A power surge is a brief, powerful blast of electricity caused by a change in power. Sometimes referred to
A power surge can be caused by lightning. And in the United States, lightning will strike more than 60 times a year in any given neighborhood. A nearby strike can produce a power surge that can travel in the ground for
miles. So when thunderstorms roll into your area, power surges may not be far behind them.
But lightning is not the only culprit. Powers surges can also be caused by something as innocent as a
coffee pot cycling on. Air conditioners, motors, even generators in your neighborhood as well as squirrels running across power lines can produce surges that can damage or destroy your home electronics...Now, you can be protected from these type of power surges by having surge protection installed in your home.
What's At Risk!
TVs. VCRs. Telephones. Sound systems and DVD players... For these, and every other electronic product in your home, a power surge can be a natural enemy. For your computer,
a power surge is a predator, capable of destroying sensitive electronics in less than one second. That's why insurance companies, electrical engineers and safety consultants recommend surge protection for your home.
While a direct lightning strike poses considerable danger to your home electronics, lightning doesn't have to strike close by to be damaging. Only a lightning strike about ¼ mile from your front door can send power surges into your walls and outlets threatening the life of your electronics. But with surge protection in your home,
99% of all power surges can be rendered harmless.
Appliances aren't safe either. Most homes have 30 or more motor driven appliances, like a microwave oven, a refrigerator, or a washer and dryer. While these appliances may seem like they are operating fine, over time, repeated surges can wear them down reducing their lifespan until they stop dead. But with the surge protection system, motors can last longer, protecting your investment and your valuable household electronics and appliances.

Maybe. But what about your T.V. or your computer? Unless your home is protected with a DITEK Stormshield 2000 system, a power surge could burn up your big screen, destroy your DVD player and hard drive in the blink of an eye.
