Whole-Home Surge Protection Installation in Charlotte, NC

On May 22, 2026, our Charlotte branch completed a whole-house surge protector installation for homeowner Nicole Hamber. Lead technician Chris Rogers installed the device at the main electrical panel, giving the home a first line of defense against damaging voltage spikes from storms, utility grid fluctuations, and large appliances cycling on and off.

This project falls under our Panels & Service Upgrades and Whole-House Surge Protection services for homeowners in Charlotte, NC.

What We Installed

We fitted a premium surge protective device (SPD) at the main service panel. By diverting excess voltage safely to ground before it travels through branch circuits, a whole-home SPD helps protect the home’s wiring and connected equipment. This reduces the risk of sudden failures and the slow, hidden damage caused by frequent small surges.

Helps extend the service life of appliances and electronics

Why Surge Protection Matters

Not all surges are dramatic. Routine spikes—caused by storms, utility events, or motors starting and stopping—can steadily degrade sensitive components in HVAC equipment, kitchen appliances, LED lighting, and home electronics. A properly connected whole-house SPD provides a crucial layer of protection before power reaches downstream devices.

$10,000, 3-Year Warranty Coverage

This installation is backed by a $10,000, 3-year warranty on covered home appliances in the unlikely event of SPD failure. All claims are secondary to your existing insurance policy and direct lightning strikes are excluded. Coverage applies when the equipment is protected by a properly connected Boltshield SPD.

Covered Equipment includes (when protected by the installed SPD):

Washer and dryer
Refrigerator and freezer
HVAC unit located inside the home
Trash compactor and dishwasher
Garbage disposal and stove
Home wiring, outlets, switches, and electrical system components (including breakers)
Hard-wired appliances and devices (such as built-in microwaves, furnace, air handlers, evaporator coils, hardwired ranges, landscape lighting, and home lighting)

Not covered: security systems and medical equipment.
