How To Prevent A Power Surge?<\/h2>\n

Power surges are a sudden spike in the voltage of electricity that runs in and throughout your home. A variety of things can cause them, such as lightning, downed power lines, faulty or damaged wiring, turning high-powered electrical devices on and off, and more. Luckily, there are ways you can prevent them from happening.<\/p>\n

1. Inspect Faulty or Damaged Wiring<\/h4>\n

Wiring that is exposed, faulty or damaged can lead to power surges. However, it can be tough to notice the condition of your wiring so it’s important you know the signs. You may have faulty or damaged wiring if you notice your lights are flickering, outlets are smoking, or there’s a burning smell throughout your home. If you notice any of these signs, contact a professional electrician right away.<\/p>\n

2. Unplug Electronics During A Storm<\/h4>\n

If you notice a storm brewing outside, take the time to unplug all your valuable electronics and appliances. Expensive electronics and appliances might include computers, TVs, and dryers. Sudden spikes in voltage can damage or break electronics and appliances.<\/p>\n

3. Don’t Overload Your Circuits<\/h4>\n

Be mindful of your circuits. If you have a ton of electrical devices in your home, but not enough outlets to plug them all in safely, then you will want to consider getting more installed. We recommend getting a surge protector that has more plugs so you can have electricity evenly distributed. This will help prevent a possible power surge from happening due to a single electrical device taking on too much power.<\/p>\n

4. Install A Whole-Home Surge Protector and suppressor<\/h4>\n

Last but certainly not least, installing a whole-home surge protector and suppressor is one of the best ways to prevent power surges from ruining your expensive electronics and appliances. It’s truly a must-have for any home that has electronics and appliances. We all have expensive equipment we don’t want to see get ruined prematurely – like computers, TVs, HVAC units, refrigerators, dryers, and more. Not only does it protect them in the event of a power surge, but it also helps extend the lifespan of your valuable electronics. Power surges put your equipment at risk, so it’s a good idea to talk to your electrician about installing a surge protector and suppressor in your home.<\/p>\n
