Surge Protectors

Most people wait until they need something to purchase it. In the case of surge protection however, if you wait until you need it - it's already too late.

What is a Surge Protector?

Think of the electricity in your home as a stable flat line that flows through your home at 120 volts. Multiple times in a single day the electricity in your home surges. It is not uncommon for the electricity in your home to spike up to 600 volts.

Why is it a problem?

Electronics in your home cannot adapt to higher voltages. This shortens or ends the life of your electronics.You might be surprised how many electronics in your home can be affected! Items include television, dvd player, hairdryer, coffee pot, toaster, freezer, AC, and cell phone.

Don't wait until it's too late!
