Unfortunately, there is no way to plan for a power surge. Instead, you’re simply forced to address the consequences of these surges, regardless of how expensive and inconvenient they can be. While we will address the causes of power surges in a moment, we should first look at the damage that they can cause. When power surges occur, they can do serious damage to electrical appliances and the plugins in your home. When too much power surges into a plugin where an appliance is hooked up, it can actually destroy the inner components of the appliance. When a power surge strikes, you can be forced to replace these appliances, which is often an expensive proposition.

There are a variety of things that can cause power surges, making the need for surge protection in Camarillo, CA even greater. When you understand what can cause a power surge, you may better appreciate the need for surge protection.
Electrical storms: When most people hear about power surges, they automatically think about electrical storms. Yes, this is one of the most common causes. When lightning strikes, it is naturally drawn to conductors of electricity. Unfortunately, the electrical outlets in your home provide that. When a surge of power from an electrical storm meets a plugin that you have your washer, dryer, refrigerator, or other electrical appliance plugged into, a power surge is a likely occurrence.
Bad wiring: Depending on the age of your home, the wiring inside may not be in the best condition. Over time, wiring, just like anything else, experiences wear and tear and can struggle to keep up. When wiring is damaged, the chance for a power surge increases greatly. Additionally, small pests or rodents can make their way into the walls of your home and damage wiring. Bad wiring can result in a power surge when you turn on an appliance, leaving that appliance seriously damaged, if not ruined.
Overloaded outlets: Do you have an outlet in your home that has multiple appliances and devices plugged into it? If so, you may have the recipe for a power surge right in front of you. Outlets are designed to handle a certain amount of voltage. If you have too many items plugged into these outlets, they simply can’t keep up with the demand and will often overcompensate when one of those devices or appliances is turned on.
The power strips that you can purchase at any big-box retailer are labeled as surge protectors. While they can provide some relief from power surges, they are hardly capable of handling massive power surges. Whole-home surge protectors work as a filter. These protectors, which can be installed in a matter of hours, ensure that only safe amounts of electricity make it into your home. Our electricians can install the protector in your circuit box, ensuring that power surges are caught before they can damage your home.
