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.

Great local company to work with. My electrician, Ray, was punctual, professional, and very knowledgeable. We both were initially stumped why my recently purchased house had the microwave light button trigger the overhead kitchen lights. He found an improperly connected neutral from an outlet upgrade (to usb) and some significant backfeeding. In about an hour all was corrected and explained to me. Ray also noticed that the main panel in my house is original (1971) and very full. He recommened some electrical work that is on my list of projects. His recommendation and attention to detail in my home will make Roy's my first call when I am ready for this project. I am trilled with the service provided. Thanks so much!

I was having major electrical issues- lights dimming, appliances not working, etc. I called Roy’s and Mike Murphy assessed the situation, informed me what needed to be done and helped me with financing (especially helpful a week before Christmas!) Angelo & Joel repaired everything with consideration and respect, kept me informed of what they were doing at all times and they didn’t mind my little pain in the ass dog following them around. They ensured all of my appliances were working and checked the electric in each room, even labeling the breaker box. I will definitely call them again!
