Power surge??? What is that?
Your home runs on a very specific amount of electricity. A power surge is when the power in your home is above safe levels.
What can a power surge do to my house?
When your home has a power surge happen to it, the result can be dangerous. Electronic devices are easily damaged by having to much electricity pumped into them and can make them fire hazards. A burnt plastic smell that you cannot seem to find but magically seems to dissipate can be a clue that your house electricity spiked high for a short time. Power surges can happen any time... even if you are not using any power at all.

What causes power to surge into my home?
Lightening strikes, power company connection, and equipment inside your home. Lightening strike is the most obvious reason and also the most damaging. Power company connection is from equipment malfunctioning and sending too much power to you. Power company connection also can be from a tree limb falling on the power lines, connecting lines in a configuration that was never intended to happen. The power line connection to your home is connected for hundreds of miles so the liability of having a power surge is very high. Equipment in your home can cause power fluctuations. We have all experienced this one... something comes on in your house and your lights dim and or get brighter.
Does my home have protection to help regulate the amount of power it has?
Our default answer is NO! Homes do not have a power regulator built into them. You have to provide your own protection from surges. We all have the surge protector strips but often for just the convenience of the extra outlets. The few items plugged into the surge protector strips have some safety from power surges.
OK OK... What CAN I DO to protect my home?

The reason the main electrical panel is the best place to integrate power surge protection is it is the central distribution point of all the power going throughout your house. Install a professional surge protector into the main electrical panel and inherently you're protecting 100% of your house electrical. The whole house protector gets its name for exactly what it does... protects everything in your house from one central location from harmful power surges.
