What Is a Home Surge Protector?

Whether it be a downed power line or a blown transformer, numerous things can cause your home to lose power. Minor power surges typically aren’t an issue for your home’s appliances. However, over time, consistent power surges can shorten the lifespan of electronic devices.

A house surge protector is a device that protects all of the appliances in your home from electrical spikes. A surge protector limits excess electrical currents by blocking the flow or shorting it to the ground. That safeguards your electronic devices from damaging surges. 

Usually, the ideal place for installation is at the main panel, but installers must consider other factors to ensure the best protection. Call the professionals at BIG Family to access the type of surge protection your home needs, so you don’t have to worry about losing costly equipment during the storms.

Types of Surge Protectors

There are three distinct types of surge protectors that can be installed for your home. Each type provides a different level of protection for the electronic devices in your house. Learn more about each type here:

Type 1

A Type 1 SPD protects against external power surges, such as those from lightning strikes. These surge protectors are installed where electricity enters your property (between the utility pole and your power meter).

Type 2

A Type 2 SPD gets installed at the breaker panel. This home surge protector shields all circuits in that panel and any sub-panels connected downstream from transient voltage.

Type 3

Type 3 SPDs are installed at points of use around your home. You can plug the electronic device you want to protect directly into an outlet on the SPD and then plug the surge protector into an outlet.

The professionals at BIG Family can determine what type of surge protector would best fit your home’s unique needs.
