A First Line Of Defense
Whole house surge protection acts as a first line of defense against electrical power surges. It offers protection
against large power surges that can cause immense and immediate damage to electrical and electronic equipment throughout
your home.
Whole house surge suppressors also help protect your electronic devices against continual small, unnoticeable power surges
that happen every day. These daily occurrences can slowly wear down and shorten the life of your electronic equipment.
Think about it. In today's high tech world, circuit boards are in almost everything. And
a power surge can damage a lot more than just the TV or the computer. Circuit boards can be found in your refrigerator,
your dishwasher, your microwave, your oven / range, washing machines, clothes dryers, sewing machines, telephones, clocks,
crock pots, blenders, toasters, coffee makers...
Imagine how much it would cost to repair or replace any or all of those items! A service visit for just one appliance
would run into the hundreds of dollars.
Installed at your electric meter, whole house surge protectors offer an excellent first line of defense to protect the
thousands of dollars of electrical and electronic equipment in your home. And when done properly, they offer protection
against surges through power lines, cable TV lines and telephone lines.
So while nothing can fully protect you against a direct lighting strike, whole home surge protection is your best
... first line of defense against most electrical surge threats.

against surges and power spikes.
