What is a surge protector?

A surge protector is a device that blocks or redirects excess electrical voltage before it can damage your electronics, appliances, or home wiring. Power surges can happen during lightning strikes, downed power lines, or even when a large appliance cycles on. While small plug-in surge strips offer some protection, they only cover what’s directly plugged into them. A whole house surge protector, installed at your main electrical panel, defends your entire home from sudden spikes in voltage. At Done Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric, we install reliable surge protection systems that give you peace of mind—so your expensive equipment and smart devices stay safe no matter what hits the grid.
