Expect the Unexpected
Whole Home Surge Protectors

Whole home surge protectors are devices that are installed directly into your home’s electrical panel to protect against power surges that can damage electronic devices and appliances. These surges can occur from lightning strikes, utility company fluctuations, or even everyday events such as turning on a large appliance.

By installing a whole home surge protector, you can ensure that all of your electronics are shielded from potentially harmful power surges, saving you money in the long run by preventing the need for costly repairs or replacements.

What is a Surge Protector?

Not only do whole home surge protectors protect your electronic devices, but they also provide assurance that your home and its contents are safe from the unpredictable nature of power surges. These devices work by diverting excess voltage away from your electronics, safely grounding it and preventing any damage from occurring.

Whole home surge protection devices are a more convenient option than individual surge protectors as they provide comprehensive protection for all of your electrical devices without the need for multiple outlets and power strips. Overall, investing in a whole home surge protector is a wise decision to safeguard your home from frequent power surges and ensure the longevity of your valuable devices and systems.

Your Home Surge Protection FAQs

No! You should avoid plugging multiple power strips or surge protectors into one another. Single-outlet surge protectors are designed with specific wattages in mind and plugging them into each other can overload the wattage capacity of the protector. Overloading a surge protector can render it ineffective in protecting against power surges, potentially resulting in damage to electronics or fires.
No, you should only connect surge protectors directly to wall outlets. “Daisy chaining,” or plugging single-outlet surge protectors into extension cords or other surge protectors, can overload the devices and cause hazardous conditions, including electrocution. Additionally, this can void the NRTL listing and manufacturer’s warranty.

If you need more outlets or want to install a whole-home surge protector, reach out to Way’s Electric to arrange your service appointment.

The installation process is as follows:

  1. Turn off the power
  2. Prepare the breaker panel or install a separate sub-panel
  3. Mount the surge protection device
  4. Connect the wires, properly grounding and securing them
  5. Reassemble the electrical panel
  6. Test for functionality and safety

Hiring a professional electrician to do this work is always safer and smarter than learning how to install a whole home surge protector yourself. The Way’s Electric team is trained to prevent and circumnavigate any issues for better end results. Contact us today to get started.
