A surge protector is a device that is designed to protect electrical equipment from power surges. It works by diverting excess voltage away from the protected equipment, helping to prevent damage from voltage spikes.

Yes, you can use a surge protector with a GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) outlet. GFCI outlets are designed to protect against electrical shocks and are commonly found in areas with water, such as kitchens and bathrooms. If you are using a surge protector with a GFCI outlet, make sure to turn off the GFCI before plugging in the surge protector.

The frequency with which you should replace your surge protector depends on the type of surge protector you have and the amount of use it gets. Some surge protectors have a built-in indicator light that lets you know when it is time to replace the unit. In general, it is a good idea to replace your surge protector every 3-5 years or sooner if it has been damaged or is no longer providing adequate protection for your electronic devices.
