A power strip protects a lamp. A panel-mounted surge device protects the furnace board, the heat pump, the range and every circuit in the house. OSB installs whole-house surge protection across East Falmouth in a single short visit.
“They found a loose neutral that had been slowly cooking our appliances for years. Nobody else even looked for it.”
“Storm took out our power for four days last winter. This year we have a standby generator that started itself while we were asleep.”
“Sparking outlet in the nursery. They came out the same evening, replaced it, and checked every other outlet on that circuit for free.”
It's one of the cheapest protective upgrades available — typically a few hundred dollars installed when there's panel space. Far less than one furnace control board.
No, it layers with them. The panel device knocks down the big hit; point-of-use strips clean up what's left for sensitive electronics.
Nothing stops a direct strike. Surge devices handle the far more common nearby strikes, utility switching and grid transients that quietly kill appliance boards.
Usually under two hours in a East Falmouth home, with a short power interruption.
That's the best time to do it, and it's the cheapest moment too.
