Why Every Texas Home Needs Whole House Surge Protection

Texas leads the nation in lightning. A panel-mounted surge protector protects HVAC, appliances and electronics for about the cost of one repair.

Where surges come from

Lightning, utility switching, large motors cycling and even your own AC compressor create spikes that degrade electronics over time.

Type 1 vs Type 2 SPDs

Type 1 installs at the meter or service entrance; Type 2 installs at the panel. Many homes benefit from both plus point-of-use strips.

What gets protected

Everything on every circuit: HVAC control boards, refrigerators, washers, TVs, computers, smart home devices and EV chargers.

Installation

About an hour at the panel. Most units have an indicator light showing protection status.
