What Is a Whole Home Surge Protector?

A whole home surge protector is installed in your electrical panel to prevent sudden spikes in voltage from damaging your appliances and electronics. Unlike regular surge protectors, which only shield the devices plugged into them, whole home surge protectors provide coverage for your entire house. This includes every outlet, appliance, and electrical equipment, offering complete protection no matter where the surge originates. Some additional benefits of installing a whole home surge protector include increased safety and peace of mind. By preventing potential damage to your appliances and electronics, you reduce the risk of electrical fires. This not only protects your property but also ensures the safety of your family. Here is a look at common causes of electrical surges:
  • Lightning Strikes – One of the most powerful sources of electrical surges, a lightning strike near a power line can generate a sudden spike in voltage that can cause severe damage.
  • Power Outages – When power is restored after an outage, it can often come back with a surge, a sudden increase in voltage that can harm electronic devices.
  • High-Power Electrical Devices – Appliances like refrigerators and air conditioners require a lot of power to operate. When these devices turn on and off, they can cause minor surges.
  • Faulty Wiring – Aged, damaged, or poor-quality wiring can increase the risk of power surges.
  • Power Line Maintenance – Surges can occur when power companies perform maintenance or upgrades on the electrical grid.

How Does a Surge Protector Work?

A surge protector is a gatekeeper, monitoring the electrical current flowing into your home. When a voltage spike occurs, the surge protector detects the excess energy and redirects it to the ground, preventing it from entering your home’s electrical circuit. This quick and efficient process helps to safeguard your electrical appliances and systems from damage. Additionally, whole home surge protectors are more cost-effective than buying individual surge protectors for each outlet and device. They also require minimal maintenance and a long lifespan, providing continuous protection for your home.

Why Is Surge Protection Important?

Surge protection is not just about safeguarding your electronics. It’s about protecting your home and your peace of mind. A surge, even if minor, can cause severe damage to the sensitive electronics inside appliances and other devices, reducing their efficiency or causing them to no longer work. Installing a surge protector ensures your devices are shielded from these harmful voltage spikes. This ensures their durability and performance. Plus, it eliminates the potential hazards that surges can cause, such as electrical fires, offering an additional layer of security for your home.

Signs That Your Home Is at Risk for a Power Surge

While power surges can occur without warning, certain signs may indicate your home is at risk. We’ve compiled a list of some of the most common indications of a possible power surge. If you notice any of these, give us a call. We’ll inspect your home’s electrical system, identify any possible concerns, and recommend the upgrades you need to regain your peace of mind. Here are some signs that your home may be at risk for a power surge:

  • Frequent Electrical Flickering or Dimming – If you notice your lights flickering or dimming regularly, it could indicate unstable electrical currents, leading to power surges.
  • Circuit Breakers Tripping Frequently – When circuit breakers trip often, it indicates an excessive flow of electricity, potentially caused by power surges.
  • Outdated or Faulty Wiring – Older homes or outdated wiring systems may be more susceptible to power surges. Faulty wiring can cause fluctuations in the electrical supply, increasing the risk of surges.
  • Nearby Lightning Activity – If your area experiences frequent thunderstorms or is prone to lightning strikes, your home is at a higher risk of power surges. Lightning-induced surges can travel through power lines and damage connected devices.
  • Presence of Power-Hungry Appliances – Appliances such as air conditioners, refrigerators, and large electronics consume significant power. When these devices turn on or off, they can create power spikes that may lead to surges.

Awesome experience with Hawkins. Scott showed up on time, fixed the problem with my home AC, and charged a very fair price. I also have rental property and from now on, Hawkins is the only company I'll call for any AC or furnace issues. Thank you!

Our technician Nicholas Becker was great! He quickly diagnosed the problems we had with our Aqua Logic Control board and fixed it after quoting us cost. He also diagnosed and repaired our Spa heater. Nicholas was upfront about what the problem was and had the part he needed to make a quick repair. We won't use…

We purchased our pool through a longtime local company thinking they would be there for us when a repair need arose, but sadly, they were not interested in servicing us and wanted to charge a service all fee, even when we were still under warranty. They recommended we call Hawkins and have them come out instead.…

HAWKINS was hired to complete the wiring on our condo dock after Tampa Dock and Seawall abandoned the project unfinished. They have done a fantastic job, professionally, on time, and without plodding. I’m very satisfied and will look for opportunities to use them again.

This company was AWESOME! They took care of getting the electrical inspection passed - 10 years later - after the original permit was found still open from a pool builder that had gone out of business. The open permit was discovered by the title company from a pool built YEARS before I bought the house. Their…
