How Does Whole Home Surge Protection Work?

Not to be confused with lightning or current protection systems, a whole-home surge protector attaches to your electric panel, managing the voltage in your home’s electrical system by safely dispersing excess voltage away from your home if it detects voltage above a certain threshold. In practice, this means that every piece of equipment, device, and electrical fixture are protected from external and internal surges without the need for point-of-use surge protection.

Benefits of Whole Home Surge Protection?

A whole-home surge protector is just that. It protects anything plugged into your home’s electrical system natively, without the need for point-of-use protectors (commonly seen as surge protection strips or outlets). As a primary line of defense, this is the basic level of protection all homes should have and is now required by code in all new construction. When used in combination with point-of-use surge protection, SPDs can eliminate the threat of voltage surges to your expensive devices and equipment.

Do You Have to Update Whole Home Surge Protection?

Wear and tear will occur on any surge protector through use. This means that over time it will lose its effectiveness to protect your home. The lifespan of whole-home SPDs is typically three to five years depending on how often your home experiences surges. Regardless, we always recommend you check your surge protector for proper operation at least once a year.

What Others Say

    
 
 
       I had a tree come down on the electric service between my house and the pole which not only severed the wire but also destroyed the service on the side of the house. I called Heritage and they dispatched Erik to assist me. He was prompt, courteous, and very knowledgeable, and repaired the damage quickly. Very satisfied, will call again if I need service in the future!

      Justin was a gem. Fixed what others thought was too complicated (it was not). Reviewed other work that I need done- educated me on some safety features. Will use Heritage with no hesitation and hopefully Justin will do all my electrical work!

      Called Saturday afternoon for an appointment for a leaky toilet in a rental property. Not an emergency, so he came out promptly Monday morning as agreed, gave a quick diagnosis, took care of the problem quickly. Heritage is pricey, but do you know how long it can take to get most plumbers to your door? Prompt service meant a lot of value-add in this situation.
