Why you need surge protection

In typical homes, the value of electrical equipment and electronics has significantly increased. But these systems are extremely sensitive and vulnerable to electrical surges caused by lightning. While the circuit breakers and fuses will provide AC protection, these aren’t sufficient when it comes to providing total protection. Electrical surges can be caused by:

• Lightning strikes
• Problems transformers close to your home
• Upgrade to the power grid by the Utility Provider

Whenever there is a surge, it lasts for just a few seconds. However, the damage it causes, can be extremely costly. In certain cases, you are able to seek compensation from insurance companies, but that may not always be the case. Most homeowners today protect crucial electronics such as home theater systems, video equipment, etc. using surge strips. But expensive large appliances such as washers, dryers, dishwashers, refrigerators, air conditioners, computers that etc. also need proper surge protection.
