what is a surge protector
When the words ‘surge protector’ is used, it is normal for someone to envision a power strip that is almost maxed out on devices that are plugged into it. However, these strips can only offer a limited amount of protection, and normally they have to be replaced after a single surge. How they work is they pass electrical current from the outlet to the devices that are plugged into the strip. If there is a spike that is above the level designated, the ‘extra’ electricity is redirected automatically into MOVs (Metal Oxide Varistors).
whole house surge protection
A whole-house surge protector functions about the same way as a power strip. However, they are designed to withstand more power surges, and over a larger time frame. They are wired to the electrical panel, protecting all the household appliances and devices that receive power from it. Make the smart choice and invest in whole house surge protection. You are securing the safety of sensitive electronic devices and expensive appliances against power surge damage.
