Surges are sudden and unexpected spikes in voltage that travel throughout your home’s electrical system.
Some surges come from within your home or busniess, such as turning on a vacuum cleaner or sending a document through a fax or printer. Other surges come from outside, as in electric utility switching, downed power poles, cut power lines and lightning strikes. Surge can even enter through cable televisions and telephone wiring. For example, if lighting strikes a Florida property 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.
Voltage Electric, Inc. can protect your property with a surge protector. Additionally, entertainment equipment and computers should be protected with a surge bar.
