How Power Surges Can Damage Your Appliances (and What to Do About It)
Power surges aren’t just a risk during thunderstorms. Everyday activities like turning on a high-powered appliance or a city grid issue can send a surge through your home — and into your appliances.
What Appliances Are Most at Risk?
• Refrigerators
• Microwaves
• Washers and dryers
• Ovens and ranges
What Can Go Wrong?
• Blown control boards
• Fried circuit breakers
• Dead displays or non-responsive buttons
How to Protect Your Appliances:
• Use surge protectors for small appliances
• Install a whole-home surge protector (an electrician can help)
• Unplug during big storms if possible
