Project overview
Touchstone Electric’s Raleigh branch completed a whole-home surge protection installation for homeowner Monica Ayres in Pinehurst, NC on April 16, 2026. Led by technician Francisco Martinez, this Panels & Service Upgrades project added a high-performance, $100K/10-year surge protection system at the main electrical panel to safeguard the home’s electrical system and connected appliances.
As a local residential electrical contractor serving Pinehurst and surrounding areas, our goal is to deliver reliable protection from damaging voltage spikes while ensuring clean, code-compliant workmanship that lasts.
What we installed
We installed a whole-house surge protector at the main service panel. This device continually monitors for voltage spikes from lightning activity, utility grid fluctuations, or large equipment cycling on and off. When a surge occurs, the protector diverts excess voltage safely to ground, helping prevent it from reaching your home’s wiring, electronics, and appliances.
- Location: Main electrical panel for whole-home coverage
- Protection goal: Shield sensitive circuits, appliances, and electronics from damaging surges
- Outcome: Enhanced system reliability and extended equipment lifespan
Key benefits of whole-home surge protection
- Defense against surges: Helps protect from lightning-related events, grid irregularities, and internal equipment switching.
- Protects major investments: Adds a critical layer of protection to HVAC equipment, kitchen appliances, and hardwired devices.
- Extends equipment life: Reduces routine surge exposure that can degrade internal components over time.
- Panel-level coverage: Centralized protection right where power enters the home.
