Trusted Whole House Surge Protector Installation Professional

There are numerous causes of power surges that originate inside and outside of the home in Marion or Seguin. Even if a power surge has never caused any damage to your electronics, it doesn’t mean they are safe. Even a small discrepancy in electricity can cause significant harm to your television, dryer, refrigerator, or other major appliance causing hundreds or thousands of dollars of damage in an instant. Some of the most common causes of electrical surges include the following:

• Wiring – Old or worn wiring is one of the leading causes of power surges in homes. When the wire can’t handle the electrical demands required to power many of your home’s electronics, it can lead to a power surge.
• Lightning – While it’s unlikely a lightning strike will cause a power surge, it’s not unheard of entirely. Depending on the proximity of your home to the strike, it can short out your electrical system in less than a second. No amount of whole home surge protection will protect against a direct lightning strike.
• Overload – Has turning on your dryer ever caused your lights to flicker? If so, your electrical system may be overburdened. Over time it could lead your electrical system to short out altogether.
• Momentary Outages – Any number of things, including heavy windstorms, can cause you to lose power temporarily. When the power kicks back on in your home, it can lead to a significant power surge that may damage your appliances.
