Residential Lightning & Surge Protection
Layered protection for Florida homes against utility surges and nearby lightning events.
Why Florida Homes Need Surge Protection
Lightning does not have to strike your home directly to cause damage. Nearby strikes and utility switching can send transient voltage through power, cable, and communication lines. Modern homes contain sensitive electronics in air conditioners, appliances, generators, security systems, and smart controls.
A Layered Protection Strategy
- Type 1 or Type 2 surge protective device at the service or main panel
- Point-of-use protection for especially sensitive electronics
- Review of grounding and bonding conditions
- Protection coordination for generators, subpanels, and exterior equipment
What Whole-Home Protection Helps Prevent
A properly selected surge protective device diverts damaging transient energy away from connected equipment. No device can guarantee protection from every direct lightning strike, but a correctly installed system substantially reduces exposure to common electrical surges.
Every installation is evaluated for equipment compatibility, grounding and bonding, available fault current, and applicable electrical-code requirements.
