What is Surge Protector?

A surge protector is a device that protects sensitive electronics and equipment from harmful voltage spikes and power surges. It absorbs excess energy as the sponge absorbs water. Unlike power taps that provide extension of power or additional outlets, it does not protect against power spikes or surges.

What is Power Surge?

Power surge is a short-term voltage (or voltage spike) increase due to lightnings and abnormal line conditions when power companies switch between grids. It is important to replace your surge protectors regularly (we recommend every 3 to 4 years in most instances).

Why Surge Protection is Important

In an average household there are 350 power surges per year. Over voltage, dropped voltage, power surge, and voltage spikes can occur on average, 5 times a day. Small and frequent power surges can cause cumulative damage and shorten product life. Power surges are the biggest cause of data loss. More than 50% of device failure is due to power surge/failure. Proper surge protection saves valuable electronics and extends the life of computers, phones, laptops, tablets, smartphones, TVs and sound systems. Choosing a surge protector will protect all your valuable electronics. Many are backed by Connected Equipment Warranties.

What is a connection equipment warranty?

Connection equipment warranty covers equipment damaged by transient voltage while properly connected to a properly wired AC power line with protective grounding via surge protector. The brand that provides CEW will repair or replace equipment damaged by power surges, spikes and lightning strikes with the correct connection to the surge protector for the price.
