Surge Protection
Triad Surge Protection
Protect What Matters Most.
Modern homes and businesses rely on more electronics and connected devices than ever before, making surge protector installation one of the smartest ways to help protect your electrical system. Power surges can result from lightning strikes, utility grid switching, or electrical malfunctions, causing costly damage to your electrical system and anything connected to it, including appliances, televisions, computers, HVAC equipment, electric motors, and more. Professional surge protector installation helps reduce the risk of damage and adds an important layer of protection for your home or business.
Based in Greensboro, North Carolina, and proudly serving the entire Triad, King Electrical Services provides expert surge protection installation tailored to help safeguard your electrical system and the valuable equipment connected to it.
Professional Surge Protection Installation
"Whole-home", or "whole-panel", surge protectors are rated as Type 1 or Type 2, with the main, and sometimes only, difference being their installation location. Some units are rated both Type 1 and Type 2; however, licensed electricians typically install them as Type 2 in compliance with state and local code requirements.
These types of surge protectors are rated in several differing aspects of protection, such as surge rating, and VPR (Voltage Protection Rating), to name a few. These ratings are important to consider as they indicate different strengths, such as how well a unit can divert a lightning strike to ground, and how many heavy surges it can withstand. A few units are also rated to protect against electromagnetic pulses, such as those from solar flare events. Professional surge protection installation involves considering these factors to determine the best options for the desired level of protection.

Why Electrical Surge Protection Matters
Investing in electrical surge protection is essential for both residential and commercial properties. Power surges can cause immediate and costly damage to sensitive electronics. A well-designed surge protection system minimizes this risk, allowing you to use your devices without worrying about sudden voltage fluctuations. Protection against surges is not just about avoiding repairs; it’s about safeguarding your investments and ensuring the safe functioning of your electrical infrastructure.
Point of Use Surge Protection for Electronics
In addition to surge protection at your main electrical panel and all sub-panels, we also recommend adding point-of-use surge protection (power strip surge protectors) at sensitive electronics, such as televisions, computers, and more. By layering protection from your main panel right down to the point-of-use surge protectors (power strip surge protectors) at your most sensitive devices, we create a holistic defense system. This tailored approach helps ensure your electrical system has increased protection against surges.
