Whole-House Surge Protection Installed in Benson, NC
On June 3, 2026, our Raleigh branch completed a whole-home surge protection installation for homeowner Kelly Derushia in Benson, NC. Led by technician Francisco Martinez, this project falls under our Panels & Service Upgrades category with a focus on Whole-House Surge Protection. The installation included our Signature Lifetime Craftsmanship Warranty, giving long-term peace of mind alongside robust equipment protection.
- Location: Benson, NC (served by our Raleigh team)
- Service: Whole-House Surge Protection at the main electrical panel
- Warranty: $50,000 equipment protection for 10 years (manufacturer-backed)
- Craftsmanship: Signature Lifetime Craftsmanship Warranty included
What We Installed and Why It Matters
We installed a whole-home surge protective device (SPD) at the main electrical panel. This unit monitors for sudden voltage spikes and safely diverts excess energy to ground before it can reach your home’s wiring and connected equipment. It’s a critical layer of defense against surges from lightning activity in the area, utility grid fluctuations, and everyday cycling of large appliances.
- Protects major systems such as HVAC, refrigerators, and laundry equipment
- Shields sensitive electronics from damaging transient voltage
- Helps extend the lifespan of appliances and hard-wired devices
- Works 24/7 at the panel for whole-home coverage
$50,000 / 10-Year Equipment Protection
This installation includes a manufacturer’s warranty providing up to $50,000 of coverage for a period of 10 years in the unlikely event of protected equipment damage due to a surge. Coverage focuses on household appliances and hard-wired systems when protected by a properly connected surge protector.
Examples of covered equipment may include:
- Washer, dryer, refrigerator, and freezer
- HVAC equipment located inside the home
- Trash compactor, dishwasher, garbage disposal, and stove
- Home wiring, outlets/switches, and electrical system components (e.g., breakers)
- Hard-wired devices and appliances such as built-in microwaves, furnace, air handlers, evaporator coils, hardwired ranges, landscape lighting, and home lighting
Important warranty notes: All claims are secondary to your existing insurance policy. Direct lightning strikes are excluded. Security systems and medical equipment are not covered. Coverage applies when equipment is protected by a properly connected SPD (e.g., a Boltshield-type device).
