Why Do Power Surges Occur?

Power surges, which can damage your home and appliances, stem from various sources, including:

  • Overloaded Circuits: Plugging too many appliances into one circuit can cause a surge when the circuit can't handle the load.
  • Faulty Wiring: Old or damaged wiring can create electrical imbalances and surges.
  • Lightning Strikes: When lightning strikes near power lines, it can cause a massive surge of electrical energy to travel through the lines.
  • Power Outages and Restoration: After a power outage, the sudden restoration of power can cause a power surge.
  • Power Grid Issues: Problems with the power grid, like malfunctions or fluctuations in voltage, can lead to surges.

What Are the Benefits of Surge Protectors?

Develop a fortress of protection for your electrical devices by accessing Randy’s Electric whole-house surge protector installation services in Minneapolis and the surrounding area. Here are the six key advantages:

Enhanced Safety

A whole house surge protector helps prevent damage to sensitive electronics and appliances, reducing the risk of data loss or costly replacements.

Transient Surges Protection

Internal surges caused by switching on heavy appliances such as air conditioners can direct power surges to nearby appliances, so installing a whole house surge protector can save you from costly repairs or replacements.

Prevention of Costly Repairs

High voltages can irrevocably damage the circuit board of your electrical appliances, by installing whole-house surge protectors can save you from repair and replacement costs.

Electrical Fire Prevention

Power surges are a common reason behind the cause of fire electric hazards. Whole house surge protectors direct external currents preventing them from damaging outlets.

Safeguard Against Damage

These protection devices eliminate potential risks such as data loss, electrical hazards and other damages incurred by power surges.

Increased Device Lifetime

Appliances sensitive to sudden voltage spikes can be damaged, and surge protectors help prevent this by diverting excess voltage and extending the lifespan of electronics.

Signs You Need Whole-House Surge Protection

Residents of Minneapolis experience heavy thunderstorms following June that can cause external power outages and blackouts leading to power surges. Installing a whole house surge protector would be the right upgrade if you experience any of the following signs:
