Let’s start by correcting a common misconception. A surge protector is not the power strip that you plug into an outlet. For the sake of keeping things clear for the rest of this blog post, we’ll refer to this device as simply a power strip because, well, that’s what it is!
A surge protector, on the other hand, while some versions of it can be plugged into an outlet, is actually installed within your electrical panel. This can be an investment that offers incredible protection for your electrical appliances and your electrical system at large.
Here’s what you should know about surge protectors and if one is worth your money. (Here’s a hint: it absolutely is!)

Be on the lookout for these warning signs so that you know when to have your electrical panel in Ashland upgraded.

No one enjoys being caught off-guard when the power goes out. Even in modern times though it is possible. We rely on our homes to keep us safe, even when the weather is bad so when things suddenly give out it is a harsh reminder that Mother Nature can sometimes take things into her own hands.
You don’t have to be caught off guard though. Mother Nature might take out the power for the neighborhood and shut off the lights, but modern technology has a comeback for her: generators. Installing a whole-house generator is going to help your home be prepared no matter what nature throws your way.
