Frequently Asked Questions
What causes power surges?
Power surges are caused by lightning strikes, utility grid switching, downed power lines, and large appliances cycling on/off (AC, refrigerator). Even small surges over time can damage electronics.
How does whole-house surge protection work?
A whole-house surge protector is installed at your electrical panel and diverts excess voltage to ground before it reaches your home’s wiring, protecting all connected devices and appliances.
Do I still need power strips with whole-house protection?
Whole-house protection provides primary defense, but quality power strips add a second layer of protection for sensitive electronics like computers and home theater equipment. We recommend both for maximum protection.
How long does surge protection last?
Quality whole-house surge protectors last 5-10 years or until they absorb a major surge. Most have indicator lights that show when they need replacement. We recommend inspection every 3-5 years.
