Electrical Tip on Whole House Surge Protectors

If you are like most people, you probably have a few power strip surge protectors throughout your house to protect your home from power surges. Unfortunately, most provide little to no protection against power surges. What causes power surges? Lightning, problems with the utility company’s equipment, large appliances cycling power on and off, faulty wiring, and downed power lines are just a few things that cause power surges. What is at risk? All items that have a microprocessor are at risk during a power surge. This includes items like televisions, computers, refrigerators, washers, dryers, ovens, alarm systems, microwaves and telephones.

It is amazing how many items in your house actually need to be protected from an electrical surge. If an electrical surge were to occur today, how much money would you stand to lose? Wouldn’t it make sense to have ONE surge protector that would protect your entire house?

It’s a wise decision to be prepared before the next electrical surge hits your home. Get a whole-home surge protector that will protect not only your power lines but your cable and telephone lines. If you protect yourself from a power surge at the source you will experience benefits like:

Saving Time and Money – After an electrical surge, all your neighbours will be spending time calling electricians to come out and replace the microprocessors in all their electronic devices. Your neighbours will have to shell out countless dollars to replace electronic devices that no longer function. But, if you have a whole-home surge protector you will be able to sit back, relax and be secure in the fact that once the power returns, all your expensive electronics will return to normal.
Insurance for Your Electronics – Whole home surge protectors provides inexpensive insurance compared to the cost of replacing all your electronics. Sales Point Advantage - Differentiate your house from all the other houses on the market. It’s an inexpensive way to make your house stand out from the competition. This is a great feature for home builders as well. This could be the attention to detail the buyer is looking for.
Peace of Mind – You can relax the next time a lightning storm occurs or the next power surge takes place in your area. You can rest assured that your electrical devices are protected. It only takes seconds to destroy countless expensive electronic devices, so don’t wait until it is too late!

Note: To protect yourself from surges that originate within the house, it is a good idea to take extra precautions and continue to use power strip/surge protectors for extra sensitive or expensive devices.

Looking for Ways to Save Energy?

More and more consumers are switching to energy-efficient electricity. They want to make smart decisions when it comes to installing their home with appropriate energy-saving devices. By making the switch you not only save yourself money, but you help save the environment from toxic fossil fuel pollution and help to create a more secure energy future for America. It can be a challenge to determine the best steps to take in order to yield the greatest benefit in your home.

Lighting Dimmers and Timers
Conservation is good for everyone.
Power Consumption Meters:
A Power consumption meter measures how much energy each appliance consumes to help you find ways to cut back.
Wireless Lighting Controls:
Reduce unnecessary energy consumption by controlling your lights with dimmers, programmable light switches, automatic lights, sensors and timers.
Solar Energy Systems:
Reduce your overall home energy costs, qualify for state and federal incentives, and become more environmentally friendly by installing a solar energy system in your home.

TOP FIVE REASONS TO CONSERVE:

1. Reduce your heating and electrical bills.

2. Reduce water, air and soil pollution. This will not only help the environment but protect your children and your grandchildren from chemical pollution and disease.

3. Reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This will help reduce the effects of global warming on our environment.

4. Decrease North America’s energy dependence.

5. Decrease need for fossil fuel, oil, coal, propane, and natural gas. With less of a demand for these types of energy we will be on our way to cleaner more responsible energy use.

ACTIVE ELECTRIC

We heard about Brad Ross the owner of Active Electric, through another Trusted REGINA CONTRACTORS, who used Active Electric on a regular basis as a sub-contractor on renovations that he did....we were told that he was great to work with and he always turned up on time, left the place tidy and does a good job ...which as we all know seems to be RARE indeed in the world of most sub-trades.

ACTIVE ELECTRIC is not the biggest or the longest established Electrical operation in Regina, but Brad is honest, hard working and has good relationships with all REGINA CONTRACTORS he works with on a regular basis, and this in itself is a good indicator of a TRUSTWORTHY REGINA ELECTRICIAN!

When we spoke to his clients as part of the Trusted verification process they all told us how happy they were with him...all of the domestic and commercial clients had glowing words of praise about Brad and they were grateful that they had been recommended ACTIVE. Here is what one client had to say about Active Electric:

"My home had water damage. The contractor that was working with me recommended Active Electric. In the past I have had trouble with trades people not showing up being unreliable.Brad came out to the small town I live in, he really went the extra mile.I couldn't rely on local people but I could rely on Brad. He had to make a few trips out here and he also set up wiring for the contractors or they wouldn't have been able to use their tools.I was impressed with his communication skills as he really listened & problem solved... very proactive. He also gave me more suggestion for future wiring that will be needed in my home. Brad is very polite is obviously an honest person with integrity.I asked him if he would be my electrician like when you want to have the same dentist or hair dressers! Everything he said he would do he did, and his written quote matched the invoice." Bonnie Hedley, Regina

Brad also sees the opportunity to be Trusted will help those people who are looking for him can now find him easily on GOOGLE. He has not yet invested in a website for his business, so was aware that he might be losing referrals because potential clients were struggling to find him online..now that is not the case...now people just type ACTIVE ELECTRIC REGINA into Google and up he pops because of Trusted and our great Local Search Engine Optimization..in fact it won't be long before we are on the first page of Google searches for ' ELECTRICIAN REGINA' and he will be well positioned to get new business as well as solidify all these referrals we know will be happening for him as he does such great work!

Check out his listing here in REGINA ELECTRICIANS on the Regina Directory of excellence...we are proud to have him on board and he sets a great standard for the others that will follow him.
