Consider the value of the electrical items in your home. All it takes is a second for a power surge to destroy them. With so many people working from home, this is especially important to guard against.

Consider the following:
⚡️40% of all computer crashes and data losses come from power surges.
⚡️Half of surges come from inside your home, when large appliances turn on and off.
⚡️The voltage in your home is 240 volts. A surge can be 10 times+ stronger than this.

We recommend a two stage approach to protection:
1. Primary Surge Protection at the point of entry (at the main panel)
2. Secondary Surge Protection at the point of use (surge strip).

Whether you are replacing your existing panel or simply adding surge protection to your existing one, we are ready to help. bertoiaelectric.com
