What Is Whole-Home Surge Protection?

Whole-home surge protection is a system that safeguards your electrical devices and appliances from sudden voltage spikes. These surges can be caused by lightning strikes, power outages, or fluctuations in the electrical grid. A surge protector installed at your main electrical panel helps prevent costly damage to your home’s electronics and wiring.

Why Do I Need Whole-Home Surge Protection?

Power surges can damage or shorten the lifespan of expensive electronics, appliances, and HVAC systems. A whole-home surge protector acts as the first line of defense, diverting excess voltage away from your home’s wiring. This added layer of protection reduces the risk of costly repairs and replacements.

What Causes Power Surges in a Home?

Power surges can be triggered by lightning strikes, utility grid fluctuations, or large appliances cycling on and off. Internal power surges from devices like refrigerators, air conditioners, and washers can also wear down electrical components over time. Whole-home surge protection helps prevent these common sources of electrical damage.

How Does a Whole-Home Surge Protector Work?

A whole-home surge protector is installed at the main electrical panel and monitors incoming electricity. When it detects a spike in voltage, it diverts the excess energy away from your home’s wiring, preventing damage to connected devices. This protection helps safeguard everything from computers and televisions to HVAC systems and kitchen appliances.

Can Whole-Home Surge Protection Prevent Lightning Damage?

While no system can completely prevent lightning damage, whole-home surge protection significantly reduces the risk. It helps prevent high-voltage surges from reaching your home’s electrical system. For additional protection, using plug-in surge protectors with sensitive electronics is recommended.

What’s the Difference Between Whole-Home and Power Strip Surge Protectors?

Power strip surge protectors provide localized protection for specific devices, while whole-home surge protection safeguards your entire electrical system. Whole-home surge protectors defend against larger surges from external sources, while power strips are a secondary line of defense. Using both together offers the best protection.

How Long Does a Whole-Home Surge Protector Last?

Most whole-home surge protectors last between 5-10 years, depending on the number of surges they absorb. Some models have indicator lights or alarms to signal when they need replacement. Regular inspections by an electrician can ensure your surge protector is still providing adequate protection.

Should I Hire a Professional to Install Whole-Home Surge Protection?

Yes, whole-home surge protectors must be installed at your main electrical panel, which requires professional wiring and setup. An electrician ensures the system is correctly installed and meets electrical code requirements. Professional installation guarantees that your home is fully protected against power surges.

Josh B came to the house and was so helpful! Quickly found the cause of the leak and repaired it, didn’t try to nickel and dime me. On top of that he was very courteous, warned me of any loud noises so as not to disturb my baby, which was above and beyond. Would definitely trust him with a job again!

The service technician routed out the tree roots and got the sewage draining again in short order. He removed a ball of roots the size of a football with individual roots the size of a common pencil. Very happy with the results and care for our home. He even helped me move 50 individual gallon containers of water that were in the way of access for his machine. Very happy with the job preformance. But the cost was above $200/hour for emergency service.

Tom was fantastic! We've never had to call a plumber before because we are DIY'ers, so we were very hesitant. But we definitely made the the right choice! Tom was on-time, very knowledgeable and listened to all of my concerns before addressing the problem. When we need to add a bathroom we will be contacting Roy's to do the plumbing!
