What Causes Power Surges?
When your electrical devices are exposed to significantly more voltage, it causes what’s known as a power surge. These surges can originate from several different sources, including:
- Lightning Storms: In the most severe cases, lightning can produce more than 50,000 volts of electricity, burning out your system in no time.
- Power Lines: When the power lines near your home are downed due to a storm, your electrical system may become overloaded.
- Electrical Demand: During times of increased power demand, power surges can roll through entire neighborhoods simultaneously.
- Cycling Appliances: When large appliances that consume a lot of energy turn on or off, it can result in an internal power surge within your home.
- Faulty Wiring: If the wiring in your home is older, it may not have the proper capacity to handle your electrical demands, leading to frequent surges.
Regardless of what’s causing the power surges in your home, it’s best to keep your devices safe with a surge protector.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need surge protection?
One power surge won’t destroy your electrical devices. However, many surges over time can lead to irreparable damage to your electrical system and equipment. Installing a whole-home surge protector is the best way to protect your devices from long-term damage.
Do surge protectors last forever?
No, they don’t. Surge protectors diminish in strength every time they reroute a surge away from your connected devices. As such, the more surges they intercept, the less protection they can provide. How long your surge protector lasts will depend on the frequency and strength of the surges it encounters.
What’s the difference between a surge protector and a power strip?
A power strip is an extension of your wall outlet that provides more outlets to power your devices. While these might look like surge protectors, they do not offer the same protection against high voltage. Only surge protectors are designed to provide additional outlets while protecting devices from power surges.
