How does a whole home surge protector work? Simply put, whole-home surge protectors help prevent your home’s appliances and electronics from unnecessary damage from electrical spikes. These devices, when installed properly by a licensed electrician, are typically connected to your home’s electrical panel. Therefore, if a power surge occurs, a whole-home surge protector will keep harmful electrical currents from damaging your home’s devices.
Why do I Need a Whole Home Surge Protector?
Although most homeowners worry about lightning, the most damage comes from your utility company switching grids and managing the electrical load. There are small everyday examples of a shock to your home’s electrical system. These events happening throughout the day result in wear and tear on your home’s appliances over time.
- Saves You Money
Damage caused by electrical spikes can be thousands of dollars and a whole-home surge protector keeps your home safe. The device will guard against electrical spikes, such as from lightning strikes and the smaller, everyday ones. It prevents the damage they do over time, helping your devices last longer, and saving you money. - Protects your Appliances
If you have an entertainment or gaming setup or even a full work-from-home setup, a whole home surge protector can protect these things from being destroyed by an electrical blast. If an appliance in your home sends a surge through a circuit it shares, those other outlets could be damaged. This is a major reason why you shouldn’t rely only on surge protectors that are located just at the point of use. A layered protection system is connected directly to your electrical panel and connects everything. - Prevents damage to your entire electrical system
This device will safeguard every outlet in your home. It is one hundred percent likely that AT LEAST one of these benefits will prove to show that there are many benefits to surge protectors. We are simply here to show you why this is a good investment.
