Whole-House Surge Protection in Louisville & Lexington

Having your home’s electricity go out during a power surge may not seem like a big deal. Still, this common household headache can damage the performance and quality of your electronics. If this happens to you, it’s important to address it quickly to protect your home from future surges. 

Fortunately, Dauenhauer offers whole-house surge protection for residents in Louisville and Lexington. Our skilled technicians have the certification and experience to protect your home and electronics.

What is a Whole-Home Surge Protector?

When a power surge happens, extra electricity is pushed from power outlets to electronic devices, causing them to overheat, burn, or malfunction. A whole-home surge protector prevents this by redirecting extra electrical power away from external devices.

As you know, electronics can be expensive. Surge protectors help protect your investments and keep your household safe. Dauenhauer’s professional electricians install whole-home surge protectors at your home’s main electrical panel, offering comprehensive coverage of your entire electrical system.

Why Surge Protection is Important for Kentucky Homes

Kentucky is no stranger to severe lightning and thunderstorms, and most homeowners’ insurance policies do not cover damage to electronic devices. Additionally, replacing damaged power outlets and electricity sources can be quite expensive. 

Installing one of Dauenhauer’s surge protectors or whole-house generators is a great way to ensure your home is always powered and protected from unexpected power surges. 

By installing surge protectors and whole-house generators, you can expect that:

• You will have restored power quickly 
• You can keep your devices running (personal, medical)
• You are protected against power surges post-outage
• You stay safe during an emergency

Power surges are unpredictable, and when they happen, nothing can prevent damage to your electronic devices besides a surge protector. 

Installing a whole-house surge protector and conducting regular electrical maintenance can save you time and money when it comes to keeping your home and electronics safe. 

Types of Damage Surge Protectors Help Prevent—and Don’t Prevent

Surge protectors are designed to protect your electronic devices from damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes. However, it is also essential to know what they don’t protect. 

Here’s a list of what surge protectors can’t do.

• Surge protectors cannot stop power outages. Whether caused by natural events or human error, power outages happen regardless of whether you have a surge protector.

• Surge protectors cannot prevent a lightning strike. Lightning strikes happen at the hands of Mother Nature—something that a surge protector cannot and will not prevent.

• Surge protectors cannot counteract voltage drops. Voltage drops indicate potential issues in your electrical system; surge protectors cannot fix this.

• Surge protectors cannot shield your devices from physical damage or wear and tear. They are designed to defend against electrical spikes, not drops, spills, or long-term component degradation.

• Surge protectors cannot protect data cables; they only protect power cords. To safeguard Ethernet, coaxial, or phone lines, you’ll need a surge protector specifically designed for those types of connections.

• Surge protectors cannot stop electrical damage due to bad wiring. Faulty or outdated wiring can cause consistent voltage irregularities that bypass standard surge protection.
