Surge Protection

My house got struck by lightning. Some items in my house won’t work.

• First off, if there is a bad storm, it is always a good idea to unplug all electronics. An example of these electronic appliances would be: Cordless Phones, Answering Machines, Computers, TV/ Entertainment Center, etc. Even if the appliance is turned off, a surge of power during a lightening storm can destroy an appliance.
• If you don’t do this and find that any of your appliances don’t work, it is probably related to a surge of power and you will need to replace the unit. Usually, the unit would not be able to be repaired.
• We highly recommend Whole House Surge Protectors. We also recommend secondary surge protector strips for computers, etc. See the Surge Protector page for more Info.
