A surge protector/arrestor protects against surges, spikes, lightning, etc. These surges may come down the utility line or they may come from within your home or nearby. This device will sacrifice itself to protect your electrical system and electronic equipment from surges. Many surge protectors simply plug into the wall and your equipment plugs into it, this is considered a “Point-of-Plug Surge Protector/Arrestor”. Using this kind of surge protection is less than optimum protection for the attached equipment. Hufnagel Electric can install a main load center whole house surge protector to protect everything in your house including phone and cable equipment. This is the best surge protection you can get and it protects everything in your home and comes with a 3-year manufacturer’s warranty.
