Power Surges & Their Consequences

Power surges are sudden and significant spikes in voltage that can damage or destroy electronic equipment. These surges can be caused by:

• Lightning Strikes: Lightning strikes near your home or even miles away can induce surges through power lines.
• Power Grid Issues: Equipment failures or malfunctions within the power grid can cause voltage fluctuations.
• Internal Transients: Switching on/off of major appliances within your home can create small surges.

The consequences of power surges can range from minor inconveniences to complete equipment failure. Here are some potential outcomes:

• Damaged Electronics: Sensitive electronics like TVs, computers, and home entertainment systems are particularly vulnerable to surge damage.
• Appliance Failure: Power surges can damage appliances like refrigerators, dishwashers, and HVAC systems.
• Data Loss: Surge-related issues can corrupt or erase data stored on computers and other electronic devices.
• Fire Hazards: In extreme cases, power surges can overheat wiring and electrical components, posing a fire risk.

The Benefits of Whole-Home Surge Protection

A whole-home surge protector is a device installed at your electrical panel that safeguards your entire home's electrical system from damaging power surges. Here's why whole-home surge protection is a worthwhile investment for your Northern Virginia home:

• Comprehensive Protection: Unlike surge protectors plugged into individual outlets, a whole-home surge protector shields your entire electrical system, including hardwired appliances and those connected to dedicated circuits.
• Enhanced Safety: By mitigating surge damage, whole-home surge protection reduces the risk of electrical fires caused by overheating wires.
• Peace of Mind: Knowing your valuable electronics and appliances are protected from unexpected power surges provides peace of mind and a sense of security.
• Improved Equipment Lifespan: By safeguarding against surges, whole-home surge protection can extend the lifespan of your electronics and appliances.
• Potential Insurance Benefits: Some insurance companies offer discounts on homeowner's insurance for properties with whole-home surge protection.
