Protecting My Whole Home From Electrical Surge
Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money.
Synopsis:
Do you find yourself replacing light bulbs too often? Are you worried about your TV & appliances operating correctly for their full life? Have you noticed that your phone & computer batteries have drained significantly, despite constant charging? All of these things may be good reasons for a whole home surge protector.
In this video Joel will demonstrate 2 types of surge protectors that install directly into a home’s electrical panel to provide protection for all circuits. This is a home upgrade with significant long-term benefit, especially in tandem with surge protector strips in outlet receptacles throughout the home.
Though step-by-step and widely available, we’d rank this as an intermediate-level DIY project due to the discomfort of some when working in their electrical panel. We hope to relieve your stress during and after the installation!
