Whole house surge protection in Pledger: local conditions
Along the Gulf Coast, salt air and humidity corrode outdoor panels, meter bases and AC disconnects faster than anywhere else in the state, and hurricane season brings outages, surges and flooding that can reach outlets and wiring. We see a lot of corroded exterior equipment, storm-damaged service masts and homes where backup power is a priority. We plan whole house surge protection in Pledger with those conditions in mind.

Whole house surge protection in Pledger: 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 Pledger?
Yes. In the Texas Gulf Coast, 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.
