Whole-Home Surge Protection

Power surges can enter a home through the utility line, a lightning event nearby, or even the cycling of large appliances. A whole-home surge protection device is installed at the panel to intercept these voltage spikes before they reach the wiring and outlets feeding your electronics, appliances, and HVAC equipment.

How It Fits Into Your Panel

Panel-Level Placement — The device is installed at the circuit breaker panel, giving it a direct path to intercept surges before they spread through the home's wiring.
Load Center Compatibility — Panels and load centers sized for modern demands provide the foundation surge protection is built on.

When Homeowners Consider It

Frequent Storms or Outages — Areas prone to lightning or grid fluctuations see more voltage irregularities reaching the home.
Sensitive Electronics — Homes with computers, smart lighting controls, or connected appliances often want a layer of protection at the source.
Panel Upgrades or Rewiring — Surge protection is commonly added when a panel is being replaced or a home is being rewired.

If you're weighing whole-home surge protection alongside a panel upgrade or rewiring project, it helps to look at your electrical system as a whole before deciding where to start.
