Whole house surge protection in Rankin: 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.
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.
Are surges common in Rankin?
Yes. In West 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.
