My magsafe charger light doesn't light up but it still charges?

So i have great luck with apple products ( every single iphone i have owned since the 5s needed to be replaced,except for my 6s plus) and i noticed when i plug in my charger to my pro 13 which is 3 months old, the magsafe light doesn't light up the very first time i plug it in. I've been able to repeat this day after day and i can't seem to figure out what's wrong with it, both the charger and port are relatively clean, and i do not abuse my charger, it rarely even gets unplugged from my surge protector, is what i am experiencing a common issue with magsafe chargers and is there a fix or to i have to go the apple store and talk to a genius to resolve it? thanks.

Have you tried the Magsafe on another wall outlet besides the surge protector?

no, but i would see if i had a power delivery problem if the other shit connected to it was having troubles as well would i not? I have a monitor, router, lamp and some other stuff connected to it so i doubt the plug is the issue. correct me if im wrong

Simple surge protectors only protect against fluctuations below and beyond certain ranges. I would try the charger on a separate circuit, say the kitchen's (since the other outlet in the room is [likely] on the same circuit), and see if the result is the same.
