What Can Cause Power Surges in Your Kansas City, KS Home?
Surge protection has gone from a nice-to-have to a near-essential part of a modern home, guarding the electronics you rely on every day from sudden voltage spikes. So what actually triggers a power surge in the first place?
Normal Usage
Perhaps the most common causes of home electrical surges stem from regular usage of household electrical appliances. Cycling electrical units such as washing machines and refrigerators can cause harmful voltage spikes.
Lightning Strikes
Lightning strikes can do serious damage to your home electrical system, even if the lightning strike doesn’t occur particularly close to your home. Lightning does not need to directly strike your home for a power surge to cause severe damage to electrical units in your home such as your HVAC unit.
Power Line Surge
Power line surges are common when your utility service provider is experiencing service outages. As we all know, it is common to experience service outages during times of nasty weather when fallen trees or vehicle crashes can disrupt power lines.
Internal Electrical System Issues
There are also many internal issues that could cause power surges in your Kansas City, KS home. For example, faulty wiring, which is more common in older homes, can lead to power surges that can damage electrical appliances. Short circuits and tripping of circuit breakers can also lead to power surges damaging your Kansas City, KS home electrical appliances.

FAQ
Common Questions About Whole Home Surge Protectors
What do you do when a surge protector stops working?
Do whole-house surge protectors need to be replaced?
Yes, whole-house surge protectors do occasionally need to be replaced. You should replace them every few years or when they stop working. If you think you may need a replacement, call KB Complete today to schedule a time for a professionally certified electrician to inspect your whole-house surge protector.
What if I have more than one panel?
If you have more than one panel you may or may not need two surge protectors depending on how your panels are fed from the meter. You will need to have a professional electrician from KB Complete to assess whether or not you will need an additional whole-home surge protector.
How big is a surge protector?
Surge protectors are not very large additions at all and provide a very important extra layer of security. The main panel surge protector is only about the size of two decks of cards.
What is cable surge protection and how does it work?
Cable surge protection works in the same way as a typical whole-home surge protector, but instead is installed inside your cable box which is typically on the outside of your house. Cable boxes and/or internet routers contain a lot of electricity that lightning is strongly drawn to. If you have a cable television or internet service, you should absolutely have a cable surge protector because if lightning hits your cable box, it will travel through any other device connected to it and destroy it. If you’re thinking about adding surge protection to your cable box, but aren’t sure whether or not to install it, have a KB Complete electrical expert consult with you and provide you with more information.
Can surge protectors be repaired?
Yes, home surge protectors can be repaired! Since they protect your home’s most important appliances, any repair needs to be done with care by a professional electrician. KB Complete has professionally licensed technicians that can repair your home surge protector if you call today!
