What Is Whole-Home Surge Protection?

Whole-home surge protection is a system that safeguards your electrical devices and appliances from sudden voltage spikes. These surges can be caused by lightning strikes, power outages, or fluctuations in the electrical grid. A surge protector installed at your main electrical panel helps prevent costly damage to your home’s electronics and wiring.

Why Do I Need Whole-Home Surge Protection?

Power surges can damage or shorten the lifespan of expensive electronics, appliances, and HVAC systems. A whole-home surge protector acts as the first line of defense, diverting excess voltage away from your home’s wiring. This added layer of protection reduces the risk of costly repairs and replacements.

What Causes Power Surges in a Home?

Power surges can be triggered by lightning strikes, utility grid fluctuations, or large appliances cycling on and off. Internal power surges from devices like refrigerators, air conditioners, and washers can also wear down electrical components over time. Whole-home surge protection helps prevent these common sources of electrical damage.

How Does a Whole-Home Surge Protector Work?

A whole-home surge protector is installed at the main electrical panel and monitors incoming electricity. When it detects a spike in voltage, it diverts the excess energy away from your home’s wiring, preventing damage to connected devices. This protection helps safeguard everything from computers and televisions to HVAC systems and kitchen appliances.

Can Whole-Home Surge Protection Prevent Lightning Damage?

While no system can completely prevent lightning damage, whole-home surge protection significantly reduces the risk. It helps prevent high-voltage surges from reaching your home’s electrical system. For additional protection, using plug-in surge protectors with sensitive electronics is recommended.

What’s the Difference Between Whole-Home and Power Strip Surge Protectors?

Power strip surge protectors provide localized protection for specific devices, while whole-home surge protection safeguards your entire electrical system. Whole-home surge protectors defend against larger surges from external sources, while power strips are a secondary line of defense. Using both together offers the best protection.

How Long Does a Whole-Home Surge Protector Last?

Most whole-home surge protectors last between 5-10 years, depending on the number of surges they absorb. Some models have indicator lights or alarms to signal when they need replacement. Regular inspections by an electrician can ensure your surge protector is still providing adequate protection.

Should I Hire a Professional to Install Whole-Home Surge Protection?

Yes, whole-home surge protectors must be installed at your main electrical panel, which requires professional wiring and setup. An electrician ensures the system is correctly installed and meets electrical code requirements. Professional installation guarantees that your home is fully protected against power surges.

Roy’s installed a new electrical panel and re-did all the wires coming into the box. We had a dedicated plug set up for the sump pump as the precious owner had it plugged into a power strip. They added a GFI outlet in the garage and plug for the garage door opener. Precious owner had it rigged with an extension cord. We had a team of 3 men from Roy’s, Noah, Nick and Stephen who were professional and did a great job. Still more things to be done.

Great customer service end-to-end. When needing a quote, a technician came out immediately to review the system and advise my options. The price offered was much more competitive than other companies. The team did a great job installing my furnace and air conditioner system the next day and were very professional. Would highly recommend.
