Power Surge Causes


The operation of heavy-duty electrical devices is a typical cause of power surges. Energy used to switch motors and compressors on and off can trigger surges. Microwaves and clothes dryers are particularly susceptible due to their heating elements. Other causes of power surges include:

  • Excessive electricity consumption
  • Extreme weather, like lightning
  • Damaged or collapsed power lines
  • Improperly installed or defective electrical wiring
  • Issues with transformers or utility company lines
  • The installation of a residential surge protector is highly recommended for every home. Even slight power surges can cause progressive damage to devices, leading to their breakdown. With no apparent signs until complete device failure, power strips are not sufficient for total device protection. Installing a whole house surge protector is the optimum way to protect your home and devices from electrical failure.
