Benefits of Surge Protection for Your Home
By utilizing whole-home surge protectors and power strips, you can minimize the risk of damage from power surges and other electrical issues. Surge protection offers the following benefits for any home:
Total Protection for Your Technology
A power surge can cause severe damage to all major devices in your home that are connected to an outlet. Electronics such as televisions, computers, chargers, consoles, and other everyday items can suffer severe damage to their internal batteries or circuit boards, rendering them unusable. In addition to technology, surge protectors can also protect your appliances—refrigerators, washers, dryers, ovens— from damage.
Cost Savings and Peace of Mind
In addition to prolonging the usable life of your devices and appliances, surge protectors can prevent the need for costly repairs. Some damage caused by power surges can render devices completely inoperable, resulting in the need for expensive replacements. A surge protector often costs a fraction of the price of a large television or computer, making it a worthwhile investment. By using a whole-home surge protector and power strips for all major outlets in your home, you are saving money while maintaining peace of mind, even during a power outage.
Options for Every Home
Quality surge protection can be installed in any home. With a variety of surge protectors and power strips available on the market, there is a solution for any budget. While power strips can be safely installed by any homeowner, whole-home surge protectors often need to be installed by a certified electrician due to the complexity of the job.
