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.

Whole-Home Surge Protection FAQs for Metro Detroit Homeowners

Power surges can gradually damage televisions, computers, HVAC equipment, kitchen appliances, smart home devices, and other electronics. A whole-home surge protector helps redirect excess voltage before it reaches equipment throughout your house.
No. Surge protectors absorb or redirect excess voltage each time a surge occurs, which can reduce their protective capacity over time. Their lifespan depends on the number and strength of the surges they encounter. Some systems include an indicator that shows when replacement is needed.
A basic power strip provides additional outlets but may not offer meaningful surge protection. A surge-protective power strip includes components designed to limit excess voltage. Whole-home surge protection is installed near the electrical panel to help protect circuits and connected equipment throughout the house.
Power surges can be caused by lightning, damaged utility lines, power restoration after an outage, increased neighborhood electrical demand, faulty wiring, and large appliances cycling on or off. Michigan thunderstorms, strong winds, snow, and ice can also contribute to utility disruptions that affect your home’s power.
A whole-home surge protector can reduce the damage caused by many lightning-related voltage spikes, but no device can guarantee complete protection from a direct lightning strike. Layered protection that combines a whole-home system with point-of-use surge protectors provides additional protection for sensitive electronics.
Whole-home surge protection can help protect equipment connected to your electrical system, including furnaces, air conditioners, refrigerators, washers, dryers, televisions, computers, and smart home devices. The level of protection depends on the surge, installation, wiring condition, and equipment used.
Possible warning signs include flickering lights, frequently tripped circuit breakers, damaged electronics, buzzing outlets, and problems when large appliances start or stop. These symptoms may also indicate faulty wiring or an electrical panel problem, so a professional inspection is recommended.
A whole-home surge protector is typically connected at or near the main electrical panel so it can respond to excess voltage entering the home’s electrical system. Installation should be completed by a licensed electrician who can confirm that the panel, grounding, and wiring are in suitable condition.
Yes. Older homes may have aging wiring, outdated panels, limited grounding, or electrical systems that were not designed for modern electronics and appliances. FLAME can inspect the home’s wiring and electrical panel before recommending an appropriate surge protection solution.
FLAME provides whole-home surge protector installation and electrical services in Detroit, Warren, and communities throughout Metro Detroit. The team can evaluate your electrical panel, wiring, grounding, appliances, and household power needs before recommending a surge protection system.
