Power surge damage — Lodz, Łódź
A power surge — a sudden spike in voltage lasting microseconds to milliseconds — can destroy sensitive electronics, damage appliances, and in severe cases melt wiring insulation or start fires. Common causes include lightning strikes, utility grid switching, and large appliances cycling on and off. A licensed electrician can install whole-house surge protection at the main panel, check grounding, and assess damage to circuits after a surge event.
