Whole-Home Surge Protection

The Missing Piece in a Complete Lightning Protection System

Lightning fire damage compared with a home protected by lightning and surge protection

When most homeowners think about lightning protection, they picture metal rods on the roof safely directing a lightning strike into the ground. While that is an important part of a properly designed lightning protection system, it is not the only protection your home needs.

A lightning protection system helps protect the structure of your home from a direct lightning strike. A whole-home surge protector helps protect the electrical systems and connected devices inside your home from dangerous power surges.

For the best protection, these two systems should work together.

  • Ensures your family's safety against unpredictable and dangerous weather

  • Avoids costly repairs and disruption to your family's life and work

  • Boosts your home's value by adding additional security to your home

  • Planning and saving for the future by protecting your valuable assets

What Is a Surge Protector?

A surge protector is a device designed to limit sudden increases in electrical voltage. These sudden voltage spikes are called power surges. They can travel through your home’s electrical wiring, cable lines, phone lines, internet equipment, security systems, appliances, and smart-home devices.

A small plug-in surge strip may help protect one television or computer, but it does not protect the entire home. A whole-home surge protector is installed at the main electrical panel and helps reduce damaging voltage spikes before they spread throughout the house.

Why Power Surges Happen

  • Nearby lightning strikes

  • Utility grid switching

  • Downed power lines

  • Large appliances cycling on and off

  • Electrical issues inside the home

  • Storm-related power interruptions

Why Surge Protection Matters With a Lightning Protection System?

A Perfect Pair

A professionally installed lightning protection system is designed to give lightning a safe path to the ground. This helps reduce the risk of fire, structural damage, and dangerous side flashes.

However, lightning energy can still create electrical surges that affect wiring, electronics, and low-voltage systems. That is why surge protection is a critical part of a complete storm protection plan.

When paired with a lightning protection system, surge protection helps defend:

  • Electrical panels

  • HVAC systems

  • Refrigerators and appliances

  • Televisions and entertainment systems

  • Computers and home office equipment

  • Security cameras and alarm systems

  • Smart-home technology

  • Garage door openers

  • Internet routers and Wi-Fi equipment

  • Pool equipment and outdoor electrical systems
