While surge protectors are generally low-maintenance devices, they do have a limited lifespan and may require occasional checks. We recommend having your surge protection system inspected annually to ensure it’s functioning correctly. Some signs that your surge protector might need replacement include visible damage, an extinguished indicator light, or if it’s more than 3-5 years old. Regular maintenance can help ensure your home remains protected against power surges.

While surge protectors are excellent at safeguarding against most power surges and spikes, they’re not a cure-all for every electrical issue. They primarily protect against transient voltage spikes, which are brief increases in voltage. However, they may not protect against sustained overvoltage conditions, brownouts, or complete power outages. For comprehensive protection, we recommend combining surge protection with other electrical safety measures like proper grounding, GFCI outlets, and potentially a whole-house generator for backup power.
