By: maria marshall
"ServicePlus – Total Home Warranty Service. Power surges are a very common cause of electrical-related device damage. If there's a power surge, any connected device is at risk of damage regardless of how big or small it is. It's always advisable to take a professional electrical service to implement a measure that protects the home appliances from power surges.
What is a power surge?
A power surge is an unexpected and temporary increase in the current or voltage of an electrical circuit that damages connected sensitive devices. When a device stops using power suddenly, there will be an increase in voltage which may be directed to another appliance and cause severe damage.
How to prevent power surges?
Flickering lights are an indication of power surges and in that case, you can cut off the outlets to protect your appliances from damage. However, this doesn't fully protect your appliances. Why? The reason is simple- the damage may not happen because of one strong surge, instead, the damage can happen because of multiple minor surges.

To avoid power surges, you should not only take reactive measures, but you should also take help from a professional electrical design service.
Install a whole-house surge protector:

If there's a sudden surge, the protector immediately shuts off the power and redirects the excess current to the underground wire.
Have additional protection from specific devices:
Even with a whole-house protector, it's important to have added protection for delicate devices like refrigerators, computers, etc. Here are the type of protection that you can have-
Have surge stations for cable lines and phones
Use UPS to protect computers
Install power strips."(read
