What is Whole House Surge Protection?
Whole House Surge Protection is a system that’s installed directly at your electrical panel to protect your entire home from power surges.

Why You Need Whole House Surge Protection
Protect Your Valuable Electronics
The average home has over $20,000 worth of electronics and appliances that are vulnerable to electrical surges. Lightning is a well-known cause, but smaller surges from your air conditioning unit, power tools, or even fluctuations in the power grid can degrade your electronics over time. With Whole House Surge Protection, your home’s devices are safeguarded against both major and minor surges.
Prevent Expensive Repairs and Replacements
Surges can destroy components in computers, televisions, refrigerators, and even HVAC systems. Repairing or replacing these expensive items can cost thousands of dollars. With Eaton Surge Protection, you can avoid the high costs associated with electrical damage by installing a protective system that acts before surges can cause harm.
Protect Against Lightning Strikes
Lightning is one of the most damaging causes of electrical surges. A direct strike can fry your electronics instantly. Even nearby strikes can send electrical surges into your home, affecting all of your connected devices. Whole House Surge Protection helps to absorb or divert these dangerous surges, keeping your equipment safe.
Reduce the Risk of Long-Term Damage
Smaller surges are often undetectable but can gradually wear down the components of your appliances, shortening their lifespan. Eaton Whole-House Surge Protection prevents this gradual damage by regulating the electrical current flowing through your home, giving your devices the protection they need to last longer.



How Eaton Whole-House Surge Protection Works
Eaton Whole-House Surge Protection works by monitoring the power flowing into your home. Installed at the electrical panel, the surge protector constantly regulates the amount of electricity that enters your home. When a surge is detected, the system quickly diverts excess voltage away from sensitive electronics and appliances, ensuring that only safe electricity reaches your devices.
Whether the surge is caused by lightning, power line fluctuations, or electrical appliances, Eaton’s surge protection units act as a safeguard to protect everything in your home from potential damage.
