What Is a Whole-Home Surge Protector?

Unlike a standard power strip surge protector, a whole-home surge protector is installed directly at your electrical panel. It intercepts voltage spikes before they reach any outlet in your house. This means every device, appliance, and system in your Louisville and Southern Indiana home is protected simultaneously.

What Causes Power Surges?

Many people think surges only come from lightning. But the truth is, most surges originate inside your home. Common causes include:

Large appliances cycling on and off, HVAC systems starting up, faulty wiring or electrical faults, utility grid switching, and lightning strikes near your home.

What Is at Risk Without Surge Protection?

Without whole-home protection, a single surge can damage or destroy TVs, computers, smart home systems, refrigerators, washers, dryers, and HVAC equipment. The cost of replacing these items far outweighs the cost of installation.
