A surge protector is a device designed to protect electrical devices from voltage spikes. It works by diverting excess voltage to the ground wire, preventing it from reaching and potentially damaging your electronics. At Southern Electrical, we install high-quality surge protectors that can handle various levels of electrical surges, from minor fluctuations to major spikes caused by lightning strikes.

The lifespan of a surge protector can vary depending on its quality and the number of surges it has absorbed. Generally, we recommend replacing your surge protectors every 2-3 years for optimal protection. However, if you live in an area prone to frequent electrical storms or power fluctuations, you might need to replace them more often. At Southern Electrical, we offer surge protectors with indicator lights that show when they need replacement. During our regular maintenance visits, we can assess the condition of your surge protectors and advise if replacement is necessary. Contact Us to schedule a check-up of your surge protection system.
