Reliable Whole-Home Surge Protection Installation

Expert Electrical Installation Services for Homes & Businesses

Most homeowners don’t give power surges a second thought unless there’s a bad storm coming in. Unfortunately, by then, it’s too late to do anything about it. It’s tempting to put it in the back of your mind, especially if the power just comes back on. The truth is, a surge can quietly fry the control board in your furnace or wipe out your smart devices, computer, and TV. All the most expensive electronics in your home.

Whole-home surge protection stops that from happening altogether, and right at the source. It’s installed right at your main electrical panel and serves as the first line of defense for every circuit, hardwired appliance, and outlet in your home. At Control Point Heating • Cooling • Plumbing • Electric, our experienced electricians do whole-home surge protection installation the right way so you don’t have to second-guess whenever there’s a storm or if you’re running too many things at once.

Why Surge Protection is So Important in Older and Modern Homes

Power surges aren’t as rare as people think. While storms are a big cause of surges, there are more that homeowners should be aware of. Nearby lightning (even strikes that don’t hit your house), utility grid switching, large appliances kicking on and off again, old or faulty wiring – these are all common causes of power surges. In fact, according to the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), 60-80% of surges are caused within a home.

Older homes are more vulnerable because of their aged wiring and sometimes outdated panels, but newer homes are at risk, too. The electrical systems in older homes weren’t made for our modern electrical appliances. Appliances from fifty or sixty years ago required much less electrical demand, and the whole home typically ran on 60-amp or 100-amp panels. Compare that to more modern homes that run on 200-amp panels.

Older homes also had fewer circuits and older fuse boxes that didn’t have modern circuit breakers to help protect against surges and overloading. For modern homes, people have become really reliant on plug-in surge strips, but the trouble with those is they only protect whatever is plugged into them. It doesn’t protect your HVAC systems, oven, water heater, well pump, garage door opener, etc. A whole-home surge protective device (SPD) at the panel will divert that excess voltage before it spreads throughout your house.

It protects the systems in your home that you can’t just unplug.

Install

What Kind of SPDs We Install

At Control Point, we install Type 1 and Type 2 whole-home surge protective devices that meet the current code requirements.

Type 1 SPD: The unit is mounted at or near your main panel and connects to the grounding systems. This unit includes status indicators. Serves as the first line of defense against surges.

Type 2 SPD: The unit is mounted on the load side (inside the main or sub-panels) and offers downstream protection for sensitive equipment and circuits.

Many homeowners we work with add this protection during an electrical panel upgrade or after a surge has already caused damage.
