Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Why is SurgeGuard® more powerful than the surge strip I already have?
A. SurgeGuard® is designed to handle surges up to 100 times greater than those handled by most outlet protectors. You can still use your surge strips as back-up protection.

Q. What’s the advantage of having a surge protector for the whole house?
A. Today’s electronic equipment, TVs, computers, washers, electric ranges, heating and cooling equipment, microwave ovens, and even toaster ovens are made with increasingly sophisticated electronics. Even a minor surge can cause major damage. SurgeGuard’s whole house protection safeguards all of your electronics and appliances at once.

Q. What causes power surges?
A. Power surges are sudden increases in voltage. They can be caused by thunderstorms, high winds, downed utility poles, and power line interference due to squirrels, birds, trees, balloons, and car accidents.

Q. Do power surges occur year round or only at certain times?
A. Surges are mostly weather and accident related and occur at unpredictable times throughout the year.

Q. Isn’t a circuit breaker designed to protect electronic equipment and appliances?
A. No. A common circuit breaker’s reaction time is simply not quick enough to stop a power surge from entering your home. SurgeGuard® activates within nanoseconds in order to ground a surge.

Q. If I have SurgeGuard®, should I cancel any service contracts I currently have?
A. No. Most service contracts do not cover surge damage. While SurgeGuard® does not protect against normal mechanical failures, the two complement each other and both should be considered for total protection.
