Surge Protection

When you go the extra mile and install high end mini-splits and invertor AC units, you’re committed to being green. But that does not stop the impact of power surges and failures so common in Southeastern Colorado. Protect your investment in high end Heat and AC by having Evergreen Electric install a Line Voltage Monitor.

Variable speed heat pumps use sophisticated electronics to operate. Like your home computer, variable speed heat pump are sensitive to surges and variations in line voltage. Replacing a variable speed heat pump’s control boards can be expensive, many hundreds of dollars expensive, not to mention the inconvenience of having your HVAC system shut down for repairs.

A line voltage monitor with surge protection offers a simple, inexpensive way to protect variable speed heat pumps against over and under voltage, rapid short cycling, brownouts, and power surges. A bank of five surge arresters protects against power spikes and other elements add extra controls to monitor and diagnose line voltage issues.

A fault history feature records and retains the most recent faults in non-volatile memory to allow rapid diagnostic tests that point out when and where to resolve any problems in the system on an easy to view backlit digital display. A built-in 40-amp contactor adds extra protection against power surges. Programmable set points allow cutoff parameters to be tailored to your system’s particular needs.

Best line voltage monitors also have waterproof, NEMA-rated enclosures making them easy to install and set up indoors or out.
