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 Royalston 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.”
“The quote they gave me on the phone was the number on the invoice. That is apparently rare and it shouldn't be.”
“Storm took out our power for four days last winter. This year we have a standby generator that started itself while we were asleep.”
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 Royalston home, with a short power interruption.
That's the best time to do it, and it's the cheapest moment too.
