And surge protectors give you that peace of mind for a very low price\u2014but only if you replace them every few years. While the old surge protectors in your home may seem to function normally, they likely offer zero protection for your electronics.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_Surge_Protectors_Work\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_0\">How Do Surge Protectors Work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Most people use the terms \u201cpower strip\u201d and \u201csurge protector\u201d interchangeably. But a power strip is just a big plastic thing that gives you extra outlets. Surge protectors are much more useful\u2014not only do they give you extra outlets, but they regulate the amount of power that your electronic devices receive.<\/p>\n<p>Think of surge protectors like a pressure-release valves. When the incoming voltage is too high, they send it to ground instead of letting it hit your electronics. And if the voltage is too low, your surge protector increases resistance to keep electronics functioning normally.<\/p>\n<p>So, while a surge protector can keep electronics online during a \u201cvoltage sag,\u201d they\u2019re most useful during power surges. As the name implies, a power surge sends an excess of voltage through your home wiring. This spike in voltage can\u00a0 destroy or damage electronic devices, and unfortunately, damaged electronics are a common source of house fires.<\/p>\n<p>Surge protectors are an essential item in any home, and at the very least, you should use them to defend valuable electronics from power surges. But you can\u2019t just use the same surge protectors for the rest of your life; they need to be replaced every few years.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Surge_Protection_Wears_Out_Over_Time\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_1\">Surge Protection Wears Out Over Time<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-123895\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/07\/1631dd5e.png\" alt=\"A big white surge protector on a wooden floor.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/power-saving-surge-protector-on-wood-1368439196\">Karen Roach\/Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>When surge protectors receive an excessive load of electricity, they divert or \u201cshunt\u201d the extra power to ground using a\u00a0metal oxide varistor (MOV). But in the process of diverting this power, the MOV exposes itself to the excess voltage. And over time, it wears out.<\/p>\n<p>Every surge protector has a rating that describes how much excess voltage the MOV can handle. This rating is in joules\u2014most power strips are equipped for 800 or 1,000 joules, while more expensive models can handle several times that amount.<\/p>\n<p>But this rating is cumulative; it\u2019s like health points in a video game. If a surge protector that\u2019s rated for 1,000 joules is hit by 100 joules during a thunderstorm, then it can only handle another 900 joules.<\/p>\n<p>Once a surge protector\u2019s \u201chealth points\u201d fall to zero, it no longer offers surge protection. It becomes a simple power strip that won\u2019t protect your electronics or your home.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box  \">\n<div class=\"product-img product-img-noaward\">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"presentation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Belkin-6-Outlet-Power-Protector-Rotating\/dp\/B000JJI6XA\/?tag=reviewgeek-20\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/316TJoQpgLL._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" width=\"150px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><br \/>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Old_Surge_Protectors_Are_a_Fire_Hazard\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_2\">Old Surge Protectors Are a Fire Hazard<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-123893 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/07\/ec001e67.png\" alt=\"The worst mess of surge protectors and dust you've ever seen.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Josh Hendrickson\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">I gasped when my editor showed me this picture. <span class=\"imagecredit\">Josh Hendrickson<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Once a surge protector is \u201cused up\u201d it becomes increasingly sensitive to low voltages. And that\u2019s a problem, because it will still try to soak up excess voltage and send power to ground. If it\u2019s hit by a large power surge, it may become damaged, which creates a fire hazard. It could also overheat and immediately catch fire.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, an old surge protector offers little protection for your electronic devices. These devices may become damaged due to the lack of surge protection, and that damage leads to its own fire risks.<\/p>\n<p>And even if we ignore surge protection altogether, surge protectors tend to be crammed behind furniture and appliances. They\u2019re in the nastiest parts of your home, and they collect dust, crumbs, hair, and dead bugs\u2014flammable stuff that slowly builds up over the years.<\/p>\n<p>These are not theoretical risks. As the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.consumersafetyguide.com\/surge-protector-fires\/\">Consumer Safety Guide<\/a> explains, functional surge protectors lower the risk of a house fire. But old or broken surge protectors are often the cause of fires.

Experts generally agree that you should replace surge protectors every two or three years, which is a good (though somewhat costly) rule of thumb.<\/p>\n<p>And while you might think that a fancy surge protector will \u201clast longer\u201d than one that\u2019s only rated for 200 joules, that isn\u2019t\u00a0<em>necessarily<\/em> the case. A large power surge can exceed 1,000 joules and instantaneously wear out the more expensive surge protectors in your home. A high joule rating simply provides extra peace of mind, especially for valuable or sensitive electronics.<\/p>\n<p>Now, you may notice that some power strips have a \u201csurge protection\u201d LED. This light will turn off (or turn on) to tell you that surge protection is no longer functioning properly. It\u2019s a useful feature, especially when paired with sensitive electronics, but it isn\u2019t 100% reliable.<\/p>\n<p>When you buy a new surge protector, I suggest writing the date on its backside. That way, you\u2019ll know to replace it when it\u2019s two or three years old.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box  \">\n<div class=\"product-img product-img-noaward\">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"presentation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Tripp-Lite-Protector-Right-Angle-ISOBAR6ULTRA\/dp\/B0000513US\/?tag=reviewgeek-20\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41btj3R2tEL._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" width=\"150px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><br \/>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"product-title \">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Shop for Tripp Lite Isobar 6-Outlet Surge Protector (3,330 Joules)\" aria-label=\"Shop for Tripp Lite Isobar 6-Outlet Surge Protector (3,330 Joules)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Tripp-Lite-Protector-Right-Angle-ISOBAR6ULTRA\/dp\/B0000513US\/?tag=reviewgeek-20\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tripp_Lite_Isobar_6-Outlet_Surge_Protector_3330_Joules\"><\/span>Tripp Lite Isobar 6-Outlet Surge Protector (3,330 Joules)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"product-features\">Protect valuable devices and reduce signal noise with this premium Tripp Lite surge protector.
