This is one of the most common misconceptions we hear from homeowners: "I have power strips, so I'm protected."
Unfortunately, most standard power strips provide zero protection against lightning-induced power surges — which are incredibly common in South Florida. A single surge can destroy your TV, fridge, computer, or worse.
What you actually need:
✅ Whole-home surge protector (installed at your main panel)
✅ Point-of-use surge protectors rated at 1,000+ joules for sensitive electronics
Think of a whole-home surge protector as your home's first line of defense. We install them in a couple of hours and they can save you thousands in appliance replacement costs.
