Our Raleigh branch completed a whole‑home surge protection project and wiring cleanup for homeowner Diana Powell in Selma, NC on February 12, 2026. Led by technician Cody Perry, this service combined panel‑level protection with safe remediation of old oven and cooktop wiring to help safeguard appliances and the home’s electrical system.
Primary service: Panels & Service Upgrades • Secondary: Whole‑House Surge Protection
Diana praised our team with a positive review of the work.
What We Did
- Installed a whole‑house surge protective device (SPD) at the main panel: Provides panel‑level defense against power surges from lightning activity, utility grid fluctuations, and large equipment cycling on and off. We verified proper grounding and bonding and tested operation before leaving.
- Cleaned up legacy oven/cooktop wiring under the home: Removed obsolete conductors and set safe, accessible terminations in code‑compliant junction boxes with secure covers, helping reduce fire risk and future troubleshooting time.
- Prepared appliance connections during one visit: Supported two major, customer‑supplied appliances with the correct receptacle or hardwired connection as applicable. We also removed the old oven and cooktop as part of the decommissioning work.
- Performed panel and safety checks: Tightened terminations, confirmed labeling, and ensured a low‑impedance path to ground for the SPD to do its job effectively.
As with all projects completed by our Raleigh team in Selma, we backed this job with our lifetime craftsmanship warranty.
Why Surge Protection Matters for Selma Homes
Even small, routine voltage spikes can quietly damage sensitive components inside appliances and electronics. A properly installed whole‑house SPD helps:
- Protect connected equipment: Diverts excess voltage to ground before it spreads through branch circuits.
- Extend appliance life: Reduces cumulative wear on motors, circuit boards, and power supplies.
- Improve resilience: Adds a first line of defense against surges from storms and utility events common in our area.
$10k / 3‑Year Connected‑Equipment Warranty
This whole‑house surge protector includes a 3‑year, up to $10,000 connected‑equipment warranty for covered items if the device fails to protect. Coverage applies when equipment is protected by a properly installed surge protective device at the main panel.
- Examples of covered equipment: Washer, dryer, refrigerator, freezer, indoor HVAC equipment, dishwasher, garbage disposal, stove/range, hardwired appliances, and key electrical system components (such as breakers, wiring, and outlets/switches) when protected by the SPD.
- Important details: Claims are secondary to your existing homeowner’s insurance; direct lightning strikes are excluded. Security systems and medical equipment are not covered.
