Did you know that when your air conditioning system, washer/dryer, or any other large household appliance turns on, it can create a surge of electricity that could potentially damage or degrade other electronic equipment in your home? While a surge powerful enough to damage equipment is uncommon, there’s a way you can protect yourself and your household electronics!

With a whole-home surge protector installed by E.T. Lawson, you’ll be at an advantage when it comes to controlling power surges caused by…

• Lightning strikes
• Tripped circuit breakers
• Short circuits
• And more!

Not sure if a surge protector in your home is necessary? Here are a few things to consider!

• Most modern households today have more electronic gadgets and electrical equipment than ever before. Home appliances utilize circuit boards that need to be protected from surges, and new LED bulbs contain micro circuit boards that are sensitive and can easily be compromised by an electrical surge
  
  
• Power surges can cause power outages in your home, leaving you and your family in the dark. Not only does this make it difficult to navigate safely around your home, but any electronic appliances won’t work – including the fridge and freezer, which can result in food spoilage.
  
  
• Because surge protectors keep your equipment from being damage or destroyed by electrical surges, you’ll save yourself from having to repair or replace those expensive electronics. Big screen TVs, expensive computer equipment, and stereo systems are an investment that should be protected!
