Protect Your House Against Surge Damage
Between your televisions, laptops, computers, tablets, and other devices, you’ve likely invested a lot of money in the electronics in your home. That’s why it’s important to protect your devices against surge damage. You can do this by installing a whole-house surge protector. This can help protect you against the following risks:
- Lightning Strikes: Your home could be at risk if a lightning strike hits up to a mile away. Your homeowner’s insurance policy might not protect you against this possible damage.
- Increased Energy Output: Your home’s energy output rises as temperatures get higher, increasing the risk of surge damage.
- Energy Spikes: The average home can get hit with 20 energy spikes a day.
Surge Protectors vs Power Strips
Surge protectors and power strips are not the same – and they offer different levels of protection. Power strips can help when plugging in electronics in your home. They are an expansion of the wall outlet and typically have a circuit breaker on/off switch. However, these do not protect against electrical surges. For protection against power strikes, you need surge protectors.

To install these systems in your home, hire a licensed electrician. The professional will need to hard-wire the surge protector to your electrical box. He or she will also need to ensure these are properly grounded so they can work properly.
Adding a whole-house surge protector can help keep your electronics safe and functioning as expected — and protect your investment!
