Hi there! Turning off breakers for certain appliances is a good practice. However, your home's valuable appliances and electronics are still susceptible to surge damage from nearby lightning strikes or power line issues or damage. It is highly recommended to get a whole home surge protector at your home's electrical panel AND/OR a surge protection on your home's meter through your power company. You can have both!

We suggest also having a trusted neighbor, friend, or home watch company to come in and check on things periodically. We offer emergency After Hours electrical service and service calls to your home while you are away if needed! - Casandra, with Pike's Electric (352)748-6251
