  • A power surge represents an abrupt increase in electrical voltage that dramatically surpasses the standard level. While it may last for only a fraction of a second, its impact can be monumental. This fleeting burst of electricity can strain or damage the internal circuitry of household appliances and electronic devices, possibly diminishing their performance or lifespan or, in severe cases, leading to total device failure.
  • The causes of power surges are manifold. Lightning strikes serve as a primary instigator, and while direct hits are uncommon, even distant strikes can produce surges potent enough to affect a home's electrical system. Within the home environment, day-to-day activities, such as turning large appliances on or off, can generate minor surges. External factors also come into play, including disturbances in the utility grid from equipment malfunctions, maintenance activities, or unforeseen events like trees falling onto power lines. Essentially, many things can cause a power surge, and they can happen at any time.

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

A whole-house surge protector operates as a shield for your entire home's electrical network. Integrated directly into the main electrical panel, its role is to continuously monitor the flow of electricity into your residence. On detecting an incoming surge, the protector springs into immediate action. It redirects the excessive voltage, channeling it into the ground and away from your home's circuits. Doing so prevents the surge from reaching and potentially damaging connected appliances and devices. The result is an uninterrupted, safe electrical flow throughout your residence.
