when utility power is restored after an outage, when grid equipment switches and when large motors in your own home cycle on and off. Each one wears a little at electronics. Thunderstorms, ice and wind make outages and restorations a regular event across Michigan, which is why panel-mounted protection is worth having in Commerce Township.
