Surge Protection
Protect your wires, devices, and appliances
You don’t have to understand anything about electricity or electrical work to understand the need for surge protection in your home. It’s easy enough to grasp that some currents can be more powerful than usual, and perhaps dangerously so. These surges might go unnoticed by the homeowner, but may still wreak havoc as they occur over time. These little spikes in electricity can wear down your wires and systems gradually, or they may suddenly cause an electrical fire and create an emergency situation.

You don’t have to understand anything about electricity or electrical work to understand the need for surge protection in your home. It’s easy enough to grasp that some currents can be more powerful than usual, and perhaps dangerously so. These surges might go unnoticed by the homeowner, but may still wreak havoc as they occur over time. These little spikes in electricity can wear down your wires and systems gradually, or they may suddenly cause an electrical fire and create an emergency situation.
Surge protection is crucial for this reason. Fortunately, it’s as simple as purchasing a surge protector strip into which you plug various electronics, devices, and appliances. However, this should not be the only step taken to protect your home from surges. These strips can wear down over time, so while it’s fine to use them, you really want to opt for “whole-home” surge protection if possible. Your chosen electrician can take a look in and around your home to determine what your needs are to keep things safe from surges.
This is part of why it’s so important to have a grounding conductor to ensure you’re protected on every square inch of your property. Stronger surges call for a more robust solution, and power strips aren’t enough to fend off every spike in electricity. Again, have a professional come to assess the situation, even if you think you already have proper coverage from surges: you may not be protecting an area that could later prove risky.
