Why Voltage Transients Are a Silent Killer

Voltage transients—also known as voltage spikes, power surges, or electrical surges—are
unpredictable bursts of power that can strike without warning. These stealthy bursts happen due
to:

  • Lightning strikes
  • Utility grid switching or transformer faults
  • Large appliances cycling (ACs, HVAC, ovens)
  • Internal surges from loose connections or motor starts
    And here’s the scary part: they can instantly damage electronics, trigger hidden heat buildup in wiring, and even start fires inside walls

Homeowners Who Missed Surge Protection Often Say...

“My electronics just died during a storm.”
“Costly repairs—and it wasn’t covered under warranty.”
“A tiny surge shredded expensive smart devices.”
Isn’t it wiser to protect a $10,000 solar + battery system than to risk it all?

Whole-Home Surge Protection: Your First Line of Defense

Instead of relying on power strips, whole-home surge protection is installed directly at the electrical service panel. It intercepts surges before they enter your home’s wiring—protecting all downstream systems like EV chargers, solar inverters, and smart panels.


This is no longer optional—NEC 230.67 (2023) now requires SPDs on all new residential service panels.

Our Recommended SPDs That Stand Above the Rest

1. Eaton CHSPT2ULTRA
� Outdoor-rated (NEMA 4)
� 108 kA surge capacity
� Lifetime warranty
� $75,000 equipment protection
2. Square D HOM2175SB / QO2175SB
� Panel-mounted design
� 50 kA capacity
� 5-year warranty
� $100,000 equipment coverage
Both are UL 1449 certified and installed with water-tight fittings, proper grounding, and full
NEC 285 & 230.67 compliance by licensed pros.

Power Protection That Works With Smart Homes

Span smart panels integrate seamlessly with Tesla solar and PowerWall systems, enabling real-time load control, energy tracking, and app-based command. When paired with a whole- home surge protector, your electrification system is both intelligent and secure.

Want energy usage insights? Home energy monitors like Sense, Wiser, and Emporia Vue give you real-time visibility into what’s consuming power—great for:

• EV charging optimization
• Identifying energy hogs
• Managing solar production and battery draw

Add a Home Energy Audit – And Get Paid for It

A home energy audit isn’t just smart—it’s strategic. Our audits help assess your actual energy
flow, identify waste, and determine if your home is prepared for future loads like EV charging or
battery storage.
But here’s where it gets even better:
� The Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (25C) allows you to claim 30% of the
cost of a home energy audit, up to $150 per year.
� If your audit leads to panel upgrades, insulation, or other qualifying improvements, you can
earn up to $1,200/year in additional tax credits.
� Solar and battery installs are also eligible for the 30% Residential Clean Energy Credit
(through 2032).
We’ll provide everything you need to claim these benefits through IRS Form 5695—and we’re
here to help you through the process.

What Other Experts Say

• Voltage spikes silently degrade wiring and cause unseen fires
• Whole-home surge protection is far more effective than plug-in strips
• Look for UL 1449, low clamping voltage, and high joule ratings—which our systems
exceed
