Why Whole House Surge Protection Is a Smart Investment

Power surges can happen in an instant, but the damage they cause can be long-lasting and expensive. From fried appliances to damaged wiring, surges are more common than you might think. That’s where whole house surge protection comes in.

What Causes Power Surges?

Surges can be caused by lightning strikes, downed power lines, utility grid switches, or even large appliances cycling on and off. While many people think only of lightning, 80% of surges actually originate inside the home.

What Is Whole House Surge Protection?

A whole house surge protector is installed at your electrical panel. It diverts excess voltage safely into the ground before it reaches your home’s wiring and devices. This offers far more protection than basic power strips.

Benefits of Surge Protection

• Protects expensive electronics and appliances
• Reduces fire risks from damaged wiring
• Helps extend the life of your electrical system
• Peace of mind during storms or outages

Is It Worth the Cost?

Absolutely. For a few hundred dollars, you can protect thousands of dollars in equipment. Plus, it adds value to your home and may lower your insurance risk.
