Whole-Home Surge Protection

Standard plug-in surge protectors can help protect individual devices, but they do not provide complete protection for everything connected to your home's electrical system.
A whole-home surge protector is installed at the electrical panel to help divert excess voltage before it can travel throughout your home.
Whole-home surge protection can help protect:
* Standby generators* HVAC systems and air conditioners* Refrigerators and freezers* Televisions and entertainment systems* Computers and networking equipment* Smart home equipment* Appliances* Garage door openers* Pool and spa equipment * Other connected electrical devices

Why Surge Protection Matters for Standby Generators
Your generator is designed to provide reliable backup power when utility power goes out. However, electrical surges can still occur when utility power is restored, during generator operation, or as large electrical loads switch on and off.
Adding surge protection to your electrical system can help reduce the risk of damage to your generator and connected equipment.
A properly installed surge protection system can be an important part of protecting your investment and keeping your backup power system ready when you need it most.

What Can Cause a Power Surge?
Power Surges enter your home in multiple ways and from several sources, including:
Lightning
A nearby lightning strike can send a powerful electrical surge through utility lines into home, office or any building.
Lightning can even enter a structure on cable lines, phone lines, satellite, tree roots to rebar in concrete and even water & drain lines.
Utility power fluctuations
Problems with the electrical grid, power restoration, or utility equipment can create voltage spikes.
Electrical Equipment
Large motors, HVAC systems, pumps, and other electrical equipment can create smaller surges when they turn on and off.
Generator Transfer & Power Restoration
The transition between utility power and generator power—and the restoration of utility power—can create electrical events that may affect sensitive equipment.
Signs You May Need Surge Protection
You may want to consider whole-home surge protection if:
* You have a standby generator.* Your home contains expensive electronics.* You have smart home or home automation equipment.* You live in an area prone to thunderstorms.* You have experienced unexplained equipment failures.* Your HVAC, pool, or other major electrical equipment is expensive to replace.* You want an additional layer of protection for your home's electrical system.
