Combat Power Loss with a Surge Protector
A power surge can be the result of several different factors. These issues are commonly sparked by electrical devices demanding power that your home’s electric system cannot supply. However, many other factors may play a role in a power surge, including the following:
Power Demand Inefficiencies
Large appliances and heavy-duty electronics, including refrigerators, dryers, and air conditioners, require an increased power supply. Devices that require heating may also compromise your power. When your home cannot support these demands, you may experience a power surge.
Faulty Electrical Wiring
Modern electrical wiring is a necessity when it comes to implementing new-age devices in your home. If your home’s wiring is outdated or needs it, it may not be equipped to accommodate the power demands of your electronics and appliances, resulting in a power surge.
Fallen Power Lines or Power Supply Company Problems
In some cases, a power surge has nothing to do with your home’s power and results from the city’s power supply. If your local power supply company experiences a power malfunction, including downed power lines, you may lose power to your home.
Inclement Weather
Intense storms, including rain, snow, and excessive wind, can disrupt your home’s power supply. This is often the result of the city’s lines becoming compromised. However, in any case, it’s important to have a whole-house surge protector in place to avoid the negative consequences of these situations.
Enhance Electrical Protection for Your Home
Whole-house surge protector systems work to move electricity through a current that goes from your wall outlet straight into your electronic devices. With these fixtures, the surge protector will be triggered if a power surge occurs. The electricity is then rerouted directly to the metal oxide varistors in your power strip.
