Spring is here and that means those wild and loud thunderstorms are here as well. Lightning can be nice to look at, but as we all know, it can be dangerous. While you are probably safe in your home during a lightning storm, your appliances and electronics are not. One lightning strike can wipe out anything that is currently plugged in, in your home.

If you are not interested in spending thousands of dollars replacing computers, televisions and any other appliance in your home, you will probably want to invest in a whole house surge protector. An electrician in Los Angeles is exactly what you need to save you a great deal of money in replacement costs.

Surge Protectors

You probably have your computer plugged into one of those strips that offers a layer of protection against an electrical surge. But what about your expensive gaming console, refrigerator and television. With just those three items, you are taking well over a $1000. It isn’t feasible or attractive to plug in every electronic device to a surge protector strip.

However, whole home surge protectors are available. And what is even better is the fact they are a fraction of the amount of the cost it would take you to replace your electronics. They are fairly simple to install by an electrician. Los Angeles residents who are interested in protecting their electronic investments can call the Electric Connection to discuss their surge protection options.

It is important to note that not all electrical surges come from lightning strikes. Large appliances like the refrigerator or air conditioning unit cycling off and on can also cause spikes in power, especially if they are not in good working condition. You never know when a surge will strike. It is better to be safe than sorry.
