What Is a Power Surge and What Causes It?
A power surge is a rapid spike in voltage. It can happen for a number of reasons, including:
- Lightning strikes or downed power lines
- Poor wiring
- Shifts in voltage from the electricity coming into your home
- Surges from your appliances, such as your heating and cooling system, washer and dryer, and electric stove
Without adequate protection, power surges can damage your electronic appliances, as well as your outlets. This can have devastating consequences for homes and businesses.
In commercial and industrial settings, the downtime resulting from a surge costs $130,000 per event on average, according to the Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI).
How Outdated Wiring Can Create Power Surges
Before the 1960s, copper was the most common material for household wiring. Aluminum wiring was widely used between the 60s and mid-70s when the price of copper increased, but copper became the preferred material again by the late 1970s.
If you have an older home with aluminum wiring, you may want to consider rewiring. Outdated wiring can become damaged and lead to power surges. Temperature changes cause aluminum wiring to easily lose its shape and structure. Aluminum wiring puts your home at greater risk of electrical fires and may even void your homeowner's insurance policy.

How Can I Protect My Home From Power Surges?
Fortunately, there are several ways you can prevent power surges from impacting your home. These three safety measures will protect your electronics and equipment:
Whole-House Surge Protectors
Whole-house surge protectors mount onto your circuit breaker. They are designed to protect your home from electrical voltage spikes and surges. If your whole-house surge protector detects an abnormality, it will divert the extra voltage safely into the ground. This protects your entire home, including your electronics, appliances, and wiring.
Surge-Protecting Outlets
Surge-protecting outlets redirect energy into the ground via a designated circuit. This ensures the surges won't harm your electronic devices. However, they only offer protection to devices plugged into them.
If there are specific devices you'd like to protect, such as your television, these are the perfect solution. Additionally, they are relatively simple to install.
Plug-In Surge Protectors
This type of surge protector is portable and perfect for home offices, as well as media consoles. It is essentially a power strip with surge protection (but remember, not all power strips are surge protectors). Simply plug it into an outlet, and then plug your devices into the surge protector.

I scheduled my annual furnace tune-up and the whole process was seamless. The tech was punctual, thorough, and left the work area cleaner than he found it. He noticed a small issue with the igniter that could have caused problems later and took care of it on the spot. It's nice to head into winter knowing everything is in good shape.

We decided to switch from our old gas furnace to a heat pump, and this company made it painless. The crew arrived on time, worked efficiently, and walked us through how to use the new thermostat before they left. It's been a few weeks now and our energy bills are already noticeably lower. Really impressed with the professionalism from start to finish.

Our AC died right in the middle of a heat wave, and I was convinced we'd be waiting days for help. I called first thing in the morning expecting to be told they were booked solid, but they fit us in that same afternoon. The technician showed up within a few hours and got straight to work diagnosing the problem. He found the issue quickly and had the unit running again before dinner. What I really appreciated was that he took the time to explain what went wrong and gave me some tips to avoid the same issue in the future. No upselling, no pressure, just honest and efficient service. Couldn't be happier and will definitely call them again.

Response from COMPANY NAME:
