Touchstone Electric recently completed a whole‑house electrical surge protection installation in Greer, SC. Our Greenville branch, based out of Taylors, dispatched technician Johann Fischer to install a dedicated surge protective device (SPD) at the home’s main electrical panel. This upgrade shields the home’s wiring and hard‑wired appliances from damaging voltage spikes caused by lightning activity, utility grid fluctuations, and large appliances cycling on and off.
Customer Kalyn Brannon praised our team with a positive review following this project. Completion date: August 20, 2026.
What We Installed at the Main Panel
We installed a whole‑house surge protector (Boltshield SPD) directly at the main electrical panel. When a surge appears on the line, the SPD diverts excess voltage safely to ground before it can travel through the home’s circuits. This helps:
- Protect sensitive electronics and hard‑wired equipment from sudden spikes
- Reduce nuisance damage from everyday micro‑surges
- Extend the lifespan of appliances and electrical components
This project falls under our Panels & Service Upgrades category with a focus on Whole‑House Surge Protection.
Why Surge Protection Matters in Greer
Greer homeowners experience storms, utility switching, and equipment cycling that can introduce surges into the electrical system. Even small, routine surges can degrade circuit boards and motor windings over time. A properly connected SPD at the service panel provides a first line of defense for your entire home, complementing point‑of‑use protectors for plug‑in devices.
10‑Year, $50,000 Limited Warranty Highlights
The installed surge protector includes a 10‑year, $50,000 limited warranty for eligible home appliances in the unlikely event of SPD failure when properly connected. Key points:
- Coverage focus: Helps protect your electrical system and Covered Equipment from voltage spikes or surges.
- Claims are secondary: All claims will be secondary to your existing homeowner’s insurance policy.
- Exclusion: Direct lightning strikes are excluded.
Covered Equipment includes, when protected by a properly connected Boltshield SPD:
- Washer, dryer, refrigerator, freezer
- Dishwasher, garbage disposal, trash compactor, stove
- HVAC unit located inside the house
- Wiring, outlets/switches, electrical system components (breakers, etc.)
- Hard‑wired appliances/devices such as built‑in microwaves, furnace, air handlers, evaporator coils, hard‑wired ranges
- Landscape lighting and home lighting
Not included: Security systems and medical equipment are not covered and are specifically excluded.
