What Is a Power Surge?
A power surge is a sudden spike in electricity that can damage your appliances, electronics, and even your home’s wiring. These surges can come from:
Lightning strikes (common in Texas storms)
Utility grid fluctuations
High-powered appliances turning on and off (like air conditioners)
Faulty or outdated wiring
Without protection, these surges slowly wear down your devices—even if they don’t cause immediate damage.
How a Whole-Home Surge Protector Works
A whole-home surge protector is installed at your electrical panel and acts as a shield, stopping dangerous voltage spikes before they can reach your outlets, appliances, and electronics.
Unlike cheap power strips, this protects your entire home, including:
✅ HVAC systems
✅ Refrigerators & freezers
✅ Televisions & computers
✅ Security systems & cameras
✅ Smart home devices
