Surge Protection

Storm season is one of the few challenges of living in beautiful Florida. Lightening can cause some uneasy moments for us, as we hope that we are lucky enough to not lose a TV, A/C unit, or other household appliances during a storm.

Although nothing provides 100% protection against lightning strikes, we can take some precautions to protect our homes. Most home owners know about the point of use plug strips for TV’s, but are you knowledgeable about “JOULE” ratings of these devices? Most consumers do not. The simple answer is that a joule measures energy absorption. The higher rating in joules a device measures, the better the device is thought to be. With regards to surge protection, when the Joules rating are high, the surge protector is capable of handling a larger surge in a single event before it needs replacing.
