Protect your HVAC system against power surges.
Did you know the average home experiences up to 100 power surges a day? Power surges can cause damage to your electronic devices over time. You may already be protecting your large electronics such as your TV or computer. Don’t forget to protect your heating and air system, too.
What does an Elite by Mauzy HVAC surge protector do?
Often overlooked and much like a surge protector for your TV, an HVAC surge protector protects your system from hundreds of power surges that occur throughout the year. The surge protector redirects high voltage surges, like those from lightning, into the ground and away from your HVAC system. There are other sources of power surges, such as those coming from your home appliances, which can cause damage to your system over time.
How does it work?
An Elite by Mauzy HVAC surge protector interrupts energy spikes to keep your system safe by:
- Diverting excess energy away from the system
- Breaking the electrical circuit to block overloads
When a small power spike occurs, the Elite by Mauzy surge protector blocks the excess charge to the system’s grounding wire, keeping the unit connected but safe. If there is a large power surge, the surge protector detects the excess energy and immediately cuts power to it. The surge protector is then destroyed, keeping your unit protected and safe to operate.
Do I need a surge protector for each unit?
Yes, it is highly recommended to install a surge protector for your air conditioner and one for your furnace. As each unit is powered separately, installing a surge protector for each keeps both your AC and heater protected.
How much does it cost to install?
The cost of an Elite by Mauzy (Model: EM10188) surge protector with installation is $733 (per unit).
