Whole House Surge Protection Installation

Whole House Surge Protection in Raleigh

Technology has come a long way since bulky power strips with built-in surge protectors, and the goal of whole house surge protection is much more nuanced than guarding against lightening strikes. We can install a surge protection device to a breaker on your electrical panel to help mitigate power fluctuations at the panel, not the outlet.

How Whole House Surge Protection Works

Demand on your electrical system today is much higher than it was even 20 years ago, with multiple computers, mobile devices, smart devices, HD televisions, large and small appliances, security systems, and more. Whole house surge protection minimizes the impact of power surges and fluctuations that can affect performance and cause costly downtime and damage.

For example, if your HVAC system runs a little faster than it should when it first kicks in, whole house surge protection will prevent this kind of fluctuation from affecting the rest of your electrical system. While no device can prevent a lightning strike, whole house surge protection can dramatically reduce damage.

Frequently Asked Questions about Home Surge Protection

How much does it cost to install a whole house surge protection and how long does it take??

The typical home in the Raleigh area is approximately 2500 square feet. For a home of that size, the cost of a whole home surge protection installation is 1/10th the cost of a new HVAC system. The installation takes about 4 hours unless your home requires additional upgrades to the electrical panel or higher-capacity protection, which will raise the cost.
