Surge Protection


Even small power surges can damage electronic equipment, significantly reducing their lifespan. The average home experiences over 2,200 surges each year, often caused by appliances like heaters, dryers, and garage door openers, as well as motors starting in larger appliances. While these surges are usually minor and go unnoticed, they can wear down your electronics over time. During thunderstorms, larger surges may cause immediate failures, which are often mistakenly attributed to lightning. However, the real damage often comes from frequent, smaller surges from everyday devices. Installing whole-house surge protection with proper grounding, along with individual protection for each device, offers the best defense against these risks.
