Power disturbances can enter through the utility supply or be created by equipment inside the home. A whole-home surge protective device helps reduce transient voltage before it reaches connected equipment. We review the panel, service configuration, available space, grounding, and manufacturer requirements to select a clean installation approach.

Common questions
Answers about
surge protection.
01Does whole-home surge protection replace plug-in strips?+
It provides protection at the panel, while point-of-use devices may add another layer for sensitive electronics. One does not necessarily replace every other protection method.
02Can it be added to my existing panel?+
Often, yes. We first confirm panel compatibility, available space, and the correct installation method.
03Can it be installed during a panel upgrade?+
Yes. A service or panel upgrade is an excellent time to incorporate whole-home surge protection.
