Modern homes are filled with expensive electronics—from smart TVs and computers to high-tech refrigerators and HVAC systems. A single power surge can destroy thousands of dollars worth of equipment in a fraction of a second.
Veteran Electric offers Whole-Home Surge Protection to safeguard your entire house from electrical spikes. Unlike plug-in power strips that only protect one device, a whole-home system is installed at your breaker panel to stop surges before they enter your home’s wiring.
Where Do Surges Come From?
Most people think of lightning, but that’s only part of the story:
- External Surges (20%): Caused by lightning strikes, downed power lines, or utility grid switching. These are rare but catastrophic.
- Internal Surges (80%): Caused by large appliances in your own home (AC units, motors, pumps) cycling on and off. These mini-surges happen daily and degrade your electronics over time, shortening their lifespan.
Why You Need Whole-Home Protection
Comprehensive Defense: It protects “hardwired” items that can’t be plugged into a power strip, such as your air conditioner, furnace, oven, dishwasher, and LED lighting drivers.
Layered Security: For best results, use a whole-home protector at the panel AND high-quality power strips for sensitive electronics like computers and home theaters.
