Whole-Home Surge Protection

St. Louis sits in one of the most lightning-active regions in the country, and utility switching events cause smaller surges every day. A power strip protects one outlet. A Type 2 surge protector at the panel protects every circuit in the house, including the HVAC system, the refrigerator, the EV charger, and the hardwired electronics a power strip cannot reach.

Caito Electric installs whole-home surge protection from Eaton, Siemens, Square D, and Leviton in about an hour, usually alongside a panel upgrade or EV charger install.

Questions about whole-home surge protection

Does whole-home surge protection replace power strips?

It handles the large surges that destroy equipment. Quality point-of-use protectors for sensitive electronics remain a good second layer.
