If you’re like most people, you’re familiar with power strip surge protectors that help to protect all the items plugged into it. A whole-home surge protector works similarly but can protect your home’s entire electrical system. This type of surge protector installs directly at the panel box to handle any unexpected power surge before it reaches any of the circuits in your home.
There are many benefits of installing a whole-house surge protector, including:
Protect electronics and appliances
Increase home value
Lower insurance premiums
Prevent electrical fires
Peace of mind
When selecting a new surge protector for your home, there are many things that you’ll want to take into consideration. One of the most important is the absorption rate of the surge protector, which indicates how much amperage the surge protector can safely absorb. The more amperage the surge protector can absorb, the more expensive it will be.
Typically, most homeowners should opt for a surge protector with a 40,000-amp absorption rate. This is enough to absorb any excess energy a lightning strike may cause to your electrical equipment. However, it’s important to realize that some rare lightning strikes have up to 100,000 amps. There are currently no surge protectors with a high enough absorption rate to protect against these rare events.
Another thing to consider is the features of the surge protector. Smart surge protectors can allow you to receive notifications on your smartphone whenever the surge protector is activated. You can even receive alerts when the protector is malfunctioning to let you know that it needs to receive repair service. Additionally, you’ll want to ensure that the whole-house surge protector you invest in has a rating from the National Electric Manufacturers Association or NEMA, for short.
