What We Installed
We installed a whole-house surge protector at the main electrical panel. This device continuously monitors incoming power and, during a surge, diverts excess voltage safely to ground before it can reach your home’s wiring and equipment. By intercepting spikes from lightning activity in the area, grid fluctuations, and large appliances cycling on and off, the system helps prevent damage and reduces the wear that shortens the lifespan of electronics and appliances.
The selected surge protector includes a $10,000, 3-year warranty for covered household equipment in the unlikely event of failure when installed and connected properly.
Why Whole-House Surge Protection Matters
- Protects the entire home: Shields all branch circuits and hard-wired devices from panel-level surges.
- Helps extend equipment life: Reduces routine surge stress that can degrade sensitive components over time.
- Complements point-of-use protection: Adds a first line of defense before surges reach outlets or plug-in devices.
- Peace of mind during storms: Adds critical protection against common power disturbances.
