Whole House Surge Protection for Baldwin homes and businesses

Baldwin is part of Lake County in Northern Michigan, an area of year-round homes, seasonal cottages and cabins tucked into the woods and along the lakes. Many of these places were built for summer use and later converted, so the wiring is often lighter than a full-time home needs. That is the background to most of the whole house surge protection we do in Baldwin.

Where surges come from

Lightning gets the blame, but most surges are smaller and far more frequent. They occur when utility power is restored after an outage, when grid equipment switches and when large motors in your own home cycle on and off. Each one wears a little at electronics. Thunderstorms, ice and wind make outages and restorations a regular event across Michigan, which is why panel-mounted protection is worth having in Baldwin.
