Whole House Surge Protection for Montrose homes and businesses
Plenty of homes around Montrose were built in the 1950s through the 1970s with 100 amp services and far fewer circuits than a household uses today. When we carry out whole house surge protection in Genesee County, we make sure the existing system can support the work and tell you plainly if it cannot.
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 Montrose.
