Why Power Strips Are Not Enough
Plug in strips only clamp what passes through them, and most fail silently after a few events. A whole home surge protective device installs at the panel and clamps surges before they reach any circuit, which is why current electrical code now requires one on new and upgraded services.
Layering still helps: the panel device takes the big hits, and point of use protectors mop up for sensitive electronics.
What It Protects
- EV chargers, which are expensive and directly wired to the panel
- HVAC equipment, heat pumps, and variable speed motors
- Kitchen appliances, washers, and dryers with electronic controls
- TVs, computers, networking gear, and smart home devices
- LED lighting and dimmers
Installed Right, In About An Hour
We install listed type 2 surge protective devices sized to your service, mounted at or in the panel with the short lead lengths that make them actually work. Most installs are done in about an hour, and it pairs naturally with a panel upgrade or an EV charger install while we are already in the panel.
