Introduction ⚡🌬️
Power surges can damage HVAC systems, leading to costly repairs or complete failure. These sudden voltage spikes occur due to lightning strikes, electrical grid fluctuations, or large appliances turning on and off. Protecting your HVAC system from power surges ensures long-term reliability, efficiency, and safety.
Essential Ways to Prevent HVAC Damage
- Install a Surge Protector 🔌
A dedicated HVAC surge protector absorbs excess voltage, preventing damage to compressors, motors, and circuit boards.
- Use High-Quality Wiring ⚙️
Poor wiring increases the risk of electrical damage. Upgrading to high-quality wiring ensures stable voltage flow and reduces surge-related failures.
- Unplug During Severe Storms ⛈️
If a major storm is approaching, unplugging your HVAC system can prevent lightning-induced power surges from damaging components.
- Check Circuit Breakers and Fuses 🔧
Ensure your breaker panel and fuses are functioning properly. A faulty breaker may fail to protect your HVAC system from sudden voltage spikes.
- Schedule Regular HVAC Maintenance 🛠️
Routine inspections help identify electrical vulnerabilities before they cause major damage. ANG Heating and Air Conditioning provides expert maintenance services to keep your system protected.
- Upgrade to a Voltage Monitor 📏
Some surge protectors come with voltage monitoring features, shutting down the system if voltage exceeds safe levels.
- Ensure Proper Grounding 🌍
A well-grounded electrical system helps dissipate excess voltage safely, reducing the risk of HVAC damage.
