What Is Whole-Home Surge Protection?


Whole-home surge protection is a device installed at your main electrical panel or circuit breaker box that stops excess voltage from entering your home’s wiring. Unlike power strip surge protectors that only guard individual electronics and other devices, this system protects everything, from refrigerators and HVAC systems to laptops and smart lighting, by blocking surges before they reach your outlets.

Why Seattle Homes Need Surge Protection

Seattle homes are exposed to power surges caused by grid fluctuations, lightning strikes, disruptions to nearby power lines, construction, and even large appliances cycling on and off. These surges enter through your electrical panel and quietly wear down your electrical system, often without obvious signs until something fails. Whole house surge protectors defend your home while providing various benefits, including:

  • Protects your home’s electronics and appliances: Prevents damage to computers, TVs, kitchen appliances, air conditioners, and smart home systems during voltage spikes.
  • Extends the life of your home’s electrical system: Reduces long-term wear and tear on wiring and outlets caused by everyday electricity surges.
  • Reduces fire risk from overloaded circuits: Helps prevent dangerous overheating and electrical fires caused by sudden voltage increases.
  • Offers full-home coverage: Shields every circuit in your home, not just individual outlets or power strips.
    Provides peace of mind during outages and storms: Keeps your home safer and more stable during unpredictable events.
  • Supports insurance requirements or claims: Some insurers require or prefer surge protection for expensive electronics or claims processing.
  • Increases resale value for tech-forward buyers: Adds value for buyers looking for smart home readiness or well-maintained systems.

FAQs – Seattle Whole-Home Surge Protection Services

How long does a whole-home surge protector last?

Most whole-home surge protectors last 5 to 10 years, depending on the model and how often your home experiences surges.

Do I still need power strip surge protectors?

Yes. Whole-home surge protection covers your entire electrical system, but point-of-use surge protectors can offer extra defense for sensitive and valuable electronics.

Will this protect against lightning strikes?

Whole-home surge protectors can reduce damage from indirect lightning strikes but may not fully protect your home from a direct hit. We recommend a layered approach that includes grounding and point-of-use protectors for added protection.

Does surge protection require maintenance?

Most devices are low-maintenance, but checking your system during electrical inspections or panel upgrades is a good idea to ensure it still functions properly.

Can a surge protector be installed on any electrical panel?

Most modern panels can support surge protection, but older or overloaded panels may require upgrades first. We’ll inspect your setup and let you know what’s needed before installation.

Is whole-home surge protection worth it if I’ve never had an issue?

Yes. Many small surges go unnoticed but still cause gradual damage to your electronics and appliances. Whole-house surge protection is a proactive way to prevent long-term wear and expensive replacements that make up for the initial cost.

How long does installation take?

In most cases, we can complete the installation in under two hours. If your home’s electrical panel needs upgrades or adjustments, we’ll let you know upfront and plan accordingly.
