What is a Power Surge?
A power surge is a sudden spike in your home's electrical current. These surges last only a fraction of a second but can reach thousands of volts, frying delicate electronics and appliances.
The Limits of Power Strips
Many homeowners rely on point-of-use surge protectors (power strips) to protect their computers and TVs. While helpful, these strips offer no protection for your hardwired appliances like HVAC systems, refrigerators, and ovens.
Complete Protection
A whole-home surge protector is installed directly into your main electrical panel. It blocks incoming voltage spikes from external sources (like lightning or grid fluctuations) from ever reaching your home's circuits.
Internal Surges
Up to 80% of power surges are actually generated internally when major appliances cycle on and off. A whole-home system helps manage and absorb these internal surges as well.
Cost-Effective Peace of Mind
Compared to the cost of replacing multiple fried appliances, a whole-home surge protector is a very affordable investment in your home's safety.
