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 Massachusetts in a single short visit.
Every Massachusetts city and town has a dedicated whole house surge protection page with local details and dispatch.
“They rewired our restaurant kitchen overnight so we never closed a single service. That mattered more than the price, honestly.”
“Office fit-out on a tight deadline. They worked around our contractor, hit every date, and the inspection passed first time.”
“Our panel was original to the house and completely full. OSB upgraded us to 200 amp, pulled the permit, met the inspector, and left the basement cleaner than they found it.”
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 Massachusetts home, with a short power interruption.
That's the best time to do it, and it's the cheapest moment too.
