Have you actually stopped to think about how much you would spend to replace all these major appliances in the event of a power surge?
A sudden power surge can cause significant damage to your washer, dryer, refrigerator, dish washer, oven/stove and air conditioner. Not to mention the possible loss of all of your personal electronic devices with their extra sensitive components.
power surge overview
Power surges are spikes in electricity flowing into your home. The spike is often very brief, lasting less than a thousandth of a second, but can still cause severe damage to your home and appliances.
- Surges from devices and motors:
Refrigerators, air conditioners and even space heaters can cause a power surge strong enough to damage electrical systems.
- Surges from Nearby Lightning Strikes:
Lightning strikes are another common cause of power surges. A lightning strike doesn’t have to occur right at your home to cause a spike in your electrical current. In fact, striking close to a power line can cause a spike that can be very damaging to your appliances.
