Whole home surge protection stops surges from ruining the stuff you have plugged into your home. An electrical surge is a high voltage electrical event that travels through your AC power cable lines, potentially damaging home electronics and appliances.
Home electrical surges are happening more often due to energy spikes from an overloaded utility grid, aging home appliances, home power sources like generators or solar, and not to mention that thing called lightning. Though nothing can truly stop lightning from causing havoc during a strike. The rest of the more common surges are completely manageable.
Electricians can install this device right inside your main electrical panel. This way it stops surges from spreading into your home.
Luckily this is a home warranty that does not have a monthly payment. It is a one time payment that tends to average $500 or less. Depending on if you have extra space inside your existing electrical panel or not. That does not mean they last forever. it is recommended to replace them whenever a large surge has happened or if it is five years old.
Every new home is being built with whole home surge protection already installed. This is because it is part of the new electrical safety code standard and, also the rising demand on the utility grid and energy spikes that is caused by it.
