What is a Whole Home Surge Protector? And why do you need one?

A surge protector is a specialized device created to prevent power surges from damaging electrical equipment. They work by only allowing a certain amount of electricity through, rerouting any excess power, and preventing a potential surge. Surge protectors come in a variety of sizes, depending on what they are protecting. Many homeowners opt to use whole-home surge protectors to combat large and potentially dangerous surges from damaging their appliances and power supply.

A whole home surge protector provides an important layer of defense against power surges caused by lightning, though no system can guarantee 100% protection from a direct strike. These devices are highly effective at protecting your appliances and electronics from the voltage spikes that often travel through power lines during storms. For the best protection, we recommend combining whole home surge protection with quality grounding and individual surge protectors for sensitive electronics.
While whole home surge protectors defend against large surges entering through your electrical panel, using point-of-use surge protectors for sensitive electronics like computers and entertainment systems provides an additional layer of protection. Think of it as a two-tier defense system where the whole home unit stops major surges while plug-in protectors handle smaller fluctuations. Our technicians can advise you on the best comprehensive protection strategy for your home.
Most whole home surge protectors last between 3 to 5 years, though this can vary based on how many surges they’ve absorbed and the quality of the device. Many units have indicator lights that show when they’re still functioning properly. Our TMS team can inspect your surge protector during routine electrical service visits to ensure it’s still providing adequate protection for your home.
