Power strips are convenient, so it is easy to assume they all protect against surges. In reality, many basic strips simply give you more places to plug in. They do not include the internal components needed to absorb sudden voltage spikes.
True surge protectors are rated to handle surges and should be part of a broader protection strategy that includes proper grounding, wiring, and panel equipment. That approach helps protect sensitive electronics like computers, TVs, and smart devices.
Thomas Edison Electric can review your panel, wiring, and surge protection options so your home or business is better prepared for power disturbances. Our licensed electricians help clients choose practical, code-compliant solutions.
