Questions about protecting your home from surges

For Whole House Surge Protector Installation, how does a whole house surge protector protect my appliances?

A surge protector helps limit a voltage surge before it reaches connected appliances. Earth Electric installs the device at the electrical panel.

The device directs surge current toward the grounding system. Protection has limits, so sensitive electronics may still benefit from surge protection at their outlets.

What should I do about a burning smell near my panel?

A burning smell near an electrical panel needs urgent electrical attention. We can investigate the panel and address the electrical problem.

Keep away from the panel and don't touch it. If you see smoke or fire, leave the building and call emergency services.

When scheduling Whole House Surge Protector Installation, which panel conditions can change the installation price?

Panel space and the grounding connection can change the installation price. We assess those conditions before preparing your quote.

A device that fits the panel and any needed electrical work form part of the proposed scope. We'll explain that scope so you can decide how to proceed.

When should I ask about outlet surge protection too?

Outlet surge protection is worth discussing for sensitive electronics connected to individual outlets. A panel device and an outlet device protect at different points in the electrical system.

Tell us about computers or other equipment you want to protect. We can discuss how the panel device fits with protection already at those outlets.

Why does the surge protector have a status light?

A status light shows the condition reported by the surge protection device. The exact indication depends on the device installed.

We'll explain what its indicator means after installation. If the light later signals a problem, contact us so we can assess the device and discuss any needed replacement.
