The first smart home upgrade you made to your Whitefish Bay home was smart lighting. Then, it was the security system and smart locks. After that? A smart oven that made cooking after work so much easier.
Life is just better when you’re living in a smart home. It’s made your family’s lives easier, and you’re already planning to switch out your old-school regular smoke detectors for smart models.
However, you do worry about a power outage or lightning strike. As you add more smart technology to your home, you want to keep it protected, leaving you wondering if you need whole home surge protection for these smart devices.
What Causes an Electrical Surge?
While lighting strikes or power outages may be your go-to thought for an electrical surge, there are many unforeseen or uncontrollable events that can trigger them, such as:
- Faulty Wiring
- Electrical Overload/Overloaded Circuits
- Sudden Power Restoration
- Downed Power Lines
- Tripped Breakers
When it comes to electrical safety, it’s better to be over-prepared than under-prepared. Power surges are something you can’t schedule, so it’s important to have a proactive approach to safeguarding your home’s electrical systems.
Surge Protection Defends Your Whole Home
We can’t overstate how important surge protection is to protect the investments inside your home. Not only does whole-home surge protection protect against power surges, but it also maintains a steady, clean flow of power to your appliances during small power fluctuations.
They may not seem like a big deal, but power fluctuations and dirty power shorten the life of your appliances. And not having ready-to-drink coffee in the morning isn’t on your bucket list.
Fried electronics can also result in lost data. All of the files and passwords you have stored on your computer could be gone in an instant, along with the security camera footage of your two children getting along. You don’t want to lose the proof that they can be nice to each other forever.
Your smart home upgrades are often integrated into your home’s electrical panel and cannot be protected by something small like a power strip. Whole-home surge protection is the best way to keep your home smart and life simple.
