What is a Surge?
Unfortunately, the term ‘surge’ has been used to describe every
type of power disturbance. However, a surge, sometimes called a
transient or a spike, is a brief burst of energy (voltage and current).
The most damaging surges enter through your home’s power, cable
and telephone lines. However, the majority of surges originate within
the home from the action of motor based appliances like dishwashers,
refrigerators, garage door openers, etc.
How do surges affect your equipment?
Large surges can damage equipment by “burning up” the internal
components of your sensitive electronic equipment and appliances.
Moderate surges disrupt equipment operation and damage internal
components. Lower energy surges degrade equipment acting like
“electronic rust.”

What is Ground Reference Monitoring (GRM)?
Over time, electrical system connections can become loose due
to extreme seasonal changes. In the rare instance, your electrical
system’s neutral to ground bond connection becomes loose or broken,
a serious safety and electrical condition will exist that will potentially
damage equipment in the home. If this condition arises, FirstSurge’s
TM
GRM Diagnostics will alert you, and you should immediately contact a
licensed electrician to repair this issue in a timely manner.
