Why Whole-Home Surge Protection Matters in Claremore, OKLAHOMA

I’m Terry Davis, Master Electrician at TL Davis Electric & Design, and I’ve spent decades watching Claremore’s spring lightning shows light up our skies—what you don’t see is the damage those surges can do the next morning. When a bolt strikes nearby, that raw power can sneak through the lines and fry everything from your fridge to your fancy home theater. That’s why I always recommend a whole-home, panel-mounted surge protector: it stands guard at the heart of your electrical system, so every outlet and appliance stays safe when nature decides to throw a voltage curveball.

10 FAQs About Whole-Home Surge Protection

1. How does a panel-mounted surge protector differ from a power strip?
A power strip only guards its own outlets. A panel-mounted unit protects every circuit right at the breaker box.
2. Will it protect my refrigerator during a thunderstorm in Claremore?
Absolutely. It diverts dangerous voltage away before it ever reaches the fridge.
3. Do I need to replace my protector after a big surge?
Most have an indicator light—if it’s gone out, yes. Replacement is quick and inexpensive.
4. Can I install it myself?
For safety and code compliance, always hire a licensed electrician like me.
5. How long does installation take?
Usually 30–60 minutes, depending on your panel’s layout.
6. Will it trip my breakers?
No. It works silently until it absorbs a spike, then resets itself without interrupting power.
7. Does it handle smaller surges from switching equipment?
Yes—every little spike from motors, compressors, or grid switching is absorbed.
8. What maintenance is required?
Just an annual check of the indicator light during your regular electrical inspection.
9. Can I add it to an older home’s panel?
Definitely—whether your panel is 10 or 30 years old, we can retrofit protection.
10. Is there a warranty on the devices I’m protecting?
Most units include insurance-backed protection for connected equipment, often up to $100,000.
