What Causes Electrical Surges?

A surge is a burst of high-voltage electrical energy to your home’s wiring. This energy can run through any of your unprotected electrical outlets and potentially damage devices connected to them. A whole-house unit protects against surges that originate from inside and outside your home. According to the National Electrical Manufacturers Association, internal surges account for 60% to 80% of surges that occur in residential properties. However, a surge protector can shield your home against surges caused by blackouts, downed power lines, damaged wiring, large appliances cycling on and off, utility grid transfers, and more.
