Do You Need Whole-Home Surge Protection?
A power surge happens when there’s a sudden spike in electrical voltage. Surges can overheat wiring, damage outlets, and destroy anything plugged in, from TVs to refrigerators. They’re often caused by lightning, downed lines, or even everyday appliance use.
Without a whole-home surge protector, your home’s electrical system and devices are left vulnerable. Signs you might need whole-home surge protection include:
- Frequent power outages: Regular outages can lead to repeated surges that wear down your electronics over time.
- Flickering or dimming lights: This issue may indicate unstable voltage or small surges in your system.
- Burnt-out appliances or electronics: Sudden device failures could result from power spikes.
- Tripped breakers: If your breakers trip without an apparent reason, hidden surges might be to blame.
- New high-end electronics or systems: Do you own smart TVs, gaming setups, or HVAC systems? A whole-home surge protector helps keep them safe.
- Storm-prone areas: Homes in areas with frequent lightning or power grid issues are more vulnerable to surges.

Whole-Home Surge Protection Installation
Installing whole-home surge protection is one of the easiest ways to keep your home safe from unexpected power surges. A sudden surge can damage your appliances, electronics, and HVAC system in seconds. That’s why we install whole-home surge protectors at your electrical panel, giving your entire home a strong layer of protection.
It’s a simple upgrade that can save you a lot of stress and money down the line. The three main types of surge protectors are:
- Panel-mounted surge protectors: Installed at your main electrical panel, these provide strong, whole-home protection against incoming surges.
- Point-of-use surge protectors: These devices are common in many homes. They’re connected near the panel and help guard against internal and external surges.
- Outlet surge protectors: These are designed to protect individual appliances or devices and are plugged directly into wall outlets.

Whole-Home Surge Protection FAQs
Do I really need whole-home surge protection?
Yes, whole-home surge protectors offer a first line of defense, protecting your entire home from external and internal surges.
Will a plug-in surge strip do the same thing?
Plug-in power strips offer limited protection for individual devices, but they can’t stop large surges that enter your main power line. Whole-home protection is much more comprehensive.
How long do surge protectors last?
Most whole-home surge protectors last five to 10 years, depending on the number and intensity of surges they’ve absorbed. Some include indicator lights to show when they need replacement.
Can I install a surge protector myself?
A licensed electrician must install whole-home surge protectors since they connect directly to your home’s electrical panel.
