A storm, a power outage or a switching operation on the grid can send a voltage spike that damages this board or the compressor module. Replacing a board puts the unit out of service, sometimes in the middle of winter. A surge protector installed at the unit reduces this risk, in addition to whole-house protection at the electrical panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere and how it is installed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn the unit's circuit, usually at the \u003cstrong\u003eoutdoor disconnect\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnected by qualified personnel, in accordance with the Québec Electrical Code.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurge protector voltage chosen to match the unit's voltage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it does not do\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA surge protector limits transient overvoltages; it does not protect against a direct lightning strike or against poor grounding.
