Power surges are, in reality, very common compared to what many homeowners would think. A spike of electricity has the capability of destroying expensive electronics as well as appliances. These range from computers to TVs, as well as refrigerators and HVAC systems; a single surge is enough to cause damage beyond repair.
The only way this can be prevented is by investing in surge protection, something every Virginia Beach homeowner should do.
What Causes Power Surges?
Lightning strikes, faulty wiring, sudden power outages, and large appliances cycling on and off all contribute to triggering power surges. Even small power surges will reduce the life of electronics, while larger ones will cause instant damage.
How Surge Protection Works
Surge protector devices redirect extreme voltage out and away from your electrical system at home, keeping your appliances safe. This can be ensured by professional installation:
- Right positioning for overall household protection
- Meeting the local electrical codes
- Reliability, as well as long-term safety
