This morning, Milton Keynes, was enveloped by an intense thunderstorm with crackling thunder and striking lightning. Such dramatic weather draws our attention to the power of nature and the vulnerability of our homes to electrical surges. At Argyle Electrical Services, we specialise in safeguarding your home against these unpredictable events through professional surge protection installations. However, while many associate surge damage primarily with such fierce storms, it’s crucial to realise that lesser-known threats lie much closer to home, within our electrical systems.
Electrical surges are sudden and unexpected spikes in voltage that can occur in any electrical system, and the drama of lightning does not always cause them. A surge can last for just a few microseconds. Still, the damage it imparts can be devastating, from losing your expensive appliances and electronic equipment to a severe risk to your home’s safety.
During Today’s storm, homes in Milton Keynes with surge protection installed by Argyle Electrical Services experienced the benefits firsthand. These systems effectively managed the excess electricity caused by the atmospheric conditions, preventing damage to connected devices and infrastructure. This incident beautifully underscores the critical importance of having a robust surge protection system – not just as a safeguard against natural phenomena but as an everyday protective measure.
It might be surprising, but many surges occur not from the dramatic flair of lightning but from the everyday operation of household appliances. Devices like air conditioners, refrigerators, and even high-powered vacuum cleaners can create significant surges as they switch on and off. If unchecked, these surges can gradually degrade the performance of sensitive electronic equipment or, in the worst cases, cause immediate damage.
The stakes are even higher for electric vehicle (EV) owners. EV charging systems are particularly susceptible to surge damage, which can not only lead to costly repairs but also pose safety risks. Considering the increasing adoption of electric vehicles, understanding and protecting against these internal surges is becoming more critical.
