What is Surge Protection & How Does It Work?

Surge protection is vital for safeguarding modern homes and businesses against sudden voltage spikes that can damage sensitive electronic devices. Surge protection devices (SPDs) are crucial in preventing potential harm to appliances, equipment, and electronics.

Surges can arise from various sources, including lightning strikes, power grid fluctuations, or internal electrical issues, posing a significant risk to electronics by surpassing their voltage tolerance levels.

Surge protection devices are designed to divert excess voltage away from sensitive equipment and electrical systems. The most common type of surge protection device is the surge protector power strip, typically used for small electronics and appliances.

For larger systems, such as those installed by electricians like Colonial Electric, more comprehensive surge protection methods are employed. These methods often involve installing whole-house surge protectors at the electrical panel or point of entry for electrical service.

Scott is super responsive and professional, did great work quickly at a fair price. Highly recommend.

I wanted to add in the EXCEPTIONAL customer service that Scott provided in the middle of a Nor’easter to make sure my generator was up and running smoothly. Response was immediate and he weathered the storm (literally) to make sure we had power. Best in class.

    The service from Colonial Electric was outstanding! I called to have them come out to look at everything and they were there within a week and scheduled the work for a few days later. Scott walked me through the different options and what each one would cost and explained the difference between the work that he would do for each option. Once everything was done he showed me all of the work and made sure everything was working before leaving. I will definitely call them again if I ever need any electrical work done

FAQs

(781) 287-8729
Is surge protection necessary?

Yes, surge protection is necessary to safeguard electronic devices and electrical systems from potentially damaging voltage spikes or surges. Surges can occur due to various factors such as lightning strikes, power grid fluctuations, or internal electrical issues.

Without surge protection, these surges can exceed the voltage tolerance levels of appliances and electronics, leading to irreparable damage. Surge protection devices (SPDs) act as barriers, diverting excess voltage away from sensitive equipment and ensuring the safety and longevity of electrical systems.

What devices should be surge protected?

Ideally, any electronic device or appliance that is susceptible to damage from voltage surges should be surge protected. This includes but is not limited to computers, laptops, TVs, gaming consoles, audio equipment, networking devices, printers, and home entertainment systems.

Additionally, sensitive equipment such as medical devices, security systems, and smart home devices can benefit from surge protection to prevent malfunctions or data loss.

Do refrigerators need a surge protector?

While refrigerators are not as sensitive to voltage fluctuations as electronic devices like computers or TVs, they can still benefit from surge protection. Refrigerators contain sensitive electronic components such as control boards and compressors that can be damaged by power surges.

Since refrigerators are essential household appliances, protecting them with a surge protector can prevent costly repairs or replacement due to surge-related damage.

What happens if you don’t use a surge protector?

Without using a surge protector, electronic devices and appliances are vulnerable to the adverse effects of voltage spikes.

When a surge occurs, it can overwhelm the electrical system and exceed the device’s voltage tolerance levels. This can lead to immediate damage, rendering the device inoperable, or it can cause gradual degradation over time, shortening the lifespan of the equipment.

In severe cases, a power surge can even pose safety hazards such as electrical fires. Therefore, not using a surge protector increases the risk of financial loss, inconvenience, and potential safety hazards associated with damaged electronics and electrical systems.
