Whole-Home Surge Protector Installed at the Main Panel in Cramerton, NC
Touchstone Electric completed a whole-house surge protector installation for homeowner Ann Fielding in Cramerton, NC. On August 2, 2024, our Charlotte business unit dispatched technician Jamie Fountain from our Matthews branch to install protection at the home’s main electrical panel, providing a first line of defense against damaging voltage spikes.
This project falls under our Panels & Service Upgrades and Whole-House Surge Protection services. By intercepting excess voltage at the service entrance and diverting it safely to ground, the system helps shield every circuit in the home—from major appliances to sensitive electronics.
What We Did
- Evaluated the main service panel and grounding path to determine optimal placement for the surge protection device.
- Installed a whole-home surge protector at the main panel, keeping lead lengths short for effective performance and following manufacturer specifications.
- Labeled the equipment at the panel for easy identification and homeowner reference.
- Verified proper operation and provided guidance on how the device protects the home during storms and utility fluctuations.
The installed unit includes a $10,000 appliance protection component and a 3-year warranty, offering added peace of mind in the unlikely event of a device failure.
Why Surge Protection Matters in Cramerton

- Protects major appliances like HVAC systems, refrigerators, ranges, and washers.
- Shields sensitive electronics such as TVs, computers, networking gear, and smart-home devices.
- Helps extend equipment life by reducing wear from everyday micro-surges.
- Complements point-of-use strips by stopping large surges at the source.
