What Is a Power Surge and What Causes Them?

As the name implies, a surge is a sudden increase in power in your home’s electrical system. While these spikes happen in the blink of an eye and don’t last for more than a second, the intense increase in power causes significant damage to appliances and electronics and can even cause electrical fires. A surge protector’s job is to divert the excess energy to grounding wires before going through to home electronics and appliances. Common causes for power surges include:

  • Lightning storms
  • Power outages
  • Tripped circuit breakers
  • Outdated wiring
  • High-powered appliances

Learn More About Home Surge Protection

Our team of electrical technicians is fully licensed and insured to perform a range of electrical installation, repair, and service panel upgrades, including surge protector, installs. We offer both residential and commercial services, and we’re available 24 hours a day for emergencies. Having us outfit your home with surge protection at the electrical panel and outlets offers the most comprehensive coverage against emergency calls. There are numerous benefits to installing this type of system, including:
  • Electrical damage protection – Power surges follow the path of wires to outlets and will continue into any item that’s plugged into them. These can cause electrical fires that result in excessive damage to the whole house.
  • Layered protection – Our service offers safeguards at two points. Surge protection in the electrical panel diverts power surges caused by a source outside the home and redirects it to the ground. Our layered security also offers protection at the outlet for any surge generated within the walls of your house.
  • Electronic damage protection – All electronics and appliances plugged into an outlet are at risk of harm if your home is not adequately protected. Power surges have the strength to completely damage an appliance or electronic device beyond repair.
  • Safeguarding against in-home power surges – While you may consider an outside source, such as a lightning storm, the biggest danger for power surges, the extra layer of protection at the outlets is critical in protecting your home. In-home surges are responsible for shortening the lifespan of valuable electronics, costing homeowners in replacement purchases.
