Marietta Surge Protection

Avoid Damage to Your Electronic Devices & Appliances From Electrical Surges

In the event of a storm, a direct lightning strike to your home delivers a high-voltage surge that travels through your electrical wiring. These surges are quite dangerous and can end up destroying any electronic devices you have plugged in, such as televisions, home stereo systems, computers, and kitchen appliances. What’s worse is that many homeowners’ insurance policies don’t cover damage caused by lightning strikes. An additional cause of power surges is when power lines go down and are repaired. Don’t wait until a disaster! You can protect your home and electronic devices by installing whole-home surge protection with the expert electricians from Lightning Bug Electric.

Signs a Surge Protector is Failing & Needs Replacing

A surge protector is a crucial device that shields your electronics from power surges and voltage spikes. However, like any other electrical component, surge protectors can wear out over time, losing their ability to offer adequate protection. Recognizing the signs of a failing surge protector is essential to keeping your valuable devices safe from sudden surges that can cause permanent damage. If you're in Marietta and suspect your surge protector is no longer working properly, Lightning Bug Electric is here to help. 

Some common signs that your surge protector may be failing include:

• Frequent tripping: If your surge protector trips often, it could indicate that it's struggling to manage voltage spikes.
• Visible wear or damage: Look for burn marks, melted parts, or frayed cords, which are clear signs of physical damage.
• No indicator light: Most surge protectors have an indicator light that shows they are working. If the light goes off, it’s likely no longer providing protection.
• Unusual noises or smells: Any buzzing sounds or the smell of burning plastic could indicate internal damage.
• Devices are malfunctioning: If the electronics connected to your surge protector start to malfunction, it might not be providing the protection they need.

Ignoring these warning signs can lead to costly damage to your appliances and electronics. If you notice any of these issues, it may be time to replace your surge protector.
