In the modern home, almost everything we rely on is powered by sophisticated electronics. From your smart refrigerator and HVAC system to your computer and entertainment center, thousands of dollars’ worth of equipment is plugged into your walls right now.
At Bluffs Electric, we know that many homeowners believe a simple power strip is enough. Unfortunately, when a major power spike hits Council Bluffs—whether from a summer thunderstorm or utility grid switching—power strips can easily be overwhelmed. That is why we recommend a proactive defense: Whole-House Surge Protection.
More Than Just Lightning Strikes
While a direct lightning strike is the most dramatic example of a power surge, it isn’t the most common. In fact, up to 80% of power surges originate inside the home. These “internal” surges happen when large appliances like air conditioners or dryers cycle on and off, sending small spikes through your wiring. Over time, these mini-surges degrade the delicate circuit boards in your expensive appliances, shortening their lifespan.
