Project overview

Touchstone Electric completed a whole-house surge protector installation for Elias Savellos in Greenwood, SC. Performed by our Charlotte branch team based in Matthews, technician Cash Divver installed the protection device at the main electrical panel on March 4, 2026. This service falls under our Panels & Service Upgrades and Whole-House Surge Protection offerings for homeowners in and around Greenwood.

What we installed at the main panel

We installed a baseline whole-home surge protection device designed to divert excess voltage safely to ground before it can travel through your home’s wiring. By stopping large spikes caused by lightning activity, power grid fluctuations, or heavy appliances cycling on and off, the protector helps shield your electrical system and connected equipment from damage.

This model includes a $10,000 warranty for 3 years on covered home appliances in the unlikely event of a surge protector failure, offering added peace of mind for Greenwood homeowners.

How surge protection helps your Greenwood home

Guards sensitive electronics: Helps prevent destructive voltage from reaching TVs, computers, and smart devices.
Protects major appliances: Reduces exposure to damaging surges at refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, dishwashers, and more.
Extends equipment lifespan: Routine small surges can degrade internal components; panel-level protection reduces this wear.
Whole-home coverage point: Installed at the main panel for system-wide protection rather than relying on individual plug-in strips.

Warranty highlights and covered equipment

The installed surge protector includes a manufacturer warranty of $10,000 for 3 years on covered appliances if the device fails. All claims are secondary to your existing insurance policy, and direct lightning strikes are excluded.

Covered Equipment includes (when protected with 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, electrical system components (including breakers)
