It’s important to record the date of purchase if there are no obvious symptoms of wear and to keep an eye out for any indications of failure, such as increased tripping. If you upgrade your surge protectors during this period, your electronics will continue to be protected from erratic power swings, extending their lifespan and maintaining their performance.
