What is a power surge?

A power surge is a sudden and unwanted increase in voltage that can damage, degrade, or destroy electronic equipment. Surges can occur when large appliances, such as air conditioners, turn on and off. Surges can also originate from electric utilities or lightning.

Levels of Surge Protection:

Good: Point-of-Use Surge Protection

Easy to use – just plug in
Only protects electronics plugged into the device
Must be replaced over time or after a major surge event

Best: Whole Home Surge Protection

Must be installed by a qualified electrician
Provides protection for your entire electrical system at home including large appliances, outlets, and light switches
Protects against larger surges and provide longer lasting surge protection than point-of-use devices

No surge protection can handle a direct lightning strike… power strips and surge protectors are not the same. Not all power strips offer surge protection. You bet. Are all surge protection systems equal? Absolutely not.

A Home Surge Protector is your best approach to safety. Let Rockwall Electric install a Whole Home Surge Protector for your peace of mind. Ensure your valuable electronics and appliances are protected from home power surges and nearby lightning strikes.
