Why Do I Need a Whole Home Surge Protector?
An electrical power surge can happen at nearly any moment for several reasons. A home surge protector will protect your devices from being overpowered and destroyed no matter the cause of the surge. Some of the most common reasons why a power surge may occur in your home include:
- Faulty Wiring – Your home's wiring is designed to provide a constant, even flow of electricity to outlets. However, faulty wiring may allow a conductive material such as a piece of metal to increase the voltage.
- Downed Power Lines – When the electricity in your home is cut due to a downed power line, crews work to get the power back as soon as possible. When the power comes back on, a sudden rush of electricity to all the lights and outlets can cause them to short out.
- Power Line Issues – The same principle when dealing with a downed power line applies when the utility company begins working on the power. An instantaneous spike in power can cause your electrical devices to short out.
