Surge Protection
Electricity is arguably the most valuable resource we have in our modern society. Without electricity, most of the things we do and rely on on a daily basis wouldn’t be there.
High Voltage Can Damage Wiring
If the voltage of the wire is too great—meaning the difference in electric potential energy from one end to the other is too high—then the electricity will surge through. This heats up the wire; if it gets hot enough, it can burn the wire and render it useless.
The surge protector has one job: to detect excess voltage and divert the extra electricity into the grounding wire.
This is why all surge protectors will have a grounding pin (the third prong on a plug), and all surge protectors must be plugged into a properly grounded outlet for them to work as intended.
Common Causes of Electrical Surges
So, what causes an electrical surge? Most people think that the biggest culprit of electrical surges is lightning, but that’s not wholly true.
Lightning can and does cause electrical surges, but it’s not as common as other causes. In fact, buying a surge protector to save your electronics from a thunderstorm may not work in your favor.
Are Surge Protectors Necessary?
Given how surges can happen at any time, you don’t need to worry about when to use a protector; just use it all the time. The real question is what you should plug into a surge protector.
Protect Your Valuable Electronics
You don’t need a surge protector for your desk lamp or your standing fan, but you do want a surge protector for expensive devices that have intricate microprocessors, like computers, televisions, stereo systems, and media centers. In short, anything electronic and expensive benefits from a surge protector.
Outdoor and Motion Lighting
Electricity is arguably the most valuable resource we have in our modern society. Without electricity, most of the things we do and rely on on a daily basis wouldn’t be there.

Stay Cool and Comfortable With Efficient Ceiling Fans
A ceiling fan is a mechanical fan mounted on the ceiling of a room or space, usually electrically powered, that uses hub-mounted rotating blades to circulate air. They cool people effectively by increasing air speed. Fans do not reduce air temperature or relative humidity, unlike air-conditioning equipment, but create a cooling effect by helping to evaporate sweat and increase heat exchange via convection.
Fans may add a small amount of heat to the room due to friction and waste heat from the motor.
Fans use significantly less power than air conditioning, as cooling air is thermodynamically expensive.
In the winter, a ceiling fan can also be used to bring warm air, which naturally rises, back down to occupants.
This can affect both thermostat readings and occupants’ comfort, thereby improving climate control energy efficiency.
