Lightning / Surge Protection

Surges are sudden and unexpected spikes in voltage that travel throughout your electrical system.

Some surges come from within your own building, such as turning on a computer or sending a document to your printer.  Other surges come from outside, as in electric utility switching, downed power poles, cut power lines and lightning strikes.  Surges can even enter through cable televisions and telephone wiring.  For example, if lightning strikes a Florida area business or somewhere around it, a surge may go through the electrical system and anything that is plugged in may get “zapped” whether it is turned on or off.
