🛡️ Surge Protection

WHOLE HOME SURGE PROTECTION

A single power surge can destroy thousands of dollars worth of electronics, appliances, and HVAC equipment in an instant. A whole-house surge protector is your first line of defense.

What Causes Power Surges?

Most people think surges only come from lightning strikes, but the majority actually come from inside your home or from the utility grid:

  • Lightning strikes (direct or nearby) — the most destructive type
  • Utility grid switching and power restoration after outages
  • Large appliances cycling on/off (HVAC, refrigerators, dryers)
  • Downed power lines and transformer issues
  • Construction or tree work near power lines in your neighborhood

What a Whole-House Surge Protector Does

A whole-house surge protection device (SPD) is installed directly at your electrical panel. It monitors incoming power and diverts excess voltage to ground before it reaches your home's wiring and connected devices.

Protects All Circuits

Every outlet in your home is protected — not just the ones with power strips.

Safeguards Expensive Equipment

TVs, computers, smart home systems, HVAC controls, EV chargers, and more.

Works 24/7 Automatically

No action needed from you. The SPD is always monitoring and protecting.

Affordable Insurance

A few hundred dollars to protect tens of thousands in electronics and appliances.

💡 Pro Tip: Layer Your Protection

For maximum protection, we recommend a two-layer approach: a whole-house surge protector at the panel (Type 1 or Type 2 SPD) combined with point-of-use surge protectors at sensitive equipment like computers and home theater systems.
