The Homeowner’s Guide to Whole House Surge Protection

Power surges can damage your electronics, fry expensive appliances, and create hidden fire hazards. Whole house surge protection defends your entire electrical system from sudden voltage spikes caused by lightning, utility issues, or large appliances cycling on and off.

What Causes Power Surges?

  • Lightning strikes near your home
  • Utility grid switching or transformer issues
  • High-powered appliances like HVAC units cycling
  • Wiring problems or outdated panels

Why You Need Whole House Surge Protection

Unlike plug-in surge protectors that only guard individual outlets, a whole house system is installed at your main electrical panel and provides protection for your entire home. It stops surges before they can travel through your wiring and reach your devices.

Protect Your Investment

Today’s homes are filled with sensitive electronics—from TVs and computers to smart appliances. A single power surge can destroy thousands of dollars in equipment. Whole house protection is a small investment for long-term peace of mind.
