Power Surges: Causes and Risks

Some of the most common causes of a power surge include

  • Lightning: If lightning strikes near your home, it can cause a power surge that affects your entire electrical system.
  • Electrical overload: Systems and devices like HVAC systems, refrigerators, and electrical machinery use a large amount of electricity and can cause a power surge if you frequently turn them on and off.
  • Power outages: After a power outage, when power is restored, the large boost in electrical current can lead to a power surge.
  • Faulty wiring: If your electrical wiring is damaged or outdated, it can cause issues throughout your electrical system, including power surges.
  • Power grid switching: If your utility company switches power grids, it can result in a power surge.

The National Electrical Manufacturers Association estimates that 60-80% of power surges are created within a home or business, often attributed to powering large devices on and off. Infrequent small surges may cause little to no damage to your devices. However, recurring small surges will slowly degrade them, and large power surges can cause significant damage. A power surge will damage anything in your home or business that uses electricity or contains a microprocessor. This includes your electronic devices, appliances, heating, air conditioning, lighting, and more.

What is a Surge Protector?

Your HVAC system and appliances are some of the most valuable things in your home and business, and they’re the most vulnerable during a power surge. A surge protector protects your electrical systems and devices and extends their lifespan by preventing damage from small and large power surges.

When excess voltage approaches your home, a home surge protector redirects it to the ground. It acts as a barrier by absorbing and diverting the surge’s electrical energy, protecting your home from damage. Power surges are unpredictable, so many home and business owners opt for installing a surge protector to ensure their electrical devices are always safe from excess voltage.
