Aren't the strips behind my TV enough?

Plug strips are a last line of defense — and most of the cheap ones are spent after their first event without telling you. Whole-panel SPDs catch the surge at the meter, before it ever reaches a strip.

Whole-Panel Surge Protection

One device. Every outlet. Every storm.

A whole-panel surge protector is the cheapest insurance an electrician can sell you. It clamps voltage spikes — utility switching, downed lines, summer storms — before they reach your TVs, HVAC boards, and laptop chargers. Installed in roughly an hour.

What that looks like on a real job.

Type 2 surge protection devices (Eaton, Siemens, Square D)
Installed at the panel — no plug-strip whack-a-mole
Joule ratings sized to the home, not a stock number
Status indicator + replaceable cartridge designs
Typically pays for itself with a single induction event
