For over 20 years, homeowners have trusted Putnam Mechanical for their whole-home surge protectors in Mooresville, NC. In the U.S., electrical surges result in nearly $1 billion in residential property damage annually. As of the 2021 update, the National Electrical Code (NEC) requires whole-home surge protection in newly built homes. Most homes built before then don’t have that protection.
That can leave you vulnerable to both external and internal surges. Custom surge protector installation can safeguard your electrical system and your most valuable appliances and electronics.

Protect Your Technology with Surge Protector Installation
A common concern homeowners have is whether our electricians can add a surge protector to an existing electrical panel. The answer is yes, as we can typically integrate surge protection devices (SPDs) into existing panel configurations. That said, we may recommend a replacement if it is technologically outdated or doesn’t provide enough amp coverage for your household.
How a surge protector works is that it monitors the voltage through the system. If it senses voltage outside normal parameters, it can trigger within nanoseconds. Once triggered, the mechanism will channel electricity into the ground, thereby protecting your system.
There are two main types of SPDs for residential use: Type 1 and Type 2. The NEC requires one or the other, but installing both types is an option. Builders generally opt for Type 2 protection in new homes. Type 2 SPDs function between the panel and the home’s wiring to protect against both internal and external surges. Type 1 SPDs function on the service side, thereby providing better protection against direct lightning strikes and power grid fluctuations. While uncommon, these events can lead to significant electrical damage.
Installing a surge protector is also an excellent time to upgrade your electrical system in other ways. You can add dedicated 240-volt circuits for future home improvements, such as EV charging stations. It’s also an opportunity to add outlets, lighting receptacles, switches, dimmers, and more.
