Lightning Bad – Houston Lightning Surge Protection

Houston is the 2nd most prone city in America to be struck by lightning. Yikes.

Everything from your favorite electronics and appliances to your HVAC system are targets for surges. To make matters worse, insurance companies simply won’t cover surge-related problems without adding extra, expensive coverage.

250,000

That’s how many surge-related outages are reported every year in Houston. That’s 385 times a day, 7 days a week. These surges don’t take days off, observe holidays, or care if you’re on vacation.

The phrase lightning fast wouldn’t be possible without lightning. So let’s talk about speed. Many surges only last milliseconds and can be virtually undetectable by people.

But you know who does notice those quick surges? Every single thing that’s hard-wired or plugged in. That’s every television, every light, every appliance, and everything else.

Repairs to HVAC systems damaged by surges can easily cost $6,000 or more to repair, and that’s if it’s even fixable. Sometimes it’s cheaper to just replace the whole thing. Gee, thanks, lightning.

To make matters worse, here comes the false claims of cheap surge protectors. That power strip is likely just as useful as making a wish when it comes to preventing real damage.

Over and over again, we see this damage first hand and it’s always one thing. Too late. Until they invent a machine that magically warns you of power surges and somehow disconnects everything in the nick of time, you really only have one choice.
