How A Power Surge Happens in the Winter
A power surge is just as it sounds: a sudden surge of electrical power. This usually happens in three ways: when the flow of electricity is interrupted, when an increased delivery of power is interrupted when electricity is sent flowing back into the system, or when excess voltage is sent through the power system.
During the wintertime, a power surge can happen due to a variety of reasons:
The Costs of a Power Surge
A sudden spike in voltage can overheat wires, potentially causing an electrical fire. Even smaller power surges can be costly as they can fry your electrical devices, equipment, and appliances. As you can imagine, the cost of repairing or replacing those computers, smart phones, or appliances can easily run in the thousands of dollars. It should come as no surprise that the average insurance claim for power surge and related damage is over $4,000. Of course, there is also the inconvenience of having to go without those electronics until repaired or replaced.
The Cost of Power Surge Protection
There are many different types of surge protection including whole-house surge protection as well as point-of-use protection. A combination of these two can provide a great safeguard against a power surge. The price of the installations will vary, but it will pale in comparison to how much damage a power surge can cause. When you consider the potential damage to your electronic devices and appliances, the price of a power surge protection installation is a drop in the bucket.
