Whole Home Surge Protection

If you've ever had lighting strike your house or suffered from other electrical surges then you know the damage that can come from such a catastrophe.  Electrical surges can kill all of the electronic devices plugged in to your homes receptacles, including televisions, computers, refrigerators, any anything with electronic components.  When all of these electronic devices are added up, it can cost a homeowner or their insurance company $1000's of dollars to replace these units. 

Whole home surge protection installed at the meter or panel can prevent these outside surges from coming into your home and damaging your electronic devices.  It is also recommended to plug these electronic devices into surge protectors to prevent inside surges caused by equipment that cycles on and off inside of your home such as air conditioners, refrigerators and dryers.

Whole home surge protection devices, such as the one pictured by Intermatic, offer different levels of warranties based on the device.  These warranties are just in case the whole home surge protector fails.  If it does, the warranties cover damage to the devices in your home that are affected.  These warranties have a wide range in regards to how long they last and how much they cover.  Consult with Threewire Electric in Lexington to know which device would be best for your home.
