A system for indicating a service need for a surge protector includes a surge protection component. The surge protection component conducts electrical power from the power source to a load when the electrical power has a voltage that is less than a predetermined threshold. The surge protection component also diverts electrical power from the load when the electrical power has a voltage that is greater than the predetermined threshold, the system. The system includes a personal area network chipset. A control circuit is communicatively coupled to the personal area network chipset. The control circuit enters a first alarm state when the surge protection component has reached an expiration date. The control circuit causes the personal area network chipset to generate a wireless alert signal indicating that the surge protection component should be replaced upon the control circuit entering the first alarm state.
A system for indicating a service need for a surge protector that includes a surge protection component having a first port for connection to the power source and a second port for connection to the load, the surge protection component configured to conduct electrical power from the power source to the load when the electrical power has a voltage that is less than a predetermined threshold and configured to divert electrical power from the load when the electrical power has a voltage that is greater than the predetermined threshold, the system comprising:
