Protect Your Paradise on Earth From Damaging Power Outages

Monday, 06 February 2023

Whether you live in Hawaii full-time or only visit the island parts of the year, make sure your smart home systems are always protected!

During the past few weeks, power outages in Hawaii have been a rather common occurrence due to intense weather. This has prompted residents and businesses alike to take some preventive measures, such as conserving water. For part-time homeowners that don’t live permanently on the island, this might be only a minor inconvenience, but the truth is that the hassle of power outages reaches even those who only visit on weekends or summer vacations.

Power outages are known for damaging electronic systems and devices. If you are a luxury homeowner, you probably rely on technology on a daily basis to make your living experience more enjoyable, comfortable and luxurious.

Keep reading this blog to learn more about how Control Freaks Hawaii can help you protect your electronics during this time.

Are Power Outages Really Bad for My Electronics?

Damage to appliances and smart home features is common during power outages, but it rarely happens because of the loss of power. Usually, the problem arises when energy comes back and the voltage is higher or lower than the proper amount. If the voltage ends up too high, your electronics will suffer a surge, which can cause a tiny blast that burns your components.

These surges tend to impact entertainment systems, computers, refrigerators and more. Appliances often continue to work even after a surge, leading many homeowners to believe their electronics are safe. In reality, large amounts of electricity constantly reaching your devices will damage their internal wiring, as surges physically burn the wires in your appliances. This will lead to a reduced lifespan and, if power outages keep occurring, the total death of your devices.
