What We Installed
We furnished and installed a whole-house surge protector at the home’s main electrical panel. Think of it like an airbag for your entire electrical system: when a voltage spike occurs, the device safely diverts excess energy to ground before it can reach sensitive circuits and electronics.
- Main-panel protection: Intercepts surges at the service entrance to shield the entire home.
- Defends against common surge sources: Lightning activity, utility grid fluctuations, and large appliances cycling on and off.
- Helps extend equipment life: Reduces the cumulative stress that can prematurely wear out appliances and electronics.
- 3-year coverage: This installation includes coverage that provides added peace of mind over the first three years of operation.
By stopping destructive voltage at the panel, this installation helps protect refrigerators, HVAC systems, washers and dryers, smart TVs, computers, and other connected devices throughout the home.
Our Installation Process
- Site evaluation: Verified panel capacity, neutral and ground integrity, and the optimal mounting location for the device.
- Code-compliant integration: Installed the surge protector to manufacturer specifications with proper overcurrent protection and conductors kept as short and straight as practical for best performance.
- Grounding and bonding check: Confirmed effective grounding and bonding to ensure safe and efficient diversion of surge energy.
- Labeling and documentation: Labeled the equipment and documented settings for easy future reference.
- System testing: Completed functionality checks and verified indicator status to ensure the protector was fully operational.
Every step is performed to current electrical code and manufacturer standards, delivering reliable protection that’s built to last.
