The Importance of Surge Protection

Lightning Storm

Today’s homes rely on advanced electronics and appliances that are more sensitive than ever to power disturbances. Protect your valuable equipment from voltage fluctuations, spikes, and other electrical events that can cause costly damage.

What Causes Power Disturbances?

  • Lightning: The Tennessee Valley averages around 60 days of thunderstorms each year. A nearby lightning strike can send damaging voltage through your home’s electrical system in an instant.
  • Equipment Cycling: The normal start-up and cycling of large appliances — such as refrigerators, HVAC systems, or pumps — can create small voltage fluctuations that, over time, may degrade sensitive electronics.
  • Accidents: Unexpected events such as power line contact or equipment failure can lead to temporary voltage spikes that may damage computers, TVs, and other devices.

Protect your home — and your investment — with high quality surge protection devices.
