Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between SPD and power strips? +
A whole-house surge protective device (SPD) stops surges at your meter, protecting every circuit—even hardwired appliances. Cheap power strips protect only plugged devices. Our panel SPDs meet NEC Article 285 and catch lightning-class surges.
Does whole-house surge protection really prevent damage? +
A quality Type 2 SPD stops 90%+ of transient surges from Georgia Power's grid and local lightning. It won't stop a direct strike, but paired with point-of-use strips, your home is protected. Manufacturer warranty covers equipment damage.
How much does surge protection cost to install? +
Most whole-house SPD installations run $350–$750, including the device, breaker, and labor. Cost depends on panel space and existing wiring. We quote upfront; no surprises. Pays for itself if it saves one HVAC or refrigerator.
