Professional Whole-House Surge Protection in Fountain Inn, SC
Touchstone Electric completed a whole-house surge protector installation at the main panel for homeowner Jennifer Beaulieu in Fountain Inn, SC. The project was handled by our Greenville team based in Taylors and completed on November 20, 2025, with lead technician Tyler Harris on site.
This upgrade helps safeguard the home’s wiring, appliances, and electronics from damaging voltage spikes and power disturbances, providing peace of mind during storms and everyday utility fluctuations.
Why Surge Protection Matters for Your Home
Whole-house surge protection works at the service entrance, diverting excess voltage safely to ground before it can travel through branch circuits. It helps protect sensitive devices and major systems from:
- Lightning-related surges and nearby strikes
- Power grid fluctuations and utility switching events
- Equipment cycling as large appliances turn on and off
By clamping high-voltage transients, a properly installed surge protective device (SPD) helps extend the lifespan of appliances and electronics and reduces the risk of costly replacements.
What We Installed at the Main Panel
Our team installed a panel-mounted SPD at the home’s main electrical panel in Fountain Inn. Positioning the SPD at the service entrance allows it to intercept transient voltage and route it to the grounding system before it can reach the home’s circuits and connected equipment.
- Mounted and connected per manufacturer specifications
- Bonded to the home’s grounding system
- Lead lengths minimized to improve performance
- Labeled and function-verified after installation
The installed surge protector includes a $10,000, 3-year warranty for covered equipment in the unlikely event of SPD failure.
Warranty Summary for This Project
Coverage is secondary to your existing insurance policy and excludes direct lightning strikes. “Covered Equipment” includes, when protected by a properly connected Boltshield SPD:
- Washer and dryer
- Refrigerator and freezer
- HVAC unit located inside the house
- Trash compactor, dishwasher, garbage disposal, stove
- Wiring, outlets/switches, and electrical system components (breakers, etc.)
- Hard-wired devices and appliances such as built-in microwaves, furnace, air handlers, evaporator coils, hardwired ranges, landscape lighting, and home lighting
Security systems and medical equipment are not included and are specifically excluded from Covered Equipment.
