In Malta, throughout Autumn and Winter we are often at the mercy of frequent storms; dramatic thunder claps awakening us in the middle of the night, with bold, brazen lightning strikes piercing our skies.  But while cooing over dramatic weather photos shared on social media the next day, never underestimate the very real and present danger that lighting strikes cause.  A typical lightning strike contains more than 100 million volts of electricity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insurers worldwide say claims for house fires and damage caused by charges from lightning is on the up, and that these occurrences are among the costliest insurance risks.

Lightning and its associated power surges can disrupt, degrade or fry your home tech and smart devices connected throughout your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
