Protecting Your Appliances and Your Wallet

You just got a new washing machine…

It has all the bells and whistles, and you don’t plan on having to replace it anytime soon.

If your home is hit with an unexpected power surge, though, that’s exactly what you’ll have to do.

Here are 3 reasons you need to have a
whole house surge protector installed today.

Comprehensive Protection for Your Appliances, Devices, and Your Wallet

Many people think power surges can only affect electronics like computers and televisions. 

This used to be true—before all your other appliances began incorporating the same delicate, fragile microchips. Microchips are easily overheated and “fried” by a power surge.
 

Because Thunderstorm Season is Around the Corner

Lightning strikes and downed power lines are common causes of power surges. 

In a flash (literally), a bolt can hit your home, causing a surge, that blows out light bulbs, and appliances all at once.

The wind from storms also puts you at risk of downed power lines, which can cause the voltage to fluctuate wildly. This creates sporadic surges until the electricity finally goes out. 


Because Surges Happen More Often than Lightning Strikes

Lightning strikes can cause especially harmful electrical surges. But they’re not the only cause.

Much more common instances, such as utility companies restoring or disconnecting power, repairing blown transformers, or even branches and trees falling onto power lines, can lead to significant surges. 


Whole House Surge Protectors Save Your Appliances—and Money

Whole home surge protectors are hard-wired to your panel. When it detects unusually high voltages or even small spikes in voltage, it diverts the excess power away from your home and safely neutralizes it. This diversion saves your devices and more.

Don't wait for the surge to strike.

Act now and ensure your home is shielded from the unpredictable nature of electricity. Install a whole home surge protector!
