What Is a Surge Protector and Why Do I Need One?
A surge protector is an electronic device that is either installed at your home’s electrical panel or plugged into a home outlet. It is designed to safeguard your electronics from power surges. A power surge is a sudden, dangerous spike in electrical voltage. It can damage devices like computers, servers, televisions, and home appliances. Surge protectors divert the excess electrical voltage into your home’s grounding wire. This prevents harmful voltage spikes and reduces the risk of electrical damage, electrocution, and electrical fires.
Different Types of Surge Protectors for Homes
We can help you determine what type of surge protector is right for your home. We have experience installing all types, from whole-house surge protectors to individual surge protection devices:
- Point-of-Use Surge Protection – A point-of-use surge protector is a power strip or plug-in unit that connects directly to your electrical outlet. It allows you to plug sensitive or expensive electronic equipment directly into the surge protector. It is best for smaller electronics like televisions, computers, and audio/video equipment.
- Whole Home Surge Protection – A whole-house surge protector is installed at the main electrical service entrance or on your home’s subpanel. It protects against major external power surges caused by lightning strikes and transformer damage, or secondary internal power surges that come from inside your home. It offers the most comprehensive protection and is ideal for homes with a wide range of different electronic devices and appliances.
