Benefits of Home Surge Protection
Whole-home surge protection secures every electrical device in your home, ranging from internet routers and computers to televisions and security systems. While individual protection works for specific devices, you do not have to pick and choose with whole-home protection.
Furthermore, a full surge protector extends your devices’ lifespans. Power surges can overheat, short-circuit, or fail devices, shortening their lifespans. Surge protection prevents the excess voltage that can damage your electronics.
It is no secret that lightning strikes can damage your home’s electrical system. Luckily, a surge protector monitors the current and voltage flowing through the system. When lightning strikes, the protector safely redirects the surge and current to the ground. This action reduces the risk of damage to your electronics.
While whole-home surge protection costs more than an individual protector, it saves you money over time. The protector prevents costly damage to your electrical devices and appliances, allowing you to save on expensive repairs and replacements.
Unfortunately, power surges can cause overheating and fires. The good news is that a whole-home surge protector reduces the risk of fire. This is because the protector controls voltage spikes and prevents electrical overloads.
