🌩️ Protect Your HVAC Investment: Why Surge Protectors Are Essential After Recent Storms
At Texas AC Services, we’ve been getting a lot of service calls following the recent storms across North Texas. From power outages to electrical surges, extreme weather can wreak havoc on HVAC systems. If your home or business has experienced electrical issues recently, now is the time to ask yourself: Do I have proper surge protection for my HVAC equipment?
If the answer is no—or you're not sure—read on.
⚡ What Is a Power Surge?
A power surge is a sudden spike in voltage that can enter your home’s electrical system and damage sensitive electronics and appliances, including your HVAC system. These surges can be caused by:
Lightning strikes
Downed power lines
Utility grid switching
Large appliances cycling on/off
Storm-related electrical issues
Even small, repeated surges over time can degrade the internal components of your heating and cooling system—leading to costly repairs or early replacement.
🛡️ Why Surge Protectors Matter for HVAC Systems
Modern HVAC systems are complex machines with circuit boards, sensors, and motors—all of which are vulnerable to electrical fluctuations. A whole-home or dedicated HVAC surge protector can:
Prevent costly damage to your air conditioner, furnace, or heat pump
Extend the life of your HVAC system
Protect your warranty, as many manufacturers void warranties due to surge-related damage
Give you peace of mind during storms or unpredictable power events
Installing a surge protector is a small investment that could save you thousands of dollars down the line.
💡 Not All Surge Protectors Are Created Equal
There are different types of surge protection:
Whole-home surge protectors: Installed at your electrical panel to protect your entire home.
HVAC-specific surge protectors: Installed at the outdoor condenser unit or furnace to guard the most expensive components.
At Texas AC Services, we recommend having both levels of protection—especially in storm-prone areas like North Texas.
