Advent Air Urges Homeowners, Businesses to Add Surge Protectors to Protect HVAC Units

Lewisville, TX, May 09, 2012 --(PR.com)-- The recent spate of storms in the DFW area has reminded homeowners and businesses alike of the importance of hooking up their computer equipment to surge protectors to avoid frying their electronics due to a power surge or lightning strike.

But the same threat exists for even more expensive equipment – your heating and air conditioning units. Is your HVAC unit plugged into a surge protector?

Even though your insurance coverage may cover the cost of replacement or repairs should your HVAC equipment be damaged by an unexpected electrical surge, you may still be stuck without air conditioning or heating for days during the down time. Surge protectors are designed to absorb the impact of momentary voltage spikes and other transient power surges, such as those from lightning strikes and other power station events. These events are typically not covered under warranty.

“A simple, inexpensive surge protection kit can avoid all that aggravation, discomfort and expense,” says Mike Douglas, CEO of Advent Air Conditioning in Lewisville. “We include them with all our new installations and repair work, but most of our competitors don’t.”

Quality surge protection kits typically cost less than $150.00, and come with a $1,000-per-occurrence guarantee on all connected equipment, in the event of a product failure.
