Surge Protection

Protect Your Home's Electronics from Costly Surge Damage

Power surges are caused by lightning, utility problems, and the switching on and off of appliances. They can cause malfunctions, premature failures, and damage to your home entertainment center, computer, appliances, and air conditioners. However, the damage is preventable by applying proven protection principles combined with industrial-strength surge protection from ASCO Whole Home Surge Protection. Call us at 321-632-COLD (2653) and you can rest assured our technicians have the skills and tools to get the job done.

When You Need Surge Protection

Voltage spikes can originate from either within your home, such as from blown fuses, or external sources, including lightning or damaged power infrastructure. If a voltage spike hits your house, any appliances that are plugged in will likely be damaged, even if they are turned off.

If you plan to sell your home at any point, protecting against voltage spikes will help increase its resale value. Potential buyers will view this feature as one less thing to worry about, especially in a hurricane-prone area like Brevard County.

Hurricane and Tropical Storm Related Threats

Living in Florida means facing the reality of hurricane season every year. Along with high winds and flooding, these powerful storms bring one of the most overlooked threats to your home: devastating electrical surges that can destroy thousands of dollars’ worth of appliances and electronics in seconds.

When hurricanes and tropical storms strike our area, lightning activity and power grid instability create the perfect storm for electrical surges. These weather events pose unique electrical threats, including:

  • Lightning strikes during severe storms with intense electrical activity
  • Power grid fluctuations occur when utilities restore service after widespread outages
  • Downed power lines from hurricane-force winds and flying debris
  • Electrical system damage from storm surge and flooding
  • Transformer explosions caused by wind-blown debris and saltwater exposure
  • Repeated power cycling as the grid struggles to maintain stability during storms


Don’t wait until the next hurricane or tropical storm warning to protect your investment.
Professional surge protection installation before storm season can save you thousands in replacement costs for your refrigerator, air conditioning system, televisions, computers, and other essential appliances.

Out-of-Date Electrical Infrastructure

Many of Brevard County’s neighborhoods and communities were established decades ago, when homes had far fewer electrical demands. These older communities face unique electrical challenges as aging home wiring systems struggle to support today’s technology-filled lifestyles in our demanding coastal climate.

Infrastructure Issues That Increase Surge Risk:

  • Aging transformers that are more prone to failure and voltage fluctuations
  • Outdated power lines that can’t handle today’s electrical demands
  • Salt air corrosion that deteriorates electrical components faster than in inland areas
  • Overloaded circuits during peak air conditioning season, when everyone’s system runs constantly
  • Frequent utility maintenance that causes power interruptions and restoration surges
  • Construction activity that can damage underground cables and cause grid instability


Even on calm, sunny days, our aging electrical grid can produce dangerous surges that threaten your valuable electronics and appliances. Professional whole-home surge protection provides 24/7 defense against these infrastructure-related electrical hazards.

The Most Common Items to Protect

Consider every appliance you plug into an outlet in your home:

  • Televisions
  • Kitchen appliances
  • Washers and dryers
  • Computers
  • Printers and scanners


Imagine how expensive it would be to replace all those appliances, and what would happen if the melted wires sparked an electrical fire.

Most of the expensive appliances in our homes, such as computers and printers, come with microprocessors, which are multipurpose devices that handle digital data for both input and output functions.

These units are sensitive to power surges and, if damaged, may require complete replacement. Not only will you incur repair or replacement costs, but you may also lose valuable data.
