What Is Surge Protection?

A surge protector is designed to protect your important devices and electrical appliances from a power surge. It is basically a type of electrical socket with a specialized circuit. When a surge occurs, this circuit redirects the electricity spikes into the ground, keeping them from going through your devices.

In a sense, surge protection is like the electrical version of a dam on a river. When a flood of electricity arrives, the extra electricity is released out of the system. A normal dam prevents severe floods from occurring. Similarly, a surge protector lets off the extra electricity so your devices aren’t damaged from severe surges.

Most Alexandria residents have already used a similar device. Power strips are surge protectors that can be used on a single electrical outlet. A whole-home surge protector is unique because it protects your entire property from power surges. It is typically installed at your breaker panel to stop any electrical surges that enter your home.

Many types of surge protectors are available, so it can be difficult to figure out which one is right for your home. Before you begin your search, consider your price range and overall goals. Then, you can consider which options will work best for your property’s needs.

If you are interested in getting a whole-house surge protector, there are a few things you should look for:

Lights or alarms that will tell you when the device has received a power surge
A surge rating of 40,000 amps or higher
A total price that includes the device and installation costs
Manufacturer’s warranties for potential problems
Positive reviews of the electrician’s services
