What Is a Surge?

Power surges occur when electricity is sent flowing back through an electrical system, or when the flow of electricity is interrupted and then suddenly restarted again. While you might not realize it, surges are actually a fairly common occurrence, it’s just that most surges occur at a fairly low voltage. When lightning strikes a transformer, however, it can cause a powerful surge that can send thousands of volts through household appliances and electronics, which is when you need to get an electrician involved.

The big problem with surges is that they can cause a lot of damage to electronics. Every electronic device is designed to handle a certain amount of power and pushing more than that to the device can overload it. When a strong power surge hits your Wilmington, NC, home and shoots out into electrical devices and appliances throughout it, it can fry everything in its path.

Mister Sparky of Wilmington employs the best electricians to make sure you don’t have to worry about power surges in your home. If you want to act before something happens to your appliances, surge protection is the way to go. Here are some of the benefits of investing in surge protection from a professional electrician:

Extends the lifespan of electronic equipment
Prevents major damage to circuits and electronic equipment
Prevents sparks which can result in fires
Saves your business from data loss
Keeps crucial system components up and running at important times

The Importance of Surge Protection

For most people, electricity is one of the most important parts of modern life. Even if you don’t find yourself using electronics all day long, most people make use of some of the basics multiple times every day. Whether you want to wake up to hot water in the morning, cook a hot meal for dinner or make sure you can watch the game when it’s on, you need to keep your electronics in good shape.

Mister Sparky of Wilmington can help you install surge protection in your home to prevent the potential damage that can come with an electrical surge. A single surge from a bolt of lightning can cost you thousands depending on which electronics and appliances it affects, so having surge protection installed can actually save you a bundle.

Electrical surges can also be dangerous in some cases. If there’s too much power flowing through an outlet or wire, it could cause something to catch fire. While this might not always be the case with power surges, this is another in a long list of reasons why you should make sure your Wilmington, NC, home is protected from power surges.
