Why Protect at the Panel

A power strip with surge protection only guards whatever's plugged into it. A whole-house surge protector installs at your main panel and guards everything connected to your home's electrical system at once — your HVAC system, major appliances, and anything else wired in, not just what happens to be plugged into a protected outlet. It's a one-time installation that keeps working in the background, and it's one of the more cost-effective ways to protect the expensive equipment already in your home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the same as a power strip surge protector?

No — a power strip only protects what's plugged into it. A whole-house unit protects everything wired to your panel.

Will it protect my home from a direct lightning strike?

No surge protector can guarantee protection against a direct strike, but it significantly reduces damage from the voltage spikes that cause most surge-related damage, including nearby strikes and utility-side surges.

How long does installation take?

Most installations are completed in under a couple of hours.
