Whole house surge protection in Mereta: 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.
Is surge protection required by code?
Recent editions of the National Electrical Code call for surge protection on new and replaced home services. Existing homes are not forced to add it, but it is a sensible upgrade.
