Preventing Electical Damage from Summer Monsoons

Yes, we are in the midst of the Dog Days of summer. The only problem is, in Arizona, the days last until September. Although we can stand the heat, sometimes the heat comes after us. It is understood that the monsoons in Arizona can be vicious and sudden. It is best to be prepared for all that can happen. With the frequency of lightning during our monsoon storms, there are things we can do to prevent electrical damages to our homes and our businesses.

I have heard all the warnings about the need to be prepared but keeping safe is a priority here at Harmon Electric. Our company employs high standards to keep your buildings safe. It is this standard that has helped us to have the pleasure of helping the Phoenix area grow to its great stature today.

Harmon Electric also cares about the citizens of Phoenix. I would like to remind you all that water, batteries, radios and important phone numbers are always good to have handy. It is also important to remember that your wiring must also be protected.

If you experience an outage, turn off lights, computers, televisions, air conditioners, digital equipment and dishwashers. Surge protectors, while helpful, are not designed to control a surge of large proportions. Shutting off systems is the best way to protect them. Power can be restored more quickly with a lower drain on the overall system. When your power does return, go though your home and restore these items one at a time. Too much of a power drain can overload the grid and knock out power again.

Harmon Electric has served fine companies in Arizona for over 34 years. We care about Arizona and we care about you.
