WHOLE HOME SURGE PROTECTOR INSTALLATION
WHY DO I NEED A WHOLE HOME SURGE PROTECTOR?
Our goal here at JR Electrical Services is to keep your home safe and up-to-date with the current industry standards in all things electrical. We keep up with these things, so you don’t have to. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) is a non-profit organization that sets these industry standards worldwide. These standards are referred to as the National Electrical Code® (NEC®).
​
​In 2020, the NEC added article 230.67, which states…
230.67 Surge Protection
• New Section 230.67 requires services supplying dwelling units to be provided with an SPD (surge protector device).
• The SPD must be located in or next to the service equipment.
• An exception permits an alternate location provided an SPD is located at each next level distribution equipment downstream toward the load.

BENEFITS OF WHOLE HOME SURGE PROTECTION
Improve Your Home's Safety
By reducing the risk of electrical fires that can result from overloaded circuits, surge protectors add a layer of safety to your home.
Cost Savings
Surge protectors help prevent damage to your home’s major appliances, including refrigerators, ovens, and washers, which can otherwise be costly to repair or replace.
Extends Appliance Lifespan
Even small, unnoticed surges wear down your appliances over time. A whole home surge protector ensures a longer lifespan for your most expensive electronics.
Peace of Mind
With Arizona’s frequent lightning storms, whole-home surge protection provides peace of mind that your home’s electrical systems are secure.
TYPES OF SURGE PROTECTORS
There are a few different types of surge protectors available, each suited to different levels of protection and specific household needs.
Primary Surge Protectors (Service Entrance Surge Protectors) - These are installed at the point where electricity enters your home, typically at the electrical panel. They provide first-line protection from surges caused by external sources like lightning strikes or power grid issues.
Secondary Surge Protectors (Point-of-Use Surge Protectors) - Often used in conjunction with primary protectors, these are plugged into individual outlets to provide extra protection for sensitive devices like computers, entertainment systems, and smart appliances.
Whole-Home Surge Protectors - These are installed in your home’s main electrical panel, intercepting and deflecting surges before they enter your internal wiring system. They provide broad, robust protection against most external and internal surges.
ADD A SURGE PROTECTOR DURING YOUR PANEL UPGRADE
Adding a surge protector when upgrading your electrical panel is a good idea for several reasons, as it adds a layer of protection to your entire home. A few more reasons homeowners may want to add a whole home surge protector are:
-
Stay compliant with current electrical codes
-
Protect against power surges
-
Improved safety
-
Prolonged lifespan for appliances
-
