Surge Protection Device

Whole House Surge Protection

What causes these Surges?

Whole House Surge Protection Devices have recently become a requirement in the electrical industry and a must-have for homeowners. The average home has appliances and electronics worth over $25,000, and susceptible to the damages of external or internal surges. What can cause a surge? Well, surges can generate from within your home or miles away on the utility grid. Externally, surges can occur from a downed power line, lightning strike, or utility transfer. And finally, internally, surges can happen simply by motors turning on and off like your Fridge, Garage door opener, or your HVAC Unit. 
 

Having a Surge Protection Device is a Must

We depend so much on our electronics and appliances today but fail to realize how many computer chips and mini electrical components lay within. As a result, manufacturers are now requiring Surge Protection Devices, for example, some EV Chargers, HVAC, and lighting systems. Surge protection devices come with their own warranties in case of failure that ranges from $10,000 up to $75,000 in coverage. Furthermore, unless your home was built after 2020, chances are your home does not have one. 

*Electrical Panels installed after 2020 require a Surge Protection Device Installed per NEC (National Electrical Code)
