Why Should I Install a Whole-House Surge Protector?

What Does a Whole-House Surge Protector Do?
A whole-house surge protector acts as the first line of defense against damaging voltage spikes. Unlike power strips with basic surge protection that only protect individual devices, a surge protector for the whole house is installed directly at your electrical panel. It safeguards your entire electrical system by redirecting excess voltage safely to the ground before it can reach your home’s wiring or connected devices.
