Will whole-home surge protection prevent all damage from a direct lightning strike?

A direct lightning strike to your home is an extreme electrical event that can cause damage beyond what any surge protective device is designed to handle. Whole-home surge protection significantly reduces the damage from direct strikes but cannot guarantee complete protection from a direct hit. Its most important function is protecting against the much more common indirect strike and utility-line surge scenarios.

Does whole-home surge protection replace my power strip surge protectors?

No. Power strip protectors and whole-home panel protection work best together as a layered strategy. The panel device handles the major surge energy; the point-of-use device handles residual surges at sensitive electronics. You do not need to remove your existing power strip protectors after installing whole-home protection.

How long does a whole-home surge protective device last?

Most quality devices are rated for a certain number of joules of surge absorption over their lifetime. After absorbing a major surge event, some devices may need to be replaced. We can inspect the device condition during routine service visits.

Can you install surge protection in my home without also doing a panel upgrade?

Yes. If your panel is in good condition with adequate capacity, a whole-home surge device can be installed as a standalone project.

Does surge protection affect my homeowner’s insurance?

Some homeowner’s insurance policies offer premium reductions for homes with whole-home surge protection. Check with your insurance provider.

Is whole-home surge protection required by code?

In some new construction contexts, yes. For existing homes, it is not universally required but may be recommended or required as part of specific projects. Regardless of code requirements, it is a strongly recommended addition for every Grand Strand property.
