Surge Protection Plans FAQs

Show all answers

Electrical surges are sudden, brief rises in voltage and/or current to a connected load. They may originate inside or outside any home or business. Standard household equipment operating at 120 volts can be damaged by surges of 500 volts or greater.

Generally, indoor surges are caused by major equipment, such as your air conditioner or refrigerator, switching on or off. Outdoor surges can be caused by incidents involving electric lines, neighbors using heavy power equipment or power equipment failures. Lightning most often causes them during seasonal electrical storms.
