A modern variable-speed HVAC system uses expensive electronics
Today’s modern variable-speed inverter-driven air conditioning systems – including mini-splits, whole-home systems, heat pumps, AC units, and furnaces – contain very complex electronic circuit boards, making each circuit board especially vulnerable to damage. These electronics are also very susceptible to damage from grid fluctuations, electrical surges, power surges, and brownouts, and their replacement cost can exceed $1000-$2000!
HVAC systems are major appliances that require protection from electrical surges and power surges. Investing in surge protection is essential for the longevity of your HVAC equipment, including heating and heat pump systems, helping to safeguard your investment and avoid costly repairs.
EasySurge protects these electronics better than the low-cost standard surge protectors by suppressing the surge AND temporarily disconnecting the HVAC from the grid
EasySurge Guardian is a robust device built to shield your air conditioner’s electrical components by preventing sudden and unexpected electrical surges from passing through. Unlike lower cost surge protectors that only attempt to suppress the entire surge, this unit not only suppresses the surge but also quickly disconnects your HVAC system via its high-powered relays to block voltage spikes before they can cause any harm, ensuring reliable protection.
The device features a green LED indicator to confirm proper operation, giving you peace of mind that your system is protected. After the grid returns to normal, EasySurge automatically reconnects your HVAC system, allowing normal operation to resume. EasySurge also records such events and provides optional alerts via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to keep you informed that the protection is active.
HVAC System Vulnerabilities
HVAC systems are among the most vulnerable appliances in your home when it comes to electrical surges and power spikes. Sensitive HVAC components like control boards, motors, and compressors can be easily damaged by sudden voltage surges. They originate from external sources such as lightning strikes and grid fluctuations, or from internal events like the cycling of large appliances. Most homeowners are unaware of just how susceptible their HVAC equipment is to these electrical disturbances, which can result in costly repairs, reduced performance, or even complete system failure.
This type of surge protector is essential for safeguarding your HVAC system. Installing a dedicated HVAC surge protector adds an extra layer of defense, specifically designed to shield your HVAC equipment from the unique risks posed by power surges and electrical spikes.
Regular maintenance and inspection of your electrical system and surge protection devices are crucial to ensure ongoing safety and reliability. By investing in proper surge protection, homeowners can protect their HVAC systems from unexpected surges, avoid costly repairs, and maintain optimal performance. Installing a surge protector is a smart, proactive step that provides peace of mind and helps safeguard your home’s comfort and value for years to come.
Surge Protector Installation
The EasySurge Guardian connects easily, even for those with basic electrical knowledge, which is optimal for a DIY installation. EasySurge gets located adjacent to the electrical service disconnect on the side of your house next to your air conditioning system, and the device is designed to protect any 240V HVAC equipment. If you have previously installed the Micro-Air EasyStart, you can most certainly wire in the EasySurge. And of course, if you are not comfortable installing EasySurge yourself, it can also be installed professionally by an HVAC service technician or electrician.
The price of the EasySurge Guardian is affordable, especially when compared to professional installation or the potential repair costs from surge damage. As a trusted brand in the world of HVAC protection, EasySurge offers reliability and peace of mind. Users can feel hope and confidence knowing their system is protected from unexpected power surges.
