Common Causes of Power Surges
Heavy-duty electrical devices in operation are a common cause of power surges. The energy used to switch motors and compressors on and off can lead to power surges. Microwaves and clothes dryers are highly surge-sensitive due to heating elements. Other power surge causes include the following:
- High electricity use
- Inclement weather, including lightning
- Damaged or downed power lines
- Incorrectly installed or faulty electrical wiring
- Transformer or utility company line issues
The Importance of Installing a Whole House Surge Protector
Whole house surge protectors are highly recommended for all homes. Even minor power surges can cause gradual device degradation leading to breakage. With no visible signs until your devices completely stop working, power strips cannot be solely relied upon for device protection. Whole house surge protector installation is the most effective way to shield your home and devices from electronic failure.
Risks of Not Installing a Whole House Surge Protector
Not having a whole house surge protector can be heavy on your budget. Its most crucial function is protecting your electronics and appliances from complete loss. It can shield everything from your computer data to costly kitchen appliances. It offers priceless peace of mind, ensuring your device's safety against surges. The installation cost of a whole house surge protector is a smart investment compared to the potential loss of your electronics and appliances.
