Whole-House Surge Protection

It's important to protect all your electronic devices, not just computers, from power surges. Printers, televisions, appliances, and computer peripherals all require protection. However, it can be inconvenient to use individual surge protectors on all the devices that need protection.One solution is to install a whole-house surge protector, as shown in this photo. The device is installed by an electrician and is attached to your circuit breaker panel. Whole-house surge protectors work just like other protection devices, but they protect all electrical devices in the house at once. The typical cost to buy and install on of these devices range from $200 to $300 and is generally less than the cost of buying individual protectors for every electrical device in your home.
