Surge Protection FAQs in Cape Coral, FL
What is a whole-home surge protector?
A whole-home surge protector is a device installed directly at your electrical panel to protect your entire home from voltage spikes caused by power surges, lightning strikes, or internal electrical disruptions.
Why should I install whole-home surge protection?
It helps protect sensitive electronics, appliances, HVAC equipment, and even your home’s wiring from damage caused by electrical surges—extending their lifespan and reducing the risk of costly replacements or electrical fires.
Do power strips offer the same protection?
No. Power strips only protect devices plugged directly into them and often lack the capacity to stop large or repeated surges. Whole-home surge protection shields all circuits and offers much more reliable defense.
Can surge protection help prevent electrical fires?
Yes. By stabilizing voltage and preventing high-energy surges from overheating wires or devices, whole-home surge protectors help reduce the risk of fire from electrical faults.
Does whole-house surge protection affect insurance?
Some homeowner’s insurance providers offer discounts for surge protection systems, as they reduce the risk of property damage. Check with your provider to see if you qualify.
Is professional installation required?
Yes. Surge protectors must be installed at the main panel and require a licensed electrician to ensure code compliance and maximum safety.
