Understanding Surge Protectors
Surge protectors shield electronics and appliances from sudden voltage spikes that can occur during lightning storms, grid switching, downed power lines, and more. They detect excess voltage and safely redirect it to the ground wire, absorbing excess energy to protect your most valuable devices and systems.
Whole-Home Surge Protection
Unlike power strips that offer limited protection for a small number of outlets in your home, a whole-home surge protection system provides broad coverage. It is installed in your home’s electrical panel to protect all circuits simultaneously, providing long-term safety for your home electronics and appliances.
Why Surge Protection Matters
Homeowners should consider investing in whole-home surge protection because these systems:
- Prevent damage to electronics: Power surges can damage circuit boards and overheat internal components, resulting in damage or destruction.
- Extends appliance lifespans: Repeated small surges can wear down appliances over time, resulting in a gradual decline in performance that shortens their lifespans.
- Protects valuable equipment: Computers, TVs, HVAC systems, and more can sustain costly damage from power surges.
- Reduces fire risk: Surge protection adds an extra layer of protection against overheating or wire damage caused by high voltage.
Types Of Surge Protection Options
There are several types of surge protection options on the market, each with its own unique benefits:
- Power strip surge protection provides an additional layer of protection for single devices such as computers, gaming consoles, or TVs.
- Appliance-specific surge protection: Some surge protection systems can be built into in-wall-value appliances such as HVAC, refrigerators, water heaters, and more.
- Surge-protection outlets: These outlets provide surge protection and are excellent options for home offices, entertainment centers, or workshops.
- Whole-home surge protection: The most comprehensive protection against electrical surges is a whole-home system installed at your electrical panel
