Why Your AC Needs a Surge Protector

Your air conditioner is one of the most expensive and important systems in your home and it’s also one of the most vulnerable to power surges. A surge protector can help protect your investment and prevent unexpected breakdowns.

Why Surge Protection Matters for Your AC

Modern AC systems rely on sensitive circuit boards and electrical components.

Without protection, a surge can:

-Burn out circuit boards

-Damage compressors

-Cause system failure

-Lead to costly repairs or full replacement

A surge protector acts like a shield, diverting excess voltage away from your system.

Installing a surge protector is a relatively low-cost upgrade compared to replacing a major AC component. Many homeowners don’t realize that one surge can cause thousands of dollars in damage.

When Should You Consider a Surge Protector?

Surge protection is especially important if:

-You live in an area with frequent storms

-You’ve experienced recent power outages

-You have a newer, high-efficiency system

-You want to extend the life of your AC

Tech Tip Tuesday Takeaway

A surge protector helps keep your AC system running safely, reliably, and efficiently—no matter what’s happening with the power grid.

Protect your comfort. Protect your system.
