Whole house surge protection in Nordheim: local conditions
South Texas heat keeps air conditioners running for most of the year, which is hard on breakers, disconnects and panel connections, and summer thunderstorms bring lightning and surges. Homes here range from early-1900s houses with original wiring to new subdivisions, so we do everything from rewiring to EV charger and generator installations. We plan whole house surge protection in Nordheim with those conditions in mind.

Whole house surge protection in Nordheim: 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 Nordheim?
Yes. In South 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.
