  • A power surge is an unexpected, significant increase in voltage that surpasses what is considered a normal flow of electricity through a given circuit. These surges cause a wide range of damage, from minor decreases of appliance performance to the complete destruction of electronic devices. The duration of a power surge may be brief, but the potential damage to sensitive electronics and appliances within your home is often severe and long-lasting.

  • There is more than one potential cause of a power surge, but there are two primary sources. Believe it or not, power surges can come from either an external or internal source.

    • External Source: The most dramatic external cause of a power surge is when lightning strikes, which causes overwhelming electrical energy to travel through power lines into your home’s electrical systems. Other external causes can include utility grid fluctuations, such as power outages or grid switching, and incidents like downed power lines.
    • Internal Source: Internal power surges are often caused by large appliances cycling on and off, creating sudden demands for electricity that disrupt the stable flow of voltage and generate surges that affect the entire home.

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

A whole-house surge protector is a vital device that connects to your home's electrical panel. It monitors the electricity entering your home and automatically diverts excess voltage away from your home's electrical circuits and safely into the ground. This comprehensive level of protection helps to prevent the possible damage caused to your appliances and electronics by large external surges and smaller, more frequent internal surges.

Electronics and large appliances cost a lot of money. You don’t want to have to replace them all at once due to a power surge. A whole-house surge protector acts as a barrier against excessive voltage, protecting your electronic devices and appliances.
