Whole House Surge Protection for Gaines homes and businesses
Mid-Michigan gets its share of ice storms and summer thunderstorms, and both lead to outages and surges. In Gaines and across Genesee County, we see the results in damaged electronics and tired breakers. That experience informs how we approach whole house surge protection here.
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 Gaines.
