That’s why we’re excited to share our recent installation video featuring the state-of-the-art Vortexx™ Series R 1-Phase Whole House Surge Protector. This versatile and powerful device is designed to shield your home from surges caused by distant lightning strikes and more.
James Adams, our master electrician, leads the charge in this hands-on demonstration. “Hey howdy and good gosh darn morning to you! Today we’re installing the Vortexx™, and it’s not just any surge protector. It’s a lifesaver for your electrical system,” James begins with his characteristic enthusiasm.

Installation Highlights
In our video, James demonstrates the removal of an existing Eaton Ultra surge protector and the installation of the Vortexx™ into the same subpanel space. “We love the Eaton, but it’s time for an upgrade to something that fits our needs more snugly, like your favorite pair of gloves,” jokes James.
Installation Tips from James:
- Keep Wires Short and Straight: For optimal surge protection, it’s crucial to maintain the wiring as concise and orderly as possible.
- Safe Practices Are Key: James demonstrates metering out the power and grounding techniques to ensure a safe installation environment.
- Close to the Main Feeders: “We’re installing this as close to the main feeders as possible, which is crucial for effective surge protection,” James explains as he works on the subpanel.
Why Choose the Vortexx™?
“The Vortexx™ isn’t just about robust protection; it’s about flexibility in installation and peace of mind thanks to its comprehensive warranty,” says James. He highlights how the Vortexx™ is ideal for homes with limited breaker space or fully packed panels, offering a streamlined solution without the need for extensive modifications.
