Although the average home outlet operates at 120 volts, the actual voltage passing through it can vary considerably, even under normal circumstances. However, when the voltage passing through a typical household circuit exceeds 169 volts, it’s called a power surge. Unfortunately, many of your home’s electrical devices don’t have any built-in protection against power surges.
Power surges can damage or destroy them. Things like computers and other small electronics are most vulnerable to damage from power surges. So are devices that operate on direct current and use plug-in transformers to convert the alternating current from your home’s outlets.
A power surge can happen due to something as simple as a large motor turning on, like when your central AC powers up. Or, they can happen if a utility pole gets struck by lightning. A surge protection installation adds protective circuitry that detects and arrests power surges before they can damage anything in your home.
Investing in whole-home surge protection comes with a variety of benefits:
Protects devices from damage
Reduces risk of electrical fires
Better protection than power strips
Protects large appliances
A whole-house surge protector is a device that gets installed in your home’s main electrical panel. That puts it in the perfect position to stop surges from outside your home, as well as any that arise from internal electrical malfunctions. They can provide you with peace of mind in knowing your home has a full-time shield against momentary fluctuations in electrical voltage.
