Frequently Asked Questions About Surge Protection in Santa Clara, CA

At NRG Electric, we know that power surges can cause serious damage to electronics, appliances, and electrical systems. Below, we’ve answered some of the most common questions about whole-house surge protection, power strips, lifespan, energy efficiency, lightning protection, and specialized equipment.

Whole-House Surge Protection vs. Power Strips

Is a whole-house surge protector really necessary if I use power strips?

A: Yes. Power strips with surge protection provide limited defense against small voltage spikes, but they can’t protect against high-energy surges caused by lightning, utility grid fluctuations, or major electrical faults.

A whole-house surge protection system:

  • Stops large surges before they enter your home's electrical system.
  • Protects hardwired appliances like HVAC systems, refrigerators, and water heaters that power strips can’t cover.
  • Acts as the first line of defense, with power strips serving as an additional layer of protection.

For complete surge protection, we recommend a layered approach that includes whole-home protection at the electrical panel and individual device surge protectors where needed.

Lifespan of Surge Protectors

How long do surge protectors last?

A: Most high-quality surge protectors last between 3 to 5 years, but their lifespan depends on multiple factors:

  • The number of surge events they absorb – Frequent surges shorten their life.
  • The quality of the surge protector – Higher-end models last longer.
  • Proper maintenance – Routine testing and monitoring help identify when a replacement is needed.

We recommend regular checks and replacements every few years, especially if your area experiences frequent power fluctuations or storm activity.

Energy Efficiency & Cost Savings

Can surge protectors save energy?

A: Some modern surge protectors come with energy-saving features that help reduce standby power consumption, also known as "phantom load".

These surge protectors:

  • Shut off power to devices that aren’t in use.
  • Include timers or smart technology to regulate power flow.
  • Help lower your energy bills by reducing wasted electricity.

While standard surge protectors don’t directly save energy, investing in advanced models with energy-efficient functions can help optimize power usage and cost savings.

Protection Against Lightning Strikes

Will a surge protector protect against lightning strikes?

A: While no surge protection system can provide 100% guaranteed protection against a direct lightning strike, a professionally installed whole-home surge protection system can greatly reduce the risk of severe electrical damage.

Our surge protection solutions:

  • Absorb and redirect excess voltage from nearby lightning strikes.
  • Minimize the impact on your home’s electrical system.
  • Work in combination with grounding and lightning rod systems for enhanced safety.

For areas with frequent storms, we recommend a layered defense strategy, including:

  • Whole-house surge protection installed at the electrical panel.
  • Point-of-use surge protectors for sensitive electronics.
  • Proper grounding and bonding to disperse excess electrical energy safely.

Specialized Surge Protection for Home Office Equipment

Do I need special surge protection for my home office equipment?

A: Yes, computers, networking equipment, and other home office electronics are especially vulnerable to power surges.

For optimal protection, we recommend:

  • Dedicated surge protectors with battery backup (UPS systems) to prevent data loss.
  • Point-of-use surge protectors for modems, routers, and workstations.
  • Whole-home surge protection to ensure uninterrupted power to all connected devices.

A small investment in surge protection can save hundreds or even thousands of dollars in damaged hardware and lost data.
