Description
Spot the warning signs before your electronics quietly die: https://walt-brennan.netlify.app/
Everybody blames lightning, but that's not what's wearing out the electronics in your house. The real damage comes on clear, sunny days — tiny surges from a motor kicking off in your basement or the utility switching a line miles away. You never see a flicker, nothing dies that day, but each little hit takes a bite until one morning the TV just won't turn on. In this one I show you the only three things in your house that actually need a surge protector, and the one box that quietly covers everything else.
Here's what I walk through:
- Why the slow, invisible surges do far more harm than the rare lightning strike
- The three devices in your home worth protecting directly
- The single whole-house solution that handles the rest
- Why most of what you own doesn't care about any of this at all
