Where surges come from
Lightning gets the blame, but most surges are smaller and far more frequent. They occur when utility power is restored after an outage, when grid equipment switches and when large motors in your own home cycle on and off. Each one wears a little at electronics. Thunderstorms, ice and wind make outages and restorations a regular event across Michigan, which is why panel-mounted protection is worth having in Imlay City.
