Surge protective devices can prevent damage to appliances and electronics in the homes you service when there is a temporary voltage spike.
Whole Home Surge Protection should be a standard item
Computers are everywhere in the home- From the fridge to the washer/dryer, smart appliances are computers. Your customers probably use surge strips to protect their PCs. But, they are still vulnerable to surge damage. Surge protection strips only offer limited protection to the devices connected to them. Items that are not compatible with plug strips such as washers, dryers, refrigerators, stoves, and lighting can be protected with a Whole Home Surge Protective Device.
How to recognize upgrade opportunities
Do you offer surge protections on calls?
- On service calls - Be sure to let homeowners know about the vulnerability of their electronics and appliances if they do not already have Whole Home Surge Protection. For a minimal investment, their whole home can be protected.
- On new installs - Before homeowners risk damage to their brand new appliances, offer them whole home protection from the load center with a great warranty.
