Surge protector vs whole-home surge protection?
Let’s compare the right protection level.
What are you trying to protect?
FAQs
▶What is whole-home surge protection?
Whole-home surge protection is installed at the electrical panel to help reduce surge impact before it reaches equipment and devices in the home.
▶Do plug-in surge protectors still help?
Yes. Plug-in surge protectors can still be useful for individual electronics, especially as part of a layered approach.
▶Does whole-home surge protection replace power strips?
Not always. Many homeowners use whole-home surge protection together with quality plug-in protection for sensitive electronics.
▶What should I protect from surges?
Common concerns include HVAC equipment, appliances, computers, TVs, networking equipment, generators, and other electronics.
▶When should I ask about whole-home surge protection?
Ask about it if you have expensive equipment, frequent storms, power events, a generator, or want broader protection at the panel.
