What is Surge Protection?
Whole home surge protection, also known as surge suppression, is a vital safeguard for your home’s electrical system and all connected appliances and devices. It acts as a barrier against sudden voltage spikes throughout your home, which can result from various factors, including lightning strikes, utility grid fluctuations, electrical faults, downed power lines, and even the cycling of equipment within your home.Whole home surge protection, also known as surge suppression, is a vital safeguard for your home’s electrical system and all connected appliances and devices. It acts as a barrier against sudden voltage spikes throughout your home, which can result from various factors, including lightning strikes, utility grid fluctuations, electrical faults, downed power lines, and even the cycling of equipment within your home.
Why Get a Whole Home Surge Protector?
Most common electrical surges happen as a result of malfunctioning appliances, static electricity, load switching, or even turning on a hair dryer or air conditioning unit. While relatively minor, over time these surges can cause damage to electronics and appliances.
If you experience a high-surge event, like a lightning strike or power surge from the utility, it can cause immediate and severe damage to your home. A high-surge event can even spark a fire.
Which is why it’s imperative to invest in whole house surge protection versus a power strip surge protector, which only offers low-level surge protection and is not effective in a high-surge situation. Whole house surge protectors, on the other hand, effectively reduce both kinds of surges. High quality, single component assembly protects the home’s entire panel, NOT just one circuit.
Investing in whole home surge protection offers numerous advantages for homeowners, making it a more cost-effective, resilient, safer and wiser long-term solution.
Protection and Filtering for All Electrical Panels
Our systems protect and filter all incoming power, eliminating transient voltages caused by internal and external fluctuations. It extends the lifespan of all your electrical equipment and devices, saving you money on repairs and replacements. By preventing premature failure of electronic components, you contribute to a healthier environment by reducing e-waste. Safeguarding all electrical panels in your home ensures comprehensive protection for your entire electrical system.
We thoroughly test your current grounding system and recommend any necessary corrections to ensure optimal protection. Our surge suppression equipment is rated for 50kA protection and comes with a manufacturer’s 15-year warranty, providing you with peace of mind.
Types of Appliances and Devices You Can Protect
Our whole house surge protection system goes above and beyond to protect a wide range of appliances, electronics, and electrical devices throughout your home.
EV Charging Stations
If you drive an electric vehicle, having surge protection for your EV car charging station is crucial. Surges can damage the charging equipment, leading to costly repairs or replacements.
Lighting Systems
Protecting your lighting systems is essential, as power surges can cause bulbs to blow out prematurely. Whole house surge protection helps ensure that your lighting fixtures remain functional and last longer, especially those which are highly inconvenient to replace.
Computers and Devices
Computers are sensitive electronic devices susceptible to voltage fluctuations. A surge can lead to data loss, hardware damage, or even render your computer unusable. Surge protection safeguards your investment in computing equipment, smartphones and tablets, and your valuable personal and work-related data.
Flat Screen TVs and Speakers
Modern flat-screen TVs and speaker systems are susceptible to damage from power surges. It is wise to protect your entertainment devices and ensure you can enjoy your favorite shows and movies without interruption due to damage or loss.
HVAC System
Your heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system is a significant investment. Surges can damage HVAC control systems, leading to costly repairs. Surge protection is critical for your HVAC system.
Kitchen and Laundry Appliances
Appliances like ovens, refrigerators, and dishwashers are essential for daily living. Surge protection for kitchen appliances ensures they continue to operate efficiently and prevents expensive repairs and replacements. Washing machines and dryers are often overlooked when it comes to surge protection, but they can also be damaged by power surges.

Selecting the best-suited surge protection can be overwhelming – but our team of experts at New Age Lighting will help you customize and install the right protection for you and your home. We consider numerous factors when customizing your home protection.
Size of Your Home
The size of your home is a critical factor in determining the scope of surge protection required. Larger homes typically have more electrical circuits and a greater number of appliances and devices that need protection. Home size influences surge protection needs such as number of circuits required, distance, and residential zoning.
Electronics and Appliances
Identifying the specific electronics and appliances you want to protect is crucial as different surge protectors offer varying levels of protection. We take into account the devices you prioritize, device sensitivity, whole home versus point-of-use protection.
Risk Assessment
Assessing the level of risk in your area for potential surges is a crucial step in determining your surge protection needs. We consider the lightning activity in your area, power grid quality, and historical surges.
Budget
While surge protection is an investment in your home's safety and the longevity of your electronics, it's important to consider your budget. When considering budget, we think about quality versus the cost, professional installation costs, prioritization as well as long-term savings.
