Common questions

Whole-House Surge Protection FAQ

What to know about panel-mounted protection and long-term maintenance.

What causes power surges?+

Lightning, utility switching, downed power lines, and large motors cycling on and off can all create voltage spikes. Repeated smaller surges can also damage electronics over time.

How does whole-house surge protection work?+

A device installed at the main panel diverts excess voltage toward the grounding system before the surge travels throughout the home’s wiring.

Do I still need plug-in surge strips?+

Whole-house protection provides the primary layer. Quality point-of-use strips can provide a second layer for especially sensitive electronics.

How long does a surge protector last?+

Service life varies with the device and surge exposure. Many last five to ten years and include an indicator showing when replacement is needed; periodic inspection is recommended.

What does installation cost?+

Typical installations range from $400 to $800 or more depending on equipment rating, panel compatibility, and installation conditions. ABR provides a detailed quote before starting.
