Energy Shield
Whole House Surge Protection
From outside your home, lightning can cause enormous spikes on the
electrical lines. But there are dozens of sources inside the home too.
Washers, fans, air conditioners, shop tools, refrigerators or virtually
any electrical appliance that can be turned off and on creates spikes.
Unfortunately, the expensive electronics are at the greatest risk.
Spikes don't affect things like fans, motors, or light bulbs. They're
dangerous only to equipment with microchips. These include:
- Personal computers & peripherals
- Stereo equipment
- Televisions and VCR's
- Microwave ovens
MVEA can deliver the protection solution. We will provide you with
a whole-house protection network that safeguards your household electronics
and is tailored to meet your needs.
Leviton, North America's leading
manufacturer of electronic wiring devices, produces the surge suppressors
we supply. They're provided with an outstanding Downline Warranty that
backs the surge suppressors themselves AND the electronic equipment
you plug them into.
UPS - Uninterruptible Power Supply
If there is a loss of utility power, a UPS device will temporarily
replace utility power. A UPS provides clean, reliable power to eleminate
computer downtime due to brownouts and to prevent equipment damage from
power surges. UPS systems can also prevent computer data file corruption
and data loss during short power outages. The software that accompanies
many UPS systems allows an orderly shutdown in case of prolonged outage.

UPS can tell you at a glance:
- Input voltage status
- Battery charge condition
- Load capacity
- Communications activities
- Site wiring faults
