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 North Hatfield in a single short visit.
“Sold our house and the buyer's inspector flagged eight electrical items. OSB fixed all of them in one visit and wrote it up so we could close on time.”
“Lost a furnace board and a TV in one storm. They put a surge device on the panel and explained exactly what it does and doesn't cover.”
“Fan on a vaulted ceiling that two handymen said couldn't be done. Right downrod, right box, level and silent.”
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 North Hatfield home, with a short power interruption.
That's the best time to do it, and it's the cheapest moment too.
