Panel-mounted protectors • A/C protection • Permitted & inspected • (239) 880-9473
A whole house surge protector in Cape Coral is installed at the electrical panel. Surge protection works in layers: a protector at the panel for the whole house, and, where an expensive appliance deserves it, a protector at the appliance itself. In Cape Coral the appliance that most often justifies it is the outdoor air-conditioning condenser.
The work is permitted through the City of Cape Coral.
On a home near Del Prado in Cape Coral we mounted a DITEK DTK-KG2 Kool Guard 2 beside the existing AC disconnect and connected it with flexible conduit. It is built for air-conditioning equipment and protects against surges, overvoltage and undervoltage. The manufacturer’s data sheet is on the DITEK site, and our project page has the before and after photos.
They cover different things. A panel-mounted device protects the circuits inside the house; an A/C protector sits at the condenser and also watches for under- and overvoltage. Many Cape Coral homeowners start with the A/C because it is the costly piece of equipment, and add the panel protector with a panel upgrade.
A protector wired into the panel is an electrical modification, so we handle it through the City’s online permit portal along with any other panel work. A plug-in or condenser-side device on an existing A/C disconnect is a smaller job; we tell you which applies to yours.
