Circuit Interrupter and Whole House Surge Protectors
Serving Greater Milwaukee
Electricity can be dangerous. Power surges from lightning or line issues have the potential to damage sensitive equipment or costly appliances such as TV’s.
Circuit Interrupters & Surge Protection Brookfield
Electricity can be dangerous. Power surges from lightning or line issues have the potential to damage sensitive equipment or costly appliances such as TV’s. At the same time, every day usage of common electrical products (e.g. hair dryers, power tools, microwaves) can lead to similar surges or increased power loads that can cause dangerous arcs or ground shorts which are dangerous to people.
The NEC has rules in place that require the placement of ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) and arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) in certain places within the home. Over the Moon knows these rules, and we also recognize when it’s beneficial to have a little extra protection for older wiring or non-standard use cases. So trust the experts and take a few minutes to re-evaluate the protections on your home and family.

Why GFCIs Matter: Safety and Maintenance Tips
Don’t forget to test your GFCI outlets at least once a month. Simply press the “test” button. If the reset button pops out with a loud click, then your interrupter is working properly. If it doesn’t, the outlet should be replaced immediately.
Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI)
Similar to the GFCI, an AFCI is part of your home’s safety system. It watches the circuit for large power spikes caused by electrical arcs. Unlike your circuit panel which only trips at high loads or your GFCI which disconnects in the event of a short, AFCIs are capable of recognizing dangerous electrical arcs across open air. Once an arc is detected, the AFCI disconnects the circuit, to stop further damage or injury.

Surge Protection
Even then, the best place to stop a surge is before it has the chance to damage anything on your system. Lightning strikes and strong power surges are capable of bullying straight through most defenses. When this happens, standard power strip surge protectors are no match for the destructive power coursing through your electrical grid. A whole-home surge protection system is the only thing that will stop it.
Whole-house surge protectors use a system that is similar to what you’ll find in a standard power strip. The main difference is that they’re designed to handle large-scale power surges. They carefully shunt the excess energy to a safe ground away from your home’s electrical system and can do this multiple times for years to come.
