We plan whole house surge protection in Big Sandy with those conditions in mind.

Whole house surge protection in Big Sandy: common questions

Does whole house surge protection stop lightning?

It handles the surges that come in on the power lines from nearby strikes, which are the common ones. No device can promise protection from a direct strike to the house. It greatly reduces the everyday surge damage that shortens the life of electronics.

Do I still need power strips with a whole house surge protector?

For computers, televisions and audio equipment, yes. A good point-of-use protector behind the panel device gives layered protection.

How long does surge protector installation take?

Usually an hour or two when the panel has room. Power is off briefly while we connect the device.

Are surges common in Big Sandy?

Yes. In East Texas, storms, utility switching and heavy air conditioning loads all produce surges. Most are too small to notice, and their effect on electronics adds up over time.
