Sort of. It's not the time, but the energy absorbed. Most surge supressors, such as MOV's (metal oxide varistors) can only absorb so many joules of energy. During day to day operation, they absorb many small transients that you are never aware of. Eventually, they reach their limit and decrease in effectiveness or fail to function altogether. Depending on the quality of your incoming power, this could mean mere months, or could extend to several years.

Does Pennsylvania allow silencers for firearms?

No. Silencers are against federal law, so no state law can over ride it. ------ Actually, that is incorrect. Suppressors (silencers) are quite legal in the US. Federal law restricts them, but does not prohibit them. The federal requirements are not difficult to meet. Checking PA state law it appears that suppressors are also quite legal in that state so long as you comply with the federal requirements.
