  • A power surge occurs when a sudden change in voltage exceeds 120 volts. The wiring in the affected device starts to burn as it overheats. Most modern-day devices have circuitry and microchips, making them more sensitive to changing voltage levels. Even a small power surge can compromise these devices’ performance.

  • The most common reason you may have a power surge is the operation of heavy-duty electrical devices. High-powered electrical devices like dryers and refrigerators need a significant amount of electricity to perform and are more susceptible to power surges.

    Your appliances with heating elements are also highly sensitive to power surges. Toggling high-power devices and electrical equipment creates significant demands for electricity that often disrupts the constant flow of voltage.

    The most common causes of power surges include the following:

    • Though it is rare, lighting causes power surges
    • Downed power lines
    • Problems with electrical wiring
    • Utility company’s line, transformer, or components issue

Power Strips Versus Whole House Surge Protectors

A whole house surge protector is different from a power strip with multiple devices plugged into it. A small surge protector passes electrical currents from your outlet to the devices in the strip. These power strips only offer limited protection for your devices during a power surge. A whole house surge protector withstands any spike in electricity because it is hard-wired to handle the power.

Benefits of Installing a Whole House Surge Protector in Land O’ Lakes

Power surges can damage many different devices and appliances in your home. The most significant danger is that a power surge can completely wipe out these devices, leaving you to replace them. It’s important to remember that you may not be home during a power surge. You can unplug devices when you’re home during a severe storm, but this is not always the case. You can have peace of mind with a whole house power surge protector. 

By preventing electrical surges over certain voltages from entering your home, surge protection helps keep your electrical wiring, sockets and circuits operating properly to render the system as a whole as safe as possible. Protecting your investments reduces the risk of damage, allowing you to save money in the long run. 

  • A whole house surge protector protects your appliances and devices from any level of electricity. We typically recommend two or more types of whole house surge protectors. The three main types of surge protectors include the following:

    • Type One Whole House Protection: We install a Type One surge protector between your meter and power lines.
    • Type Two Whole House Protection: A Type Two surge protector is installed between your breaker box and meter.
    • Type Three Point-of-Use: We can install wall outlet protectors where you plug in your appliances.
