Whole-Home Surge Protection in Allentown, PA
Add a layer of protection for appliances and electronics
Modern homes rely on sensitive electronics, HVAC equipment, smart devices, EV chargers, generators, computers, and appliances. Whole-home surge protection adds a layer of protection at the electrical panel to help reduce risk from many surge events. Energized Electric installs whole-home surge protection in Allentown, PA, the Lehigh Valley, and the Poconos.
Surge protection is not a promise that nothing will ever be damaged, and it is not a complete lightning protection system. It is a practical protective upgrade that can be paired with point-of-use protection and good grounding practices.

What this service covers
Frequently asked questions
Does whole-home surge protection stop lightning damage?
No device can guarantee protection from all lightning damage. Whole-home surge protection helps reduce risk from many surge events as part of layered protection.
Do I still need surge strips?
Often, yes. Point-of-use surge protection can still be part of a layered approach for computers, entertainment systems, and other sensitive equipment.
Is surge protection installed in the panel?
Many whole-home surge protective devices are installed at or near the electrical panel. The exact installation depends on the device and panel.
Is this a good add-on during a panel upgrade?
Yes, it is often efficient to discuss surge protection during a panel upgrade because the panel is already being evaluated.
Is surge protection useful for vacation homes?
It can be, especially for homes with HVAC, smart controls, generators, well pumps, electronics, and remote monitoring equipment.
