What exactly is a power surge?

A power surge is a very sudden and large increase in electrical voltage. There are two types of power surges, internal and external.

An internal power surge is the most common and stems from turning on and off appliances or a trip in the circuit breaker. These types of surges happen multiple times a day, and most go unnoticed. While we may not be able to see them, they are shortening the lifespan of our expensive electronics.

External power surges are far more dangerous and are caused by things such as power grid switching, overvoltages on power lines, or a lightning strike.

How To Protect Your Home From Power Surges

It’s important to protect your home from both internal and external power surges with surge protection. Surge protectors can protect your devices by blocking or redirecting the excess electrical voltage.

Plug-In Surge Protectors: The most common type of surge protectors is plug-in surge protectors that look similar to a power strip. These smaller surge protectors will protect the devices that are plugged into them, but do nothing for larger electrical systems and appliances such as your HVAC system, refrigerator, and stove.
Whole Home Surge Protection: Whole-house surge protection devices are the best defense against power surges. Whole-house surge protection must be embedded in the wiring of your home by a licensed electrician.
