On May 16, 2026, Touchstone Electric’s Raleigh branch completed a whole-home surge protection installation for homeowner Colin Hbredesen in Franklinton, NC. Lead technician Gustavo Peralta installed a panel-mounted surge protective device (SPD) to help safeguard the home’s electrical system, major appliances, HVAC, and sensitive electronics from damaging voltage spikes.
This project falls under our Panels & Service Upgrades services, with a focus on Whole-House Surge Protection for long-term reliability and peace of mind.
What We Installed
Our team installed a whole-home surge protector with a $50,000, 10-year warranty at the main electrical panel. The device works by diverting excess voltage safely to ground before it can travel through the home’s circuits and reach connected equipment. This offers critical protection from:
- Sudden voltage spikes caused by lightning activity in the area
- Power grid fluctuations and utility-side irregularities
- Everyday on/off cycling of equipment that can send surges through a home’s wiring
After installation, we verified proper connections and operation so the SPD can respond as designed when a surge occurs.
Why Whole-Home Surge Protection Matters
Even small, routine surges can degrade internal components in appliances and electronics over time, reducing performance and shortening their lifespan. A properly installed whole-house SPD provides a first line of defense at the service panel, helping to:
- Protect HVAC equipment, refrigerators, freezers, and other high-value appliances
- Shield hardwired lighting, switches, outlets, and electrical system components
- Preserve sensitive electronics from cumulative surge damage
By stopping excess voltage at the panel, the entire home benefits—not just a single outlet or power strip.
Warranty and Covered Equipment
The installed surge protector includes a $50,000, 10-year warranty on covered home appliances in the unlikely event of a failure. All claims are secondary to your existing insurance policy, and direct lightning strikes are excluded. Coverage applies when protected with a properly connected Boltshield SPD.
Covered Equipment includes, but is not limited to:
- Washer and dryer
- Refrigerator and freezer
- HVAC unit located inside the house, furnace, air handlers, and evaporator coils
- Trash compactor, dishwasher, garbage disposal, stove, and built-in microwave
- Hardwired ranges, landscape lighting, and home lighting
- Wiring, outlets/switches, and electrical system components (including breakers)
Not covered: security systems and medical equipment.
