Homes today have an estimated $15,000 worth of electronics and may experience up to 100 surges per month that can degrade or damage your electronics, shortening their life expectancy. When surge protection is installed at the electrical panel, it helps protect all the devices in the home. Plug surge strips alone can not offer the same protection
So what is a surge? A surge is defined as a very fast, short-term, high voltage variation above 110% of nominal. Surges most often come from lightning strikes, the utility lines and from heavy loads from within your home.
As electronic components have become smaller and more powerful, they have also become more sensitive. The fact is that almost every electronic device now features a high circuit density with microchips that contain thousands of transistors on a single chip. For this reason, having proper surge protection is very important.
Larger appliances such as washers, driers, A/C's and refrigerators play a part in the surges in your electrical system. Having a whole home surge protector will not only defend against surges these appliances make, but also protect the appliances themselves against damage, and against a shortened lifespan.
