Surge Protection

Commercial Surge Protection in Genesee, Oakland, and Macomb County, MI

Electrical surges can disrupt critical business equipment even when lightning hasn’t directly struck your building. In fact, power surges caused by lightning strikes miles away can still find their way into your computer networks, production machinery, and other sensitive technology.

When lightning strikes the ground, it can travel up to 3 miles to find a path of least resistance. If your business is within this radius, the excess energy may enter any conductive material such as ductwork, cabling, or plumbing.

Surge Protection FAQs

Are Over-the-Counter Surge Protectors Enough?
No. No matter how expensive the surge protector is, a professional, layered approach is best for protecting your most vulnerable assets. Our surge solutions can protect electronics, machinery, data, security systems, access control, and more. We can work alongside building contractors to ensure robust functionality and full integration.
Are Underground Cables Protected from Lightning?
While underground cables provide a higher level of isolation from lightning strikes than aerial cables, they are still vulnerable to nearby ground flashes and other local fluctuations in power. We recommend surge protection to be installed on facilities supplied by both aerial and underground power.
