ADVANTAGES OF INSTALLING A HOME SURGE PROTECTOR

05/10/2023

Have you ever noticed your power go out for a split second? You may have had a power surge or voltage spike in your home. This can occur from electrical outages, overloading circuits, or forces of nature such as lighting storms and blizzards. When a power surge happens, there’s a high chance of appliances, electronic devices, and systems getting damaged. In today’s blog, you’ll learn about the advantages of installing a home surge protector and how it can help protect your electronic equipment.

What’s a Home Surge Protector

First off, what’s a home surge protector? It’s a compact device that is designed specifically to protect your electrical equipment, devices, and appliances from power surges and voltage spikes. This humble device diverts excess voltage from your electronic equipment and pulls it to the ground.

Why does the excess voltage get pulled to the ground?

Low electrical resistance is held in the ground. This is where all of the extra voltage can neutralize and dissipate.

Choose a surge protector for your particular situation. Some homes have minimal electronic devices and appliances, whereas other homes have home offices, multi-family inhabitants, and even multiple kitchens. In order to best protect your home from destroying expensive appliances and electronic equipment, surge protectors are an incredibly cost-effective way of preventing damaged products.
