Whole House Surge Protector

A whole house surge protector is installed at the main breaker box where the power comes into the house and will protect everything that is connected to your electrical system.  It ties into the electrical system on it’s own breaker at the main breaker box.  If it fails or that breaker trips, you do not lose power to the house, but you will lose the surge protection.

There are two green LED lights on the unit that you can see when it is operating correctly.  If one or both of those are off, you’ll know you need to have it checked.
