Why (and When) You Need to Replace Your Surge ProtectorSurge protectors aren’t like diamonds. They have a definite lifespan. At some point, your surge protector will stop protecting your gear from power surges and become a dumb power strip.It’s difficult to tell exactly when a surge protector loses those protective powers and just functions as a power strip. But, if you’re still using an old surge protector you purchased ten years ago, it’s probably long past time to replace it.
It is hard to determine the actual lifespan of a surge protector in months or years due to the unpredictability of electrical surges. The website Zero Surge suggests that most standard surge protectors should last around five years before needing to be replaced but a surge that damages the protector will instantly shorten the life.

To be honest, it doesn’t take much to compromise them.
