Power Up: Essential Steps to Summer-Proof Your Electrical System

Summer is around the corner, and with it comes higher temperatures and increased electrical loads. Whether you’re cooling your home or running a business, preparing your electrical systems for summer is crucial to ensure safety, efficiency, and uninterrupted service. Here are expert tips from AllPhases Electric on how to effectively prepare your home or business for the summer months.

Ensure Efficient Cooling:

Before the heat sets in, have your air conditioning system checked and serviced by a professional. An efficient AC unit not only cools more effectively but also reduces the strain on your electrical system, preventing potential overloads.



Smart Control:

Consider upgrading to a smart thermostat. This device allows you to better control your cooling systems, ensuring they only operate when necessary, thus saving energy and reducing costs.

Safety First:

Ensure that your electrical panel can handle the increased load, especially if you plan to use high-power appliances like air conditioners and refrigerators more frequently. An outdated or faulty panel can be a safety hazard. AllPhases Electric can inspect and upgrade your panel if necessary.

Protect Your Electronics:

Power surges are more common in summer due to heavy electrical loads and thunderstorms. Installing surge protectors can help safeguard your home’s or business’s electronics and appliances from unexpected spikes in voltage.

Avoid Overloads:

If you anticipate adding more appliances or equipment in the summer, consider installing additional circuits. This can help distribute the electrical load more evenly and prevent circuit overloads.

Stay Ahead:

Regular electrical audits can help identify potential issues before they become serious problems, ensuring your system is optimized for peak summer performance.
