Common questions for Surge Protection Installation in Converse
Do I need whole-house surge protection if I have surge strips?
Yes. Surge strips at the equipment level are point-of-use protection. They are slower to react and have lower clamping capacity than panel-level SPDs. Layered protection (whole-house + point-of-use) is the right strategy.
How much does whole-house surge protection cost?
Cost is the SPD plus install labor. Type 2 panel-mount SPDs are smaller jobs. Type 1 service-entrance SPDs require utility coordination and cost more.
Will surge protection prevent lightning damage?
A direct lightning strike to the service drop will overwhelm any SPD. Whole-house surge protection clamps induced surges from nearby strikes and utility-side events, which is the majority of surge events. It improves the odds significantly without being a guarantee.
How long do surge protectors last?
SPDs have a finite life rated in joules of absorption. Quality SPDs in normal residential service typically last 5-10 years before needing replacement. The status indicator shows when the device is no longer protecting.
Will a surge protector slow down my appliances?
No. SPDs sit in parallel with the circuit and only activate during a surge event. Normal current flows around them.
