An electrical surge can fry every single one of your electrical appliances in your home. Anything plugged into an outlet is at risk of damage from electrical surges.
Electrical power surges can occur most commonly from lightening. However, power surges can also occur when the electricity flow is interrupted for some reason and then begins to flow again.

We can provide the following surge protection services and products:
- AFCI’s (Arc fault circuit interrupters) – These devices detect electrical leakages within a circuit and will shut the circuit down immediately to help avoid damage or electrical fires.
- GFCI’s (Ground fault circuit interrupters) – These devices detect imbalances in the electrical current and will shut down at the slightest indication of an imbalance. This protects you from electrical shock. You will often find GFCI’s in bathrooms and kitchens where smaller appliances are used frequently.
