The Importance of Whole-Home Surge Protection

Although most homes are wired to handle about 200 amps of electricity, power surges—often caused by lightning strikes or power grid issues—can send thousands of amps through your system. Such power surges can damage or destroy valuable electronics and appliances, leading to costly replacements. Installing a whole-home surge protection system ensures that excess electricity is safely redirected into the ground, preventing damage to your home’s electrical system and everything connected to it.

Power surges can reach up to 40,000–50,000 amps, which far exceed the capacity of standard electrical panels. Primeco Electric’s surge protection solutions provide peace of mind, safeguarding your home and electronics from unexpected surges, especially during powerful thunderstorms that are common in South Florida.

Types of Whole-House Surge Protection

Whole-home surge protection comes in three main types, each offering a different level of defense:

1. Type 1 Surge Protectors

Installed in front of your home’s electrical meter, these protectors divert power surges into the ground before they can enter your home. Known as meter socket surge protectors, Type 1 protectors offer a strong line of defense against external surges.

2. Type 2 Surge Protectors

These are installed directly in your electrical panel on the load side. Type 2 protectors redirect excess electricity before it can flood your panel, offering comprehensive protection for your home's electrical system.

3. Type 3 Surge Protectors

Type 3 protectors include surge protection strips and provide localized, minimal protection. While helpful, they are not as effective as Types 1 and 2 for whole-home defense.
