What is a Power Surge?
Power Surges occur when there are sudden powerful increases in the electrical system routinely ranging from 100 to 6,000 volts. There are many causes of surges including lightning, trees, birds or other animals interfering with power lines, auto accidents involving utility poles and the turning on and off of large industrial pumps and motors. These causes account for approximately 35% of all surges.

Surges can also be caused right inside the home by a refrigerator, HVAC system and well pump motors switching on and off and many other factors that can result in momentary surges. These causes account for approximately 65% of all surges.

Regardless of the cause, power surges can occur on AC power lines, cable, and telephone or data lines. Power surges are a common, everyday occurrence, and not a one time “event”. Surge damage can happen all at once or slowly, over time.
