FAQs

How do I know if my panel needs an upgrade?

Signs can include lack of space for new breakers, visible damage, or an older panel brand of concern. A contractor assesses the panel on site.

Is whole-house surge protection the same as a power strip?

No. A whole-house surge protective device is installed at the panel and protects against larger surges entering the home. Point-of-use strips protect individual devices.
