Whole House Surge Protection

Whole house surge protection is an essential investment for every homeowner, designed to protect your valuable electronics and appliances from damaging power surges. These surges can be caused by various factors, including thunderstorms or sudden changes in electricity usage. Without a whole house surge protection device, your devices such as computers, televisions, and appliances are at risk of being damaged or destroyed. Furthermore, a surge can also pose a fire risk, making surge protection crucial for your home's safety. A professionally installed whole house surge protection system offers peace of mind, knowing that your property and valuables are protected against unexpected power fluctuations.

The process of installing a whole house surge protection system involves integrating a device into your home's electrical panel. This device monitors the flow of electricity and reacts instantaneously to any significant increase in voltage, diverting the excess energy safely to the ground. It's important to note that whole house surge protection installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician to ensure it is done correctly and safely. This process requires knowledge and experience with electrical systems. At Lloyd's, our team of experienced professionals can provide seamless and efficient whole house surge protection installation, ensuring your home is safeguarded against power surges.

A whole house surge protection system is designed to protect all the electrical appliances and systems in your home. This includes large appliances like your refrigerator, oven, and HVAC system, as well as smaller electronics such as computers, televisions, and gaming consoles. It also safeguards intricate systems such as your home’s lighting and security system. Essentially, anything that’s connected to your home's electrical system is covered. Having a professionally installed whole house surge protection device ensures all these valuable and often expensive items are safe from unexpected power surges.

While both offer surge protection, their level of coverage and protection capacity varies significantly. Power strips with surge protection only safeguard the devices plugged into them. In contrast, a whole house surge protection system is integrated into your home's main electrical panel and protects all devices connected to your home's electrical system. Moreover, power strips have a limited energy absorption capacity and may fail after a few surges, whereas a whole house surge protection device is designed to handle larger surges multiple times, offering more comprehensive and reliable protection.
