  • A power surge is an unexpected and significant increase in voltage that exceeds the standard electrical flow in a home or building’s electrical circuit. This spike can last for just a fraction of a second, but its impact can be substantial, potentially damaging electronic devices and appliances, shortening their lifespan, or completely halting their operation. Surges can vary in magnitude, with some being relatively minor and others powerful enough to cause immediate and noticeable damage.

  • Power surges can arise from both external and internal sources. Externally, they are most commonly caused by lightning strikes, which can send a massive amount of electrical energy through the power lines and into the home's electrical system. Other external factors include utility grid issues such as power outages and grid switching, as well as downed power lines. Internally, surges often result from high-powered appliances cycling on and off, creating a sudden demand for electricity that disrupts the system's voltage flow.

What is a Whole-House Surge Protector, and How Does it Work?


A whole-house surge protector is a device connected to the main electrical panel of your home. It serves as a powerful shield, protecting your entire electrical system from the influx of excessive voltage. By continuously monitoring the electricity that enters your home, it detects voltage spikes and diverts any excess energy safely to the ground, away from your home's electrical circuits. This not only protects your appliances and electronic devices from the direct effects of surges but also prevents the cumulative damage that can occur from smaller, repetitive spikes, extending the life of your electronics and electrical system.
