With summer comes thunderstorms and power outages. Everybody knows to protect their computers, TVs and electronic devices, but don't forget your appliances. Nowadays, almost all appliances have electronic boards and are susceptible to power surge damage just like your TV or computer.
If you can, before a storm, unplug or turn off at the breaker box your appliances. Likewise if the power goes out, turn your appliances off to protect them from the power surges that often come when power is restored to your home. For even more protection, have a qualified electrician install a whole house surge protector to prevent costly and untimely repairs for your appliances.
