Surge Protection FAQs
Protecting your Omaha home starts with understanding how surge protection works. Here are answers to common questions about whole-home versus plug-in systems.
What is the difference between whole-home and plug-in protectors?
Whole-home surge protectors are installed at your main electrical panel to stop surges before they enter your home's circuits, while plug-in strips only protect devices connected directly to them.
Do I still need power strips if I have whole-home protection?
Yes. We recommend a layered approach. The whole-home unit handles massive external surges (like lightning), while plug-in strips protect sensitive electronics from smaller internal surges.
How long does a whole-home surge protector last?
Most units are designed to last for many years, but their lifespan depends on the number and severity of surges they intercept. Many Omahans replace them every 5-10 years for maximum safety.
Can a surge protector handle a direct lightning strike?
While they are highly effective against nearby strikes and grid fluctuations, no device can guarantee 100% protection against a direct lightning hit, which carries millions of volts.
