Storm season in Texas can come with serious power surges—and without proper protection, your home’s electrical systems and devices could be at risk. At Wired, we believe in staying one step ahead of the storm. Here are four essential tips to help keep your home and your electronics safe when severe weather rolls in:
1. Invest in a Whole Home Surge Protector
A whole-home surge protector is your first line of defense. Installed at your main electrical panel, it helps stop high-voltage spikes from reaching your appliances and sensitive electronics. Think of it like a security guard for your entire home’s electrical system.
2. Use High-Quality Power Strips with Surge Protection
Not all power strips are created equal! Choose surge-protected strips for your computers, TVs, and gaming consoles. Look for models with built-in circuit breakers and a high joule rating for maximum safety.
3. Unplug During Major Storms
When in doubt, unplug. During intense lightning storms, physically unplugging your devices can eliminate the risk of surge damage. It’s a simple habit that can save you thousands in equipment replacements.
4. Schedule a Professional Electrical Inspection
Protect What Powers Your Life
Don’t wait for the next thunderstorm to take action. From surge protection to generator installs, Wired is here to help keep your power on and your home safe—rain or shine.
