Whole-House Surge Protector Installed in Spartanburg, SC
Touchstone Electric’s Greenville team, operating from our Taylors branch, completed a whole-house surge protector installation for homeowner Shawn Belcher in Spartanburg, SC on December 8, 2025. Lead technician Tyler Harris installed the device at the main electrical panel to provide comprehensive protection for the home’s electrical system, appliances, and sensitive electronics.
This project falls under our Panels & Service Upgrades category with a focus on Whole-House Surge Protection, helping safeguard against damaging voltage spikes from lightning, utility grid fluctuations, and large equipment cycling on and off.
How a Whole-House Surge Protector Safeguards Your Home
Installed at the main electrical panel, the surge protective device (SPD) continuously monitors incoming power. When excess voltage appears, it diverts that surge safely to ground before it can travel through circuits and damage connected equipment.
- Defends against surges from lightning activity and utility grid disturbances
- Helps prevent damage caused by appliances cycling on and off
- Extends the lifespan of electronics by reducing routine surge stress
- Provides panel-level protection for the whole home, not just one outlet
By placing the SPD at the source, Tyler ensured faster response and broader coverage than point-of-use plug-in protectors alone.
Warranty and Coverage Details
The installed surge protector includes a 10-year, $100,000 warranty for covered home appliances in the unlikely event of device failure. As noted by the manufacturer:
- Claims are secondary to your existing homeowner’s insurance policy.
- Direct lightning strikes are excluded.
- Covered Equipment includes items such as: washer, dryer, refrigerator, freezer, HVAC unit located inside the house, trash compactor, dishwasher, garbage disposal, stove, wiring, outlets/switches, electrical system components (breakers, etc.), and hard‑wired devices like built‑in microwaves, furnace, air handlers, evaporator coils, hardwired ranges, landscape lighting, and home lighting—when these items are protected by a properly connected SPD.
- Not covered: security systems and medical equipment.
Our team installs SPDs to manufacturer specifications at the main panel to help ensure proper operation and eligibility under the stated warranty terms.
