Whole-home surge protection
Protection in layers, with a clear limit. It is not a lightning-rod system, and it does not stop every surge.
Two different jobs
A device at the electrical panel is there for the whole house. Installing that device is panel work, and it belongs to a licensed electrician. We do not do house wiring or panels. Our low-voltage licenses are not an electrical license.
The other job is the rack: the audio, the network, and the cameras we install. A spike that gets past the panel can still reach that gear. Protection at the rack, and a real grounding path for it, is the part we plan with the install. Neither layer is a promise that nothing will be damaged.
What this is not
This is not lightning protection. A lightning-rod system is a different trade. We do not name a surge product or a price on this page. The right device depends on the panel and on the equipment in the rack.
The overview is generators, EV charging, and surge protection. Generator planning is here. EV charging is here.
Questions
Short answers on what surge protection does and does not do.
Is this lightning protection?
No. Surge protection can reduce damage from smaller spikes. It is not a lightning-rod system, and it does not stop every surge.
Who handles the device at the panel?
A licensed electrician. We do not do panel work or house wiring. We plan the protection and grounding at the rack for the audio, network, and camera gear we install.
