10 FAQs About Whole-Home Surge Protection

1. How does a panel-integrated surge protector work? It sits at your breaker panel and channels excess voltage safely to ground before it flows through your home’s circuits.
   
2. Will it protect against direct lightning strikes? No device can handle a direct strike, but it will defend against the massive voltage rise that travels through utility lines during nearby strikes.
3. Do I still need point-of-use surge strips? You can use them for added protection on especially sensitive gear, but the panel unit handles the vast majority of surges.
   
4. How do I know if my surge protector needs replacing? Most have a status indicator light; if it’s off or flashing, it’s time for a replacement module.
5. Can you install this in any existing panel? Yes—we can retrofit most panels, even older models, with a UL-listed surge protector designed for your amperage.
6. Will it trip my breakers? No. Surge protectors remain idle until they absorb a spike, then automatically reset without interrupting normal power.
7. How long does installation take? Typically 30–60 minutes for most homes, with only a brief power interruption while we mount and wire the device.
8. Does it require maintenance? Just an annual visual check of the status light during your regular electrical inspection.
9. Can I combine it with a generator? Absolutely—a surge protector at the panel protects your home whether you’re on utility power or running backup generation.
10. Is professional installation necessary? For safety, code compliance, and warranty validity, I always recommend a licensed electrician install your surge protection.
