Whole house surge protection in Free Soil: local conditions matter

Up north, power can be out for a while when a storm rolls through. In Free Soil and the rest of Mason County, wells, septic pumps and furnaces all depend on electricity, so reliability matters more than it does in town. We keep that in mind whenever we take on whole house surge protection, and we are happy to talk about backup power while we are there.

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 Free Soil.
