Massachusetts Whole Surge Protection | JustCallHeritage.com

We have a lot of electrical needs in today’s modern world. From household appliances to entertainment systems, computers, and more, we have a lot tied into our home’s electricity. However, without the proper level of surge protection, you could be risking all these things to severe damage or needing to replace them much sooner than you should.

Even if you’ve never experienced a surge coming into your home before, over 80% of residential voltage surges are generated within your own home and they happen more often than you’d think. This is why Heritage Home Service urges all of our Massachusetts customers to protect their homes through the use of a whole-home surge protection device or SPD for short.

FAQs

  • Massachusetts Whole Home Surge Protection Services

    Our dedicated electrical team at Heritage are surge protection experts. Our team will arrive at your door and help you design a surge protection system that’s right for your home and needs.

  • 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 electrical 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.

  • What are the Benefits of Whole Home Surge Protection?

    A whole-home surge protectoat Are the hr 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.

We worked with James and if possible we will be requesting he come back for future visits! The service was amazing, the price was reasonable, and scheduling was super easy. They were able to show up within 24hrs of requesting their help, and James was even early to the appointment! I can’t say enough good things about this company, they’ll definitely be our go to moving forward.

James was fantastic with all the work he did on our house. We had him and Carter (who was also amazing) install some lights in our 1870s farmhouse. They started with the work downstairs which was adding in new lights in the kitchen, living room, and our bedroom downstairs. On top of the light additions they also fixed some other electrical issues we found during inspection and they installed new smoke and CO detectors. The work was amazing. We then had James and Carter come back to install lights in the 4 bedrooms upstairs. 2 of those bedrooms had never had lights before. They did a fantastic job. Highly recommend them to anyone. They respond very fast and the turnaround time is amazing.

Alex is a true professional! He diagnosed my problem with my Bosch Furnace and fixed. Additionally, he found dirty flame rod and coil that Pine State Services supposedly cleaned in the annual service in June, however, since it had not run since then I have serious questions about that “service”. Highly recommend Heritage Home Service and Alex!

Jimmy was on time, explained everything clearly, advised me about best practices with the system, what to look out for, explained how my system was looking, and got it done well. Refreshingly awesome to have someone enter your home who only wants to do good work, treat people well, and be treated the same. I hope Gelinas is doing well by this guy, the combi-boiler guru.

Our kitchen sink began to leak all under the cabinet last night. We got it cleaned up enough to be okay through the night, but as soon as morning came around, we knew we would need a plumber ASAP. So, we looked up plumbers in our area on Angi. Heritage was the first listing that came up. They answered the phone on the first ring, and before we knew it, Noah was at our house. We were amazed at how quickly we were able to get an appointment. He was knowledgeable, very polite and friendly, and he worked quickly and efficiently. He was everything we could hope for. Our new kitchen faucet is beautiful, nothing leaks in the cabinet underneath, and he even fixed our bathroom toilet lickety-split, too. Even better, we were able to schedule Heritage to come tomorrow to look at an outdoor outlet that we’re having trouble with. We are so pleased with everything. We would highly recommend this company to anyone in need of a plumber or the other services Heritage provides. Thank you, Noah, and thank you, Heritage!

Technician George Fiske instructed us on all the things we needed to know about maintenance and functioning of the new to us gas furnace (which is located in the attic). We just moved into this condo and needed this guidance….he also did the same with our central AC, hot water heater and even our Nest thermostat! Very very helpful and George was terrific. Will call Heritage for the plumbing issues we need to address also!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a whole-house surge protector and how does it work?

    A whole-house surge protector is installed at your main electrical panel and acts as a first line of defense against voltage spikes entering your home through the utility line. It diverts excess voltage safely to the ground, protecting all of your connected appliances, electronics, and wiring from damage.

  • Why do I need surge protection beyond a power strip?

    Power strips offer limited protection for individual devices, but they cannot stop large surges caused by lightning strikes or utility grid fluctuations from entering your home’s wiring. A whole-house surge protector installed by Heritage safeguards your entire electrical system, including hardwired appliances like HVAC systems and major kitchen appliances.

  • How common are power surges in Massachusetts?

    Power surges are more common than most homeowners realize — they can occur dozens of times per day from appliances cycling on and off, utility grid switching, and nearby construction. Massachusetts also experiences frequent thunderstorms and nor’easters that increase the risk of large, damaging external surges.

  • How long does a whole-house surge protector last?

    Most whole-house surge protectors last between 3 and 5 years depending on the frequency and severity of surges in your area. Heritage recommends periodic inspections to verify your surge protector is still functioning properly, as these devices absorb energy over time and eventually need replacement.

  • Can Heritage install surge protection for my specific equipment?

    Absolutely. In addition to whole-house surge protectors, Heritage can install point-of-use surge protection for sensitive and high-value equipment such as home theater systems, computers, and smart home hubs. Layering whole-house and point-of-use protection provides the most comprehensive defense against surges.
