Protection and resilience
Layered Surge Protection Starts at the Panel
Modern homes and businesses contain controls in HVAC equipment, appliances, chargers, office systems, entertainment equipment, and lighting. A panel-mounted surge protective device limits many incoming transient events before they spread through branch circuits.
The device must match the electrical system and be installed with attention to panel compatibility, conductor routing, grounding and bonding conditions, status indicators, and future replacement. Sensitive plug-in equipment may still benefit from point-of-use protection.

Whole-Home Surge Protection FAQs
Surge Protection Questions, Answered
These answers cover common questions about whole-home surge protection. The property and equipment determine the final scope.
All electrical FAQsDoes whole-home surge protection stop lightning?
No device can guarantee protection from every lightning event. It is one part of layered protection against many transient-voltage events.
Do I still need plug-in protectors?
Sensitive electronics can benefit from layered protection. A panel device and quality point-of-use protection serve different positions in the system.
How do I know the device is working?
Most units include status indicators. The electrician will show you what normal status looks like and when the unit may require replacement.
Will a whole-home surge protector protect internet and cable lines?
Not by itself. Power, data, coaxial, and other connected paths may need coordinated protection suited to each system.
Does a surge protector require an unused breaker position?
Many panel-mounted devices use a dedicated connection, but equipment designs vary. The panel must be inspected for compatibility and a correct installation method.
