  • Your electrician will assess your current panel setup, verify adequate grounding, and determine the appropriate surge protection device for your home's voltage and amperage.

  • The device connects directly to your main service conductors and ground system. Modern surge protectors include visual indicators that show when the unit functions properly and alert you if protection becomes compromised. Surge protection works in layers. Your whole home surge protector handles large surges from external sources and major internal equipment. Point-of-use surge protectors at individual outlets provide additional defense for sensitive electronics. This layered approach offers the most comprehensive protection strategy.

  • The lifespan of a whole home surge protector typically ranges from five to ten years under normal conditions. Devices that absorb major surge events may need earlier replacement. Many units include indicator lights or audible alarms that signal when the protection capacity has been depleted, and replacement is necessary. We will do a quick test to make sure everything is working before we complete your surge protection installation in Cary.
