Frequently Asked Questions
How does a whole-house surge protector work?
It installs at your main panel and diverts excess voltage to ground before it reaches your devices.
Do I still need power strips?
A whole-house protector handles large surges. Power strips add a second layer of protection for sensitive electronics.
How long does installation take?
Most installations are completed in about 1 hour.
Layered surge protection helps defend the equipment used every day
Surges can enter through utility power or be created inside a property when motors and other loads switch. Panel-level protection is an important layer, but grounding, bonding and point-of-use protection also matter.

Northeast Florida note: Northeast Florida's storm activity makes surge planning especially relevant. No device can guarantee protection from every lightning event, so realistic expectations and layered protection matter.
