What Is Whole-Home Surge Protection?
Whole-home surge protection is installed at your electrical panel and defends every circuit in your home from sudden voltage spikes. Unlike basic power strips, panel-mounted surge protection protects major appliances, hardwired equipment, and built-in systems like HVAC units, water heaters, and smart home technology.
Power surges can occur from lightning strikes, power grid switching, downed lines, or even large appliances cycling on and off. Over time, even small repeated surges can damage electronics and shorten equipment lifespan.
