What is a Power Surge?
A power surge is a sudden spike in electrical power that travels through your home’s electrical system. These surges can be caused by issues with utility power during and after outages, lightning strikes, or malfunctioning electrical components in your home. Large power surges can easily overload any electrical device, from a phone to an air conditioner, causing irreparable damage and potentially leading to costly electrical repairs and circuit issues.
Why Surge Protection Is Important For Your Entire Home
Many people use plug-in strip surge protectors to safeguard specific devices from power surges. However, this type of protection is limited and often doesn't cover large appliances. In fact, modern homes typically contain around $15,000 worth of unprotected equipment!
Whole-home surge protectors offer comprehensive protection for all your plugged-in devices. Installed in your circuit panel, these protectors ensure that a power surge is stopped at the source, preventing it from reaching and damaging your appliances. This provides a much safer and more effective solution than typical plug-in strips.
