Local Whole-Home Surge Protection Help

Frequently asked questions
Whole-Home Surge Protection FAQs
What does whole-home surge protection do?
It helps divert or limit certain transient voltage surges before they reach connected equipment.
Does it protect against every lightning strike?
No. No device can guarantee protection from every direct or severe lightning event.
Where is the surge protector installed?
Many systems are installed at or near the main electrical panel, depending on the equipment and electrical system.
Do I still need plug-in surge strips?
Layered protection may include both service-level and point-of-use devices, depending on the equipment and risk.
How long does a surge protector last?
Service life varies based on product, surge exposure, electrical conditions, and manufacturer specifications.
Can it be installed during a panel upgrade?
Often, yes. The electrician can evaluate compatibility and available panel space.
