Surge protection is important because a power spike can damage or ruin your electronics at any time. It's even more important around storm season when power grids can be vulnerable to electrical storms, downed trees, and cranked-up A/C, which can quickly destroy sensitive equipment.
  • The average household gets 350 power surges per year
  • Overvoltage, power surges and voltage spikes occur five times a day on average
  • Over 50% of equipment failure can be attributed to power surge/failure

SO WHAT EXACTLY IS A SURGE PROTECTOR?
A surge protector is your first line of defense against voltage spikes and power surges that can harm or even ruin your electronic equipment. Power strips, which provide extension and extra outlets, may look like surge protectors, but they don't offer any safeguard from voltage fluctuations.

WHAT IS A POWER SURGE?
A power surge is a short-term spike in voltage when something boosts the electrical charge in the power lines. Power surges in the home are commonly caused by turning high-powered electrical devices like an A/C system on or off. Other causes might include faulty wiring, downed power lines or lightning strikes sometimes caused by stormy weather. Experts recommend that you replace your surge protector every 3-4 years.
