    How to Protect Your Florida Home Electronics from Lightning Strikes

    Florida leads the nation in lightning strikes, and your home electronics are vulnerable. Here is how to protect them.

    Layered Surge Protection

    The best approach combines whole-home surge protection at your panel with point-of-use surge protectors for sensitive devices.

    What to Unplug During Storms

    During severe storms, unplug computers, TVs, and other sensitive electronics. No surge protector can guarantee protection against a direct lightning strike.

    Whole-Home Surge Protection

    A whole-home surge protector installs at your panel and diverts excess voltage away from your home before it reaches your devices.
