Power Surge Impact
Any gadget containing a microprocessor can be affected by a power surge. These often include appliances such as computers, TVs, refrigerators, microwaves, and dishwashers. Large power surges can destroy your circuits, while smaller surges can gradually wear down the internal circuitry of your appliances, leading to eventual malfunction.
Causes of Power Surges
High-power appliances are a primary source of power surges. The electricity required to switch motors and compressors on and off can trigger power surges. Appliances with heating elements, such as microwaves and clothes dryers, are particularly susceptible. Other causes include:
- Overconsumption of electricity
- Stormy weather, particularly lightning
- Damaged or fallen power lines
- Incorrectly installed or faulty electrical wiring
- Transformer or utility company line issues:
Why Install a Whole-House Surge Protector?
We strongly recommend every home should have a whole-house surge protector. Even small power surges can gradually damage your devices, leading to eventual breakdown. Often, there are no warning signs until your appliances stop working, and regular power strips can't give the level of protection needed. The best way to protect your home and devices from electrical failure is to install a whole-house surge protector.
Financial Risks Without Surge Protection
Without a whole-house surge protector, you could face a significant financial burden. Its primary role is to prevent total loss of your electronics and appliances. It can protect everything from your computer data to your high-end kitchen appliances, offering invaluable peace of mind and protection against power surges. The cost of installing a whole-house surge protector is a sensible investment compared to potential losses.
