If you are an Austin Native or a transplant who has lived in the Round Rock area for any period of time you know we often see pretty extreme storms and lightning strikes that happen in our neighborhoods. Whenever a lightning strike takes place, either to your home or someone within the electrical grid it can send a tidal wave of electricity through your home or business’s wiring. When this takes place, the unfortunate recipients of this surge can be your expensive electronics like your flat-screen TVs, computers and servers, appliances, and pretty much anything plugged in or connected to your business or home’s wiring. And since most of us are not looking for surprise expenses like replacing refrigerators, washers and dryers, or computer equipment or business servers it is imperative to protect your investments with a commercial or whole-home surge protector.

Unfortunately, many businesses and homeowners believe they are protected with things like power strips that you may have your devices connected to in your business or home. Unfortunately, they cannot protect you from strong surges, especially whenever they are a product of a lighting strike electrical surge. The best way to protect all of your valuables you own is to have a commercial-grade or whole home surge protector installed by the experts at Alpha Team Electric.

Over the years electricity has been in more demand within our businesses and homes due to the evolution of technology and our own electrical consumption we require to live and work comfortably. Whenever we experience lighting and heavy thunderstorms here in Round Rock, it can cause major damage to your business or home’s electrical system.  Even without striking your home or commercial building directly. Whenever lightning strikes happen within an area that overloads the community power grid, the surge or electrical overload can damage and destroy your business or household circuits, along with everything that is connected to it. This is why it is especially important to invest in a whole-home surge protector or to have a Licensed Master Electrician help you with commercial surge protection.

 However, thunderstorms are not always the culprits to electrical surges. Even in fair weather, clear skies, and sunny days you can still experience a surge. Utility Malfunctions are another source of damage electrical surges that take place in your home or business. Utility companies can sometimes send far too much power to your home, due to a malfunction on their end that can send significant surges to your home or business that can damage delicate electronic equipment like computers, televisions, appliances, and more.

There are also In-Business or In-Home Causes that can also lead to electrical surges. Although more rare occurrences, your appliances or major electronic devices can experience glitches that redirect motor power back into your building or home’s grid. When this type of event happens, it sends a crashing backflow of an electrical surge that can wreak havoc on your electronics.

Therefore, it is important to have one of our experienced and licensed Master Electricians visit your home or business to assess your electrical surge risks.  We provide a free in-person consultation and estimate to help you identify opportunities and risks, along with how to avoid surge damage and potential safety hazards.
