Surge Protection
Protect Your Electronics and Appliances from Unexpected Power Surges
Power surges are sudden spikes in voltage that travel through your home’s electrical system. They can be brief but extremely powerful, damaging or destroying electronics and appliances instantly. Surges can originate inside your home, from devices like vacuum cleaners or printers, or outside, caused by lightning strikes, power line issues, or utility switching. Even cable or telephone wiring can carry dangerous voltage spikes.
Why Your Home Needs Surge Protection
Most homeowners are unaware that their home experiences hundreds of small power surges every day. While many are minor, they can degrade electronics over time. Larger surges, such as those caused by nearby lightning strikes, can instantly destroy appliances, TVs, computers, and other devices, often requiring costly replacements.
Whole-home surge protection intercepts these surges before they reach your valuable equipment, providing peace of mind and long-term savings.
The Facts About Power Surges
- An average North American household experiences 35 disruptive or destructive power disturbances per year.
- Lightning-related events account for 30% of annual power outages.
- 5% of all insurance claims relate to lightning damage, totaling over $1 billion annually.
- Replacing electronics after a surge can cost $8,000 on average, and over $20,000 in homes with sophisticated systems or home offices
- Investing in surge protection is far more affordable than replacing damaged equipment.
