Whole‑House Surge Protection Installed in Locust, NC
Our Charlotte team from the Matthews branch completed a whole‑house surge protection installation for homeowner Larry Pointer in Locust, NC. This service falls under our Panels & Service Upgrades and Whole‑House Surge Protection offerings and was completed on April 13, 2026 by technicians Mark Viktorovich and Tyquan Johnson.
We installed a surge protective device at the main electrical panel to safeguard the home’s appliances, HVAC, and sensitive electronics from damaging voltage spikes. This upgrade helps shield the entire electrical system from surges caused by lightning activity in the area, power grid fluctuations, and everyday equipment cycling.
What We Did on This Job
- Installed a whole‑home surge protective device (SPD) at the main service panel in Locust, NC.
- Integrated the SPD to divert excess voltage safely to ground, preventing harmful surges from traveling through the home’s wiring.
- Verified connections and functionality at the panel and documented the installation for the homeowner.
The result is a cleaner, more resilient electrical system that helps protect valuable equipment and extend the life of electronics.
How Whole‑House Surge Protection Helps
- Shields your electrical system from sudden voltage spikes from lightning, utility issues, or large appliances switching on and off.
- Helps protect “covered equipment” such as major appliances and hard‑wired devices throughout the home.
- Supports longer service life for electronics by reducing cumulative surge damage to internal components.
$100k 10‑Year Warranty Coverage
This installation includes a $100,000, 10‑year warranty that applies to covered home appliances and devices in the unlikely event of SPD failure. Per the manufacturer’s terms, all claims are secondary to your existing insurance policy and direct lightning strikes are excluded.
Covered equipment (when protected by a properly connected BoltShield SPD) includes examples such as:
- Washer, dryer, refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, trash compactor, garbage disposal, stove
- HVAC equipment located inside the house, furnace, air handlers, evaporator coils
- Hard‑wired appliances/devices (built‑in microwaves, hard‑wired ranges), landscape lighting, home lighting
- Home electrical system components: wiring, outlets/switches, breakers, and related components
Security systems and medical equipment are not included and are specifically excluded from covered equipment.
