Surges are sudden and unexpected spikes in voltage that travel throughout your home/office electrical system.
Some surges come from within your own home/office, such as turning on a vacuum cleaner or sending a document to your printer. Other surges come from outside your home, as in electric utility switching, downed power poles, cut power lines, and lightning strikes. Surge can even enter through cable televisions and telephone wiring.
Statistics:
- A five year survey of power quality in North America indicates that per household there are 35 disruptive or destructive power disturbances per year.
- Deregulation of the electric utility industry is expected to decrease the quality of utility power in the near future.
- Annually, 30% of power outages are lightning related.
-Five percent of all insurance claims are lightning related, amounting to over $1 billion per year.
It’s far LESS expensive to invest in protection than its to replace costly appliance.
