Surge Into the Fall with Protection!

Surge Into the Fall With Protection!


Fall is here, and now is the time to make sure the expensive electronic devices and appliances throughout your home are protected from power surges. 

Did you know that most plug-in surge protectors actually offer little to no help in the case of electricity fluctuations? It’s true. Whole-home surge protection is the best way to ensure your equipment is fully safeguarded. 


Our Valencia, PA, surge protection services will prevent power surges from damaging or destroying your laptops, computers, and other valuable appliances. 



What Is a Power Surge?

Power surges don’t happen every day, but they can cause thousands of dollars of damage. A power surge is simply a spike in the amount of electrical current in your home. 


Surges can be caused when lightning strikes a power line, but lightning-related surges are rare. Switching on a high-powered device or appliance could also cause a surge. 


Most power surges are caused by downed power lines or sudden changes in electricity use within your energy grid. You may not even notice a surge when it happens, but it can cause minor damage to appliances — damage that eventually causes those appliances to stop working.


Who Needs Valencia, PA, Surge Protection Services?

Every home can benefit from surge protection. Individual circuits keep your most vulnerable electronic devices and appliances safe, while a whole-house surge suppressor protects against dangerous power spikes. 


Individual and whole-house protectors work together to ensure your equipment is safe no matter what Mother Nature or the power company throws your way. 


The technicians at Hogue Electric Services will evaluate your home to help you choose the purge protection services that are best suited for your needs. 


Whole-home systems are designed to detect power surges immediately and stop the damage that can be caused by quickly changing levels of electricity. Our whole-home devices will also sound an alarm so you know a surge has been detected.
