Request ServiceSurge Protection Questions, Answered.
What does a whole-home surge protector do?
It helps limit sudden voltage spikes before they travel from your electrical panel into the circuits throughout your home.
Do I still need surge-protecting power strips?
Whole-home protection provides a first line of defense at the panel. Plug-in surge protectors can add another layer of protection for especially sensitive electronics.
Does a whole-home surge protector protect against lightning?
It can help reduce damage from voltage surges associated with storms, but no surge protection device can guarantee protection from every direct lightning event.
How long does whole-home surge protector installation take?
Installation time depends on your electrical panel and existing system, but many installations can be completed during a standard service visit.
Can surge protection be added to an older home?
Often, yes. We'll evaluate your electrical panel and grounding to determine what is needed for a safe installation.
Should I add surge protection when upgrading my panel?
A panel upgrade is an ideal time to consider whole-home surge protection because the work is already focused on improving your home's electrical system.
