  • To keep your devices safe from power surges, it's important to first understand what they are. A power surge happens when there’s a sudden spike in voltage, far exceeding the normal 120 volts. This surge can cause the wiring in your devices to overheat and even burn. With so much technology playing essential and frequent parts in our daily lives, devices like computers, TVs, phones, stereos, microwaves, and other costly electronics are at risk. Many of these gadgets and devices contain sensitive microchips or circuitry, making them especially vulnerable to voltage spikes. The most effective way to safeguard your electronics is by installing whole-home surge protection through Mr. Electric of the Coastal Empire. Even minor power surges can lead to the following issues:

    • Put a strain on your devices
    • Compromise their performance
    • Destroy them

What Can Cause a Power Surge?

Understanding the causes of power surges is just as important as knowing what they are, and we're glad to explain how these voltage spikes can happen. One frequent cause of power surges is the regular operation of large electrical appliances. Devices like air conditioners, refrigerators, and clothes dryers often require a substantial amount of energy to turn their motors or compressors on and off. This sudden power demand can interrupt the steady flow of electricity in your home’s system, leading to a power surge. Take a look at some other possible causes of power surges below:

  • Fallen electrical lines
  • Damaged or defective wiring
  • Problems with utility infrastructure, including lines, transformers, and related equipment
  • Lightning strikes, though uncommon, can create massive power surges, generating millions of volts that can overpower even high-quality surge protectors.

  • When most people think of surge protectors, they often imagine a power strip with several devices plugged in. Surge protectors work by channeling electricity from an outlet to the connected devices. If a power surge or spike occurs, the excess electricity is diverted to a component within the power strip called metal oxide varistors (MOVs). Basic power strips commonly available in stores or online retail sites provide only minimal protection. Furthermore, you typically need to replace them after experiencing a single surge. To ensure better protection for your electronics, having a seasoned and skillful electrician install a whole-house surge protector is the ideal solution.
