Surge Protection

Get a HomeGuard Defender System and rest a little easier in knowing that you have done all that you can to protect yourself and your home. You can kick back and relax the next time a dark cloud looms on the horizon.

Approximately 35% of all surges are caused by 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. Surges can also be caused right inside the home by a refrigerator; HVAC 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.

The Facts about Surges

• There are many causes of surges, inside and outside the home.
• Surges can enter the home through power cords, telephone lines, and cable, satellite and antenna lines.
