How Surge Protection Can Save Your Business Thousands

⚡️ How Surge Protection Can Save Your Business Thousands

Running a business in today’s tech-driven world means relying on electronic equipment, smart systems, and constant connectivity. But did you know that one powerful electrical surge can shut everything down in seconds? At Barum Electric, we believe every business owner should know the real risks electrical surges bring—and how to stop them before they cost you thousands.

🚨 What Causes Electrical Surges in Commercial Buildings?

Electrical surges are sudden spikes in voltage that can fry sensitive equipment and disrupt your operations. Here are some of the most common sources:

• Lightning Strikes: Even when storms aren’t directly overhead, nearby lightning can jump to your building’s wiring.
• Power Grid Switches: Utility companies often switch grids—causing brief but powerful surges.
• Large Equipment Cycling: Devices like HVAC units, elevators, or industrial motors turning on and off create internal surges.
• Faulty Wiring & Circuits: Outdated or damaged wiring is a hotspot for surges, especially during repairs or maintenance.
• Unexpected Outages: Sudden loss of power followed by restoration sends a shock through your system.

If you use lighting, panels & breakers, machines, appliances, or even phone, internet & data cabling, your business is at risk!

💸 The Real Cost of an Unprotected Business

It’s easy to think a surge might just trip a breaker. The truth is much more expensive. Here’s what’s at stake:

• Damaged Equipment: Computers, servers, POS terminals, security systems, EV chargers, and even lighting can be ruined beyond repair.
• Lost Data: Data loss (from corrupted hard drives or network equipment) can mean lost sales, billing errors, and legal headaches.
• Downtime: Every hour you can’t operate means lost income. For restaurants, shops, or factories, that’s big money.
• Safety Hazards: Surges can spark fires, damaging property and putting lives at risk.
• Insurance Hassles: Claims are complicated, and some policies don’t cover surge damage if you lack proper protection.

Example:
A local manufacturing company called us after a summer storm. One surge knocked out their entire machine wiring and production line computers. Total damage: $18,000 in equipment and two days’ lost production. Their surge protection wasn’t up to standard—now they’re protected with Barum Electric’s commercial surge solutions!

🛡️ Why Whole-Building Surge Protection Is Essential

Plug-in surge strips help, but only for small devices. They won’t stop the big surges that travel through your building’s wiring—threatening every outlet, switch, breaker, and appliance in the network.

Benefits of whole-building surge protection:

• Shields all wiring & circuits: from ceiling fans to industrial machines
• Covers hard-to-reach systems like doorbell & intercom, low voltage systems, backup generators, and pool & spa electrical
• Prevents surge-related fires by stopping excess voltage at the panel
• Lasts longer & requires less ongoing attention than dozens of plug-in strips
