Whole house surge protection in Farmington: local conditions matter

Metro Detroit homes work their electrical systems hard, and more so every year as EV chargers, central air and home offices are added. In Farmington and across Oakland County, we check the capacity of the panel and service before we begin whole house surge protection, so that nothing new is hung on a system that is already full.

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 Farmington.
