Case Study: Installing a Whole-House Surge Protector in Dumfries, VA

September 14, 2024by PROElectric

Hi, I’m Jason from Pro Electric, LLC.

I recently installed a surge protector, replacing the one that failed for a client in Dumfries, Virginia.

The client had expensive electronics—a big-screen TV, a computer, and a gaming system.

The homeowner was worried that their electronics would be at risk when damaging weather hit the Dumfries area.

Understanding the Problem

Power surges may harm electronics.

They might arise from lightning strikes, utility issues, faulty wiring, or big devices flipping on and off.

Even tiny surges could be damaging over time.

Our Solution

I suggested replacing the faulty whole-house surge protector.

It links to the electrical panel and safeguards the house from power surges entering the house.

Installation Process

The following day I visited their home. Installation steps were:

  • Safety: I shut down the primary power to work.
  • Mounting: The surge protector was placed near the electric panel.
  • Wiring: Connected it up to code to the panel.
  • Testing: Restored power and tested system.

Results

The installation took a few hours.

Now, their entire home is protected from unexpected power surges.

The client was relieved to know that their valuable electronics were safe.

Why It Matters

A whole-house surge protector is a wise investment that can prevent costly damages.

It’s worth considering if you have expensive electronics or work from home.

Final Thoughts

Consider installing a whole-house surge protector if you’re concerned about power surges.
