Overview
In Southwest Florida, storm season poses many threats to homeowners, including costly damage due to power surges. A power surge can be caused by a lightning strike impacting nearby power equipment, accidents, trees and animals that interfere with power lines.

What most people don’t know is that about 60 percent of surges occur inside the home from microwave ovens or air conditioning motors—even turning your lights off and on.

What is a Surge?
A power surge, or Transient Voltage Surge (TVS), is a short duration (50-500 milliseconds) voltage spike of 100 to 6,000 volts above normal, that enters your home through your electrical system. The sensitive microprocessors in your sensitive electronics can be damaged by the long-term affects of small power surges.
