Whole-Home Surge Protection Installed at the Main Panel in Dunn, NC
Touchstone Electric recently completed a professional whole-home surge protection installation for Michael Hobbs in Dunn, NC. Led by technician Cody Perry, this project focused on safeguarding the home’s appliances and electronics by placing a surge protective device (SPD) at the main electrical panel—where protection is most effective for the entire residence.
Completed on November 10, 2025, this service is part of our Raleigh branch’s ongoing commitment to deliver reliable, code-compliant electrical upgrades that help homeowners protect what matters most.
Project Highlights
- Installed a whole-home surge protector at the main electrical panel to divert excess voltage safely to ground.
- Included a $50,000 / 10-year product warranty for covered equipment in the unlikely event of SPD failure.
- Performed clean, minimally invasive wire fishing (10 ft) to route conductors through finished areas without damaging walls.
- Backed the workmanship with our Signature Lifetime Craftsmanship Warranty.
Why Whole-Home Surge Protection Matters
- Defends against surges caused by lightning nearby, power grid fluctuations, and large appliances cycling on and off.
- Extends equipment life by preventing repetitive small surges that can degrade internal components over time.
- Protects the entire home when installed at the main panel, helping shield branch circuits, outlets, and hard-wired devices.
- Reduces downtime and replacement costs by minimizing the risk of sudden equipment damage.
