Surge Protection FAQs
Does a whole-home surge protector protect against lightning strikes?
Yes, a quality whole-home surge protector can shunt away the massive power spikes from nearby lightning strikes, but it cannot protect against a direct strike to your home.
Do I still need power strip surge protectors if I have a whole-home device?
Yes. A whole-home protector handles large, external surges. Power strip protectors (Point-of-Use SPDs) provide the final layer of defense against small, internal surges generated by appliances within your home.
