Why surge protection matters
Voltage surges can come from utility switching, nearby lightning activity and equipment cycling inside a property. Modern homes and businesses contain more sensitive electronics than ever, including appliance controls, HVAC boards, computers, televisions and EV charging equipment.
What installation includes
- Review of the electrical panel and available connection space
- Selection of a compatible surge protective device
- Professional installation at the service equipment
- Verification of the installation and device status
- Recommendations for additional point-of-use protection where useful
A layered approach
Whole-home protection does not replace every plug-in protector, but it can reduce the energy reaching branch circuits. Important electronics may benefit from both panel-level and point-of-use protection.
Frequently asked questions
Does surge protection prevent all electrical damage?
No device can guarantee protection from every event, but a properly selected and installed system can substantially improve protection against common transient surges.
Can it be installed on an older panel?
Sometimes. The panel condition, compatibility and available space must be checked first. An upgrade may be recommended if the equipment is obsolete or unsafe.
