Whole Home Surge Protection

As our homes become increasingly dependent on electronic devices, protecting these devices from power surges has become more important than ever. At Swartz Green Electric, our whole-home surge protection systems are designed to provide comprehensive protection for your entire home, not just individual devices. Whole-home surge protection devices are designed to combat damage by reducing the voltage of the electricity that is distributed throughout your home to a safe level.

What Are Whole Home Surge Protectors?

Electrical surges are spikes in electricity that can enter your home through your electrical system and damage your electrical appliances. While many surges are caused by situations that occur outside of your home – such as grid fluctuations, lightning storms, or downed power lines – they can also be caused by larger appliances turning on and off within your home. Over time, these surges, which are quite common, can have a serious negative impact on your electrical appliances, causing damage and even premature failure.

Whole-home surge protection devices are designed to combat this problem by reducing the voltage of the electricity that is distributed throughout your home to a safe level. These devices are hardwired into your home’s electrical panel. They detect power surges and divert any extra electricity into ground wiring, effectively protecting your electronics – including computers, televisions, HVAC systems, refrigerators, and more – from damage.
