  • So, what causes a power surge? Power surges are most often caused by one appliance pulling more electricity. When a heavy-duty device, like a refrigerator’s compressor, turns on, it increases the demand for electricity, increasing the voltage flowing through that circuit. Without a surge protector, this extra load enters your whole home, damaging other appliances. There are many reasons that the voltage in your electrical system can spike, though. Some of the most common reasons you might see a power surge include:

    • Damaged power lines
    • An issue with your wiring
    • Problems with the utility company’s lines, transformers, or other components of their system
    • Lightning can cause a power outage, blowing through power strip surge protectors. However, it is very rare.
  • A whole house surge protector protects your home at your circuit breaker box, where electricity from the power grid enters your home. This means that anytime there is a power surge, the whole home surge protector will cut off that excess voltage from your entire home, not just a power strip. On top of that, a whole house surge protector is rated for longer usage than a standard surge protector and can handle even the most powerful occurrences of electrical overload.

Power Surges Explained

Your electrical devices are designed to handle a very specific amount of electricity. When the voltage running through any circuit of your home spikes suddenly, it is considered a power surge. Severe power surges can cause the wiring, circuitry, and microchips in your appliances and devices to heat up to the point of failure and even fire. Mild or sustained power surges can put a strain on devices, reducing their lifespan or compromising their performance. Some of the appliances that a sudden power surge can destroy include:

  • Refrigerators
  • Clothes dryers
  • Coffee makers
  • Flatscreen TVs
  • Air conditioners
  • Microwave ovens
  • Washing machines
  • Desktop computers
  • Ovens, ranges, and stoves
  • Plugged-in smartphones, laptops, and tablets
