According to State Farm: “In the United States, power surges are responsible for hundreds of millions of dollars of property damage every year. Surges can instantly overload and short out the circuitry of home electronics. Over time, surges can also cause cumulative damage to your property, incrementally decreasing the lifespan of televisions, computers, stereo equipment, and anything else plugged into the wall. Learning more about surges – what causes them and how to prevent them – can help save money and keep your property safe.” Click here to read full article.

Residential surge protection has long been viewed as an important safety consideration and guidance has been issued in the past to help homeowners protect their house and its contents. This protection has often been described as being similar to an insurance policy, partly because there is not an NFPA code requirement for SPD installation in residences. Today’s residences often contain electronic equipment throughout, including appliances, ceiling fans, computers, security systems, life safety equipment, automation systems for internet-enabled applications, and home entertainment systems.

 Expensive Items At Risk:

• Televisions & Computers; Washers & Dryers; Refrigerators
• Anything Connected to Outlets; Smart Phones; Tablets; Laptops
• Security Systems; Fuse Boxes
