Southern Trust Home Services says homeowners should consider whole home surge protectors and generators to provide additional protection and power continuity

ROANOKE, Va. , June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- With the summer thunderstorm season on the horizon,  Southern Trust Home Services, a leading electrical, HVAC and plumbing company serving southwest Virginia , says that homeowners should protect their home and property from power surges, particularly if they have expensive electronic equipment and depend on lifesaving medical devices.

"Virginia has about seven tornadoes and 40 days of thunderstorm activity a year, and Roanoke is particularly vulnerable to late afternoon thunderstorms," said Ted Puzio , owner of Southern Trust Home Services. "This means that your family could experience anything from major power surges to power outages than can last for hours, if not days. This can cause damage to your home's electrical equipment or cut the power to any healthcare devices like breathing machines or home dialysis equipment."

Puzio said preventing damage from power surges and maintaining functionality during outages should be planned before storm season arrives. He suggested homeowners try the following:

"It may be expensive to consider a generator or new wiring, but the alternative is to replace expensive equipment that could add up to more," Puzio said. "And, if you have a loved one who relies on life-saving devices, being without power or losing their equipment due to a power surge could result in your having to rush them to the hospital to continue their care until the power comes back on or the equipment is replaced. We simply want Virginians to be protected during this volatile season."
